Edit: Rule has been replaced.

Old title was “An addendum to the rules. No more using the words “Nazi” or “Fascist”.”

The words Nazi and Fascist have no meaning. No one is referring to 1940s Germany or 1930s Italy. It’s just name-calling at this point. You can see this all over this sub.

So the banned words has been extended from just stuff like racial slurs to include Nazi and Fascist.

Yes, I do realize this is a slippery slope, but hopefully any meaning you wanted to impart can still be done without the kindergarten-level name-calling.

Credit to https://lemm.ee/u/[email protected] for the idea.

Hell of a lot better than my “Conservatives Only” tag idea or banning bad faith arguments. It’s a clear cut rule that should help with a problem without cutting down on actual discussions.

If you have any feedback/complaints/raging against the machine/questions, feel free to leave them here.

    Go read the Hamas charter

    The Hamas charter has nothing to do with leftism.

    A ceasefire will result in the genocide of every non-muslim in Israel.

    I’ve already explained this to you, no it will not.

    And don’t think I haven’t noticed you only care about civilians when they’re Muslim

    This is a lie.

    What happened to the Jews and Christians and Druze and everyone else in Palestine, Pizzaman? What happened? Do you care about them?

    They’re getting bombed/killed just the same. And it’s wrong. I have always said so. When I say “civilians are being killed by Isreal” I’m including everyone.

    But again, you don’t care for nuance, you just want to call leftists nazis.

      I’m not going to go line by line, but this biy is so easily correctable.

      They’re getting bombed just the same. And it’s wrong. I have always said so. When I say “civilians are being killed by Isreal” I’m including everyone.

      The demographics of Gaza Strip are 98%-99% Sunni Muslim. Arab Christian 0.1%, and the rest are labelled other.

      https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_the_State_of_Palestine#Religions_2

      You can’t bomb people who are already dead.

      So again, pizzaman.

      What happened to the Jews and Christians and Druze and everyone else in Palestine? Was there a genocide?
