  Somebody was banned for posting the GIF of the Nazi Guy getting knocked out (you know the one).

  The community is not having it.

    Every time I walk past that stretch near Pike and 3rd in Seattle, right over that bit of concrete where the nazi got laid the fuck out, I punch the air. Every time.

      Someone needs to make a monument, like that woman hitting the nazi with her purse. Maybe, until then, some graffiti to make the location to people passing by? Or maybe some other cheap temporary display.

    No wonder. Some rich guy must have got very upset. Strange though, plenty of people get punched all the time, and there are plenty more GIFs people getting punched. Banning specifically the Nazi guy getting punched isn’t good PR I think…

    It just amazes me how to doing the Nazi salute, uniforms and speech’s are entirely okay now. However, being against it gets you banned.

    The world has gone a full circle and we are back to the days were fascism, hatred and all that is okay. Unfortunately.

      The sources for this video indicate the person wearing the armband:

      • Harassed a black man on a bus.
      • Walked around downtown Seattle for an hour dressed that way.
      • Had several verbal confrontations with passerby who commented on his clothing.
        Source 1

      • Several 911 calls were placed about this man attempting to instigate fights.
      • The man declined to file a police report after the police did appear.
        Source 2

      For at least an hour at any point leading up to this, the person wearing the armband could have taken it off and stopped interacting with others. To my knowledge, the person who was punched has never spoken to media to explain why they were dressed as such, despite the massive internet fame of the video.

      Do you still feel uncomfortable? Do you know in your bones if the person deserved it?

      Fancy dress? That’s a stretch. Usually in fancy dress you’re imitating someone. Who is he meant to be? Just a generic Nazi.

    • rumba@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Consider:

      Someone is getting knocked the F out on camera.

      There is a crowd of people

      No one is stopping or diffusing the situation

      No one is stopping over the check on the fallen

      Then calculate it appears to be a guy wearing a nazi arm band

      then consider that it would be the shittiest idea for a halloween costume south of blackface and even wearing nazi garb would likely get you a rightful ass-kicking.

      There’s no math there that makes that even slightly questionable.

    • porcoesphino@mander.xyz ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

      Yeah, his hand coming up in a way that could be “this isn’t what you think” doesn’t help. The description makes the situation sound very different though and there’s not much of an excuse for the armband right now. But yeah, not a fan of the gif now I’ve seen it

      a lot of people, regardless of what they think of charlie kirk, got traumatized because it is very graphic. i think some people encouraged playing tetris as a way to get your mind off that video. is it insensitive to tell people to play tetris after watching that graphic video?

    Yeah and the community does not understand what it means to protect your audience from certain content. Violence is violence. At this point it does not matter who is who. But the community just had too much lead in the water and is unable to form their own thoughts, thus just follow the other sheep.

      The social contract of tolerance doesn’t extend to those who are intolerant. They are outside the protection of Tolerant Society’s protection, and the Tolerant are free (and, in fact, strongly encouraged) not to tolerate them, because they aren’t covered.

  Earlier this week a user posted “kill Nazis” and got a warning from Imgur saying that imgur is an inclusive platform, welcome to everyone. (which apparently includes Nazis?)
  That’s what kicked this off (again).

  There was already some upset feelings in the community because at the beginning of the week one of the “Elbow Deep In A” accounts got suspended over a “Gone Mild” drawing of a goblin girl. So it didn’t take much for the community to be really upset with “business daddy”

    got banned from that shithole before business daddy owned them.

    told a piece of shit promoting eugenics to “cleanse the gene pool and drink bleach” if they were so concerned about bad genetics.

    never went back. I’m happy the community there became the toxic cesspool it deserved to become.

      There was once someone making the claim that drinking bleach and bleach enemas cures autism.

      I told them to test that theory and go drink bleach.

      I got banned… i forget the flowery language they used, but basically got banned for being “hateful”

      I got a 24 hour ban for saying Danielle Smith should stand on her head so the blood will rush to get brain and she could have a coherent thought. “Promoting Violence”

      I got a 72 hour ban for responding to someone who said Vance will never be US President. I said he would when Trump had the inevitable coronary from eating too many cheeseburgers. “Promoting violence”

      Perma-ban for responding to a story about Kristi Noem telling Canada how to run border security with saying she should keep her cunt ass on her side of the border. “Inciting violence”.

      Reddit WANTS to be a right wing echo chamber and looks for excuses to ban people who don’t agree with that world view.

  The only reason any of these people have power is because we, as a society, continue to use their shit… Get the fuck off Twitter, get the fuck off Reddit, get the fuck off Facebook. Make those companies worthless by not using them it’s literally so easy. I’m sure I’m preaching to the choir here but God damn it’s literally so easy, just read a book. Touch some grass. We weren’t ready for the internet and it’s time to turn it off.

    I’m really waiting for this idea to catch on. I got online in the late 80s to get away from normies and their boring, repetitive normie mind-viruses. Back then it was just nerds talking to other nerds. Nowadays you can’t even talk to your friends here. This whole thing is for people to get angry about politics and buy products. The sooner all these people leave, the sooner we can get back to what originally brought us here.

    Hopefully soon, going on social media will be seen as a bad antisocial habit like smoking.

    I mean, way ahead of you. But we’re just jerking each other off if we think saying this downthread of a Lemmy post is changing anyone’s mind. This is the most Preaching To The Choir ass post you can make outside of an actual church.

    We weren’t ready for the internet and it’s time to turn it off.

    eye-roll

    Listen, if you want to walk around downtown with a big sandwich board that says “Log The Fuck Off And Touch Grass”, I’ll cheer for you when I see you. But there’s a reason people flock to an easily accessible portal for social engagement. And its naive to keep shouting “Log the fuck off!” from within the medium you can’t seem to quit yourself.

  Imgur has oissed me off long enough that I decided to roll my own this summer. When all I need is a place to store stuff for easy linking, building a web frontend is pretty trivial.

  So I infrequently use Imgur and basically a user got banned for saying ‘kill all nazis’ and another user’s post got taken down that had anti-nazi rhetoric. This is the most recent of a few scenarios where the mods have been seen as incompetent or overall shitty and so the community revolts. Honestly kinda dig it, at least they can coordinate and show a unified front…granted it’s slacktivism to a point but it gets people’s attention? Idk how I feel about it honestly.
