Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

This is not merely the escalation of political violence against the right’s out groups, it is the proliferation of a culture of right wing terrorism. They said it was civil war, and while that rhetoric has tempered due to the unsurprising discovery that the assassin was yet another right wing radical, they fully intend to escalate their civil war goals by robbing opponents of their means to survive in our capitalist hellscape of a country.

This is my advice, if you find someone who has had their livelihoods stolen from them for expressing relief at a slightly kinder world, share their employer. Share the website, the Yelp, flood them with emails and 1-star reviews letting them know that terrorism will not be tolerated.

The republicans said we are war. It may not be a war of bullets and bombs, at least not yet, but do not doubt them.

This is why you keep your shit private. Do not friend your boss on any social. Do not friend your coworkers on any social that you might say some shit on.

Boy howdy, are they ever. MAGA Conservatives in the U.S. have organized to doxx them: https://www.charliesmurderers.com/.

This is not a doxxing website. This website is a lawful data aggregator of publicly-available information. It has been created for the purposes of public education.

The lot of them seem keen on applying untoward pressure and harassment against their ideological opponents, casting their own tactics as terrorism when used by anyone left-of-center. Turns out that they aren't so liable to apply the moniker of 'snowflake' to their own reactions.

The website is actually on Squarespace, which means we can report them for violating Squarespace's Acceptable Use Guidelines! https://www.squarespace.com/acceptable-use-policy/

Report by emailing abuse@squarespace.com

They also registered the domain through namecheap so can report to them as well based on their TOS agreement here: https://www.namecheap.com/legal/domains/rdap-tos/

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 15 points 1 day ago

Reported them. Takes a few minutes at most. Everyone do this. You can fight back without firing a weapon yet.

[–] obre@lemmy.world 5 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

It would be terrible if the email (expose@charliesmurderers.com) associated with this doxxing site were to be flooded with spam and false reports. Nobody here would be unethical enough to automate something like that, right?

[–] Captainvaqina@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 day ago (2 children)

That domain needs more reports for abuse of tos.

[–] whiwake@lemmy.cafe 7 points 1 day ago

I’m not sure it’s actually abusing, but it would be fun to figure out who made it and doxx them.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I don't even know why that site is still allowed to be up. Based on what I was reading yesterday, it seems to be violating laws...

Boy howdy, are they ever. MAGA Conservatives in the U.S. have organized to doxx them: https://www.charliesmurderers.com/.

I'm sensing trolling potential: maybe impersonate some MAGA conservatives, post something to get them on that website, get them to eat their own?

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That doesn't appear to be the case. By their own declaration, they're openly soliciting leads which they intend to catalogue and distribute as a list at some undetermined later date. The examples on the splash page are just a few of those fed to them already.

[–] lmmarsano@lemmynsfw.com 4 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I think you're misreading: I'm talking about potential to exploit that against them. A garbage in/lols out sort of deal.

[–] TrojanRoomCoffeePot@lemmy.world 3 points 5 hours ago

Ah, you're right I misread that.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 23 points 1 day ago

This is one of the reasons the Dark Forest theory is a good way to approach the 'net. Not that I celebrate Kirk's death anyway, but...still. Lots of vengeful little Reich wing Karens itching to cancel everyone they disagree with.

Everything is projection with the Reich wing. EVERYTHING. The only cancel culture is theirs, and they love the real political correctness, and really love policing that political correctness.

The wonders of linking your real identity to social media. Brave new world that has such people in it.

Some people will learn the importance of privacy only when it’s much too late.

What an abhorrent country...

They're just trying to honor his memory by cynically weaponizing tragedy. It's what he'd have wanted.

The leader of a Norwegian far left (not quite Marxist) youth party organization Rød Ungdom had to leave her position after she posted a sarcastic video about "oh no, how awful" it is that he died.

To be fair, she's an extremist cunt and the parent party Rødt (Norwegian Red Party) have probably been looking for a godd enough reason to oust her for some time now.

Oh, will you all just start fighting already?
