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!

Band Of Brothers is now banned from all streaming, as is saving Private Ryan, fury, and inglorious bastards.

Those are all terrorist propaganda.

[–] CeruleanRuin@lemmings.world 2 points 6 days ago

Well of course, those were made by notorious antifa pizzagate mastermind Tom Hanks.

Says the extremist domestic terrorist organization currently occupying my country.

Edit: yes where ARE the Epstein files?

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

It's useful because now they can claim anyone they want to ICE that they are Antifa.

"so are you a 'explode something' terrorist, or 'Shares a meme that hurt someone's fefe's' terrorist?"

[–] Donjuanme@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago

I think I'm just a passive consumer of American life who doesn't think fascism is all that swell, type of terrorist.

I guess they were correct that "we're all domestic terrorists"... Except a lot of the calls to violence are coming from the other side, and I just had this title thrust upon me...

[–] AnUnusualRelic@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Oh no, they're going to raid aintifa's home address!

[–] krunklom@lemmy.zip 2 points 6 days ago

The antifa is coming from IN the house

[–] MangioneDontMiss@feddit.nl 2 points 6 days ago

great. come and get me.

[–] Star@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 6 days ago

Oh boy, I'm a double terrorist!

[–] Asidonhopo@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Is that a better or worse classification than Juggalos? Just saying I havent been seeing anyone with a hatchetman tattoo altering their behavior much

[–] danc4498@lemmy.world 253 points 1 week ago (9 children)

They know that Antifa isn’t real. This way they can call anything Antifa and it’s now a terrorist that has no human rights.

The vast majority of these tweets allege that Soros is paying protestors to riot, and that he funds antifa. A smaller number claim that he plans to radicalize African Americans in order to undermine society and enable the globalist takeover of America, while some go so far as to claim that George Floyd’s death was actually a false flag deployed by Soros in order to precipitate the current crisis.

White supremacists are so fucking stupid. And so fucking in charge of the USA.

Good! It's ABOUT Time we label WWII vets as the TERRORISTS they Are!

[–] NotAnonymousAtAll@feddit.org 105 points 1 week ago (5 children)

If you are anti-anti-fa, that means you are fa. Do I need to spell it our more explicitly than that?

It's so weird, like that should be the default, and not opt-in.

Pretty safe to say America is officially, explicitly, pro-fascism, then? Does this qualify us for any refugee status or something?

So everybody who fought in WWII is now classified as a terrorist since they were fighting fa(cism).

Remember Antifa is short for anti-fascist. Calling it what it is changes the meaning behind this.

Well, guess we’re the ones who are all domestic terrorists.

[–] Sterile_Technique@lemmy.world 43 points 1 week ago

If we already gotta do the time, might as well do the crime. /shrug

[–] Pyr_Pressure@lemmy.ca 49 points 1 week ago (9 children)

Is Antifa even a group? Like, do they send out newsletters or some shit? Can you buy a hat? Vote for leadership roles?

I thought it was more of a political belief. Wouldn't that just be calling all left wingers terrorists?

[–] DNS@discuss.online 47 points 1 week ago (5 children)

Yes, this is an attempt to label any sane person who is anti-fascist a terrorist. The irony is the likelihood of WW2 grandkids voting in favor of the current fascist. We're truly fucked as a nation.

Congratulations everyone! We are all now domestic terrorists if we don't agree with nazi's and the fascist government we have!

Thanks republicans! You got what you wanted! Free speech for right wing extremists, and everyone else is labeled a terrorist who can be sent to a concentration camp with zero due process!

All law and order is now gone, our economy is quickly crashing, and the job market is destroyed. Just as Donald Trump told his voter base he would accomplish, he actually did it. I give Project 2025 more credit than i did before. They streamlined us into Fascist US in less than a year!

[–] DarkFuture@lemmy.world 46 points 1 week ago

Well, considering ANTIFA doesn't exist, I'd say it's pretty safe to say they're doing this so they can label anyone they don't like as ANTIFA and disappear them.

Everyone should be arming themselves and helping everyone they know arm themselves.

"White House bans the 2001 miniseries Band of Brothers for not paying homage to Charlie Kirk."
