The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason WHY YSK:

In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- The majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Unless included in our Whitelist for Bots, your bot will not be allowed to participate in this community. To have your bot whitelisted, please contact the moderators for a short review.



Rule 11- Posts must actually be true:

Disinformation, trolling, and being misleading will not be tolerated. Repeated or egregious attempts will earn you a ban. This also applies to filing reports: If you continually file false reports YOU WILL BE BANNED! We can see who reports what, and shenanigans will not be tolerated. We are not here to ban people who said something you don't like.



Rule 12- Linking directly to a video as a source is not acceptable.

Video only posts are responsible for an outsized portion of rules violations. Your post must contain text and meet the requirements of the previous rules.



Rule 13- If you file a report, include what specific rule is being violated and how.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fergie_Chambers

In All About the Money, Chambers said he is dissatisfied with the convention of political civility in American public life, characterizing himself as opposed to it.

In 2024, Chambers told Mother Jones in an interview that he believes "the most important thing for the prosperity of humanity is the destruction of the US",[3] Los Angeles magazine quoted him as saying, "I chant death to America every day. Imperialism is the death of humanity".

He has also been supportive of Russia's invasion of Ukraine and visited Russian-occupied Donbas, referring to Vladimir Putin as a "great man".

Chambers is a vocal supporter of Hamas; he described the 2023 Hamas-led attack on Israel as "a moment of hope and inspiration for tens of millions of people". Chambers later wrote on X that "No faction of the Palestinian resistance, Hamas or other, has done anything wrong".[8][12] He has also reported that he is a founder of Vox Ummah, a Egyptian-based media outlet aligned with Iranian state media

Chambers and his second wife, Cameron Park, met in Atlanta after his return from Russia.[1] In 2013, Chambers was arrested for domestic battery and false imprisonment of Park, although he was not prosecuted. They divorced after 2020.

Charming guy

Yeah at first I was under the impression that he provided monetary aid to Palestinian affiliated organizations, and that that was what was really being punished.

And I do understand that for a people suffering an ethnic cleansing, some kind of strike back at the perpetrators can be expected. but to celebrate it? Man... Like in Star Wars, we'd celebrate the Rebels throwing a bomb at a meeting of Empire big wigs, all of them with vast quantities of blood on their hands... but the Oct. 7th attack was just against regular folk. I bet there were a lot of anti-zionists in attendance at that festival. I sincerely doubt all the people killed there were violent settlers. To celebrate that is... ugh.

Then bro went and praised pootin and his invasion of Ukraine? like, bro. What are you even doing. Borne with a silver spoon in his mouth, dude got 250 million from being a part of the family running cox communications. It's not like he's some working class hero. He just seems like an entitled twat.

Not that I think he should be arrested for it... the drumpf administration is probably just after him because they're racist shit heels that hate brown people, while also doing a sneaky favor for the guys family which cut contact with him and now probably want him to see a jail cell in some sort of twisted familial vengeance scheme.

People ask why there aren't many wealthy donating to the left, here is one of the reasons why. Soros gets shit upon for doing this. There is a British billionaire who did the same and got mobbed for it. Any rich folks donating to progressive causes gets character assassination from the right. Meanwhile, right wing billionaires gets a free pass because they have taken control of the media and brainwashed the masses to vote against their own interest.

[–] birdwing@lemmy.blahaj.zone 18 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Yup, left-wing media need to be more prominent and dominant. Media is a big key.

The Jacobin, Freedom, die Tageszeitung, and so on.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 1 points 17 hours ago* (last edited 17 hours ago)

These are Liberal right wing propaganda outlets frequently engaging in Zionism. Jacobin is horrible. They write anti communist articles for the DSA

Who's that?

I remember now, it's Christopher Hohn.

[–] IndustryStandard@lemmy.world 3 points 17 hours ago

In Authoritarian West you get arrested for being against genocide and abducted to another country against the law

[–] buddascrayon@lemmy.world 17 points 1 day ago

Shouldn't the US be asking for the extradition of Netenyahu to be tried for supporting Hamas then? He has contributed directly to them in the past.

[–] CrimeIsLegalNow@ani.social 43 points 1 day ago (1 children)

This is the guy who inherited a couple hundred million dollars worth of Cox Enterprises and divested it all because he's a communist.

I was wondering how they'd go after him.

The Cox family generally, leans strongly towards republican bents.

This dude definitely is the black sheep.

The family isn't really bad, but neither are they good.

The Cox communications just sold off their monopoly, and it was them that most people had an issue with the family on.

If this guy wasn't a black sheep, the Cox family would be helping him right now. They're crazy tight with each other, generally.

All capitalists are, at the very least, thieves. It is workers who create surplus value, capitalists merely steal it.

The mask is off. Those in reality all see the US is blackmailed with video of them fucking children with Epstein, something the CIA and FBI had to be complicit in by the way.

[–] LucidNightmare@anarchist.nexus 6 points 19 hours ago

The FBI had Trump's number and the rest of the Epstein class, but with 4 presidents across 20 years, there was just NOTHING anyone could do about it... /s

“That’s what Fergie has financed: humanitarian aid and support for people in a situation of great need,” said Garzón. “That’s not terrorism, according to Spanish and European legal standards.”

Ooo, throwing some well-deserved shade there. I guess that's not actually going to offend the people who most need to get offended by it, though.

“I think the most important thing for the prosperity of humanity is the destruction of the US.”

Hmmm...

[–] FlyingCircus@lemmy.world 1 points 16 hours ago

He’s completely right. US imperialism is the biggest threat to humanity.

[–] Laser@feddit.org 3 points 23 hours ago

No worries, Trump is on it

Thank you for sharing.

Have you seen American jails? Yes, torture.

[–] Sunshine@lemmy.ca -2 points 1 day ago (2 children)

The Americans might send him to Guantanamo Bay. Thanks trashy cowardly Spanish government bowing down to Zionist crooks.
