A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. 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.
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.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
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.

Good bot.
🦀 Nazi punks fuck off and rot in prison 🦀
I did nazi that coming.
We're gonna need a new punk rock movement to get all these nazi punks to fuck off
The thing is: that Nazi scum will now be placed in an enclosed space that is full of marginalised people by going to prison. His time in there with them will perpetuate the culture of harm and discrimination.
Imprisonment is always the least-bad option out of a bunch of bad options.
I'm not really into the "send a message" aspect of punishment, I don't want this guy punished so that others of similar mind fear being punished.
However, I'm glad that his imprisonment clearly demonstrates that our society has resolved that nazism will not be tolerated.
If the price is this idiot being more extremified then so be it.
Yall doing that and meanwhile in America we are allowing one to run for the presidency.
A stupid man does stupid things and has real consequences. Anyone who is not stupid, even if he is a Nazi, will not have these problems
Obviously this guy is a scum bag but what even is his angle here?
"look at me being punished for breaking this law everyone universally thinks is a great idea"
It's the Jordan Peterson tactic. Except unlike Peterson, there actually are consequences when you do the thing this asshole did.
How the heck is he 25? Dude has bushy old-man eyebrows and greying hair. He looks 55, not 25.
Hate ages you quicker than drugs
While I agree on him, some people do grey early. I started around 15 or so, and my father around 13. I still think some of his other features make him seem older as well though, like the eyebrows you mentioned.
I'm in my 20s and always thought I was aging pretty badly but jeez yeah he fully looks mid to late 40s. A good mid to late 40s but definitely no younger if I were to guess.
Seriously I was confused too, I thought that might be his lawyer.
Bad genes, which are also responsible for his criminality. Also probably an immigrant.
Jacob Hersant
With a name like that...
I saw the picture and my brain filled it with.....first Prime minister.... And I was bummed 😞. Not Australia! Then I finished reading and that made me jump like a kangaroo 🦘. You guys rock! Don't let a Trump ruin your nation too!
And a thousands free speech absolutists cried out ‘but now the Nazis won’t be publicly known!!!’
Nothing good has ever come from public gatherings of Nazis.
Yeah I don't know what the right way to stop them is, but the Marketplace of Ideas sure as fuck isn't preventing Nazi delusions from spreading and taking root. I think we are ready to try alternative solutions such as jail or punches in the face.
Yes, this is the correct way to deal with Nazis. Everyone do what Australia does thank you.
who else started reading and fully expected it would say he becane Gouverneur or some shit
You know every now and then Oz gets a w, it's rare but appreciated
didn't even clear his shoulder, fuckin' weak attempt. if he hadn't said hail Hitler I don't think anyone would have mistaken it for a salute.
BRB, moving to Victoria Australia.
In this housing market?
