Saying NO to fascists/nazis - if you are one of those, you are not welcome here
So what I’m reading is that this is a dictatorship and if we don’t comply with what you say and want, we get banned? Pretty backwards if you ask me.
If you didn't agree to the terms of the website and forums upon account creation, you had the choice to opt out. This is not a public forum.

However, you agreed to the rules so stop bitching.
 
How is this thread still going?! Why would people ever bother to embarrass themselves by trying to create counter-points?

If this thread was created 10 years ago:
Post: We don't want Nazis or fascists here.
Everyone: No shit!

This thread being created today:
Post: We don't want Nazis or fascists here.
Morons: Why are you so mean to us!!! Why would you trample on my free speeeeeeech!!!! Hate is mah freedumb!!!!!

There isn't a debate to be had here, and it's pitiful to see it go into 30 pages.

"@everyone: Please do not masturbate in the voice chat"

"OH what is this, a dictatorship? I'm sorry, I thought this was AMERICA!"

“Fascists and Nazis aren’t welcome”
“Wow! That’s the real dictatorship!”
Might I ask why we should allow people who want to commit genocide on our forums?

When you're shown any terms and conditions, do you complain about those things being a dictatorship and treading on your freedom?

You're free to leave at any time if you have an issue with the site rules.
 
Freedom of speech exists but mainly in your country, on the Internet you can say whatever you want but you are subject to the rules of the site you use to express yourself so I would not say that it is relevant to mention freedom of speech because here it is expressed under the rules of the forum.

I think the "debate" for some, such as there is one, is not that anyone "wants Nazis here." As you said, "No shit!" The issue is, whether someone here qualifies is the Admin's call (ultimately) and not everyone else. If you think another member's post violates this or any other rule, report it and let the mod deal with it. But non-staff members calling other members a Nazi/fascist, whether directly or by inference, should be just as bannable an offense. And it happens here all day, every day. Nobody here should be getting these immature smears thrown at them.

If you advocate for white supremacy and downplay oppression of minorities, consciously or not, you are a nazi. If you support an administration who has decided the president is above the law, enforced martial law for petty reasons, replaced government officials who disagree with them, and removed as much checks and balances as possible, consciously or not, you are a fascist. Nobody gives a shit what the technical, legal definition of nazi and fascist are. It is effectively a social concept at this point.

And furthermore, political disinformation is vehemently against the rules and yet you post that here "all day, every day" with little consequence.

I've been here 20 years. You think I'm a Nazi? Report me. But if the mod disagrees, it's YOU that should be banned.

Some real both sides nonsense with this remark

I've been here 20 years. You think I'm a Nazi? Report me. But if the mod disagrees, it's YOU that should be banned.
You've demonstrated numerous times that you don't have an issue aligning with them at the polls. And some people may not bother making a differentiation like with the Nazis at the Charlottesville rally in 2017 who marched along side "non nazis" and those "non nazis" didn't feel a need to distance themselves or condemn them. Same issue with a couple Ron Desantis rallies a few years ago.

For real, a simple yes or no question for you. Did you vote for the guy who has paraphrased Hitler on more than one occasion (and I can prove this to you again) and stated that migrants were eating pets? Did you vote for the person saying these things? It's a yes or no answer.

Let me be very clear that I am not calling you a Nazi. I am simply explaining the current situation and people are free to come to their own conclusions.

Eh, I dunno if being a Nazi should have an equivalent punishment to incorrectly calling someone a Nazi. Sounds like Roblox banning people who go after predators, I dunno if you saw the responses to that decision.

Don't get me wrong, I'd prefer it if there was a greater emphasis on just reporting to the mods rather than public accusations, but I'm also not surprised it reached that stage given how it is only fairly recently that the mods actually took a clear stance on this.

We need stronger rules on name-calling in general, just in principle, I doubt it would be enough to decontaminate this forum when what it really needs is a nuke. But I don't think name calling is as bad as being a Nazi, there's a bit of a gap.

That's all I'm saying. As for why, just read above.

Would you like to be mistakenly accused of being a child molester, or rapist, in a public setting? Like at your job for instance? It's slander, and it's going to mar others' perception of you even if they know it's not true. Of course calling a person a rapist or child molester is not as bad as someone actually being one (both) of those things, and the same goes for "Nazi," but there still should be accountability for attempting to smear someone else here. "Nazi" is a pretty ugly label, and certain people here love to use it against anyone who disagrees with them, for exactly the same reason. It's effective even if not true.
 
This thread is pointless. "Oh I'm a Nazi that wants to break the rules. I suppose this thread has corrected me."
Post automatically merged:

this thread is literally a honeypot for fascist and nazis.

if you feel the need to post something about this not being a fair rule, or "what about communism" or some other shit, think about what it says about yourself and just leave this place before I make you
So you bitch about the site not making any money and now you're threatening to ban people who disagree with your politics. Bruh.

That's called having standards. In my book having the balls to tell insufferable people to either get sufferable or to get out, especially when money is short, is one of the most honorable things I could imagine. What are you expecting? Getting your cheeks kissed?

Besides, I doubt that nazis have contributed to the well-being of this site at all... what I observe is quite the opposite. They try to use this site as another medium to spew their bs without providing anything of substance. Sadly, that's what they always do. They already ruined meme sites for me with their constant flow of fake ragebait. Nobody cares about their complexes, but they can't stop shoving them into your face at every opportunity.

So yeah, I'm all for the bans. Free speech protects you from persecution by a state, which in itself is a good thing. But thank god the Temp is not a state and can implement house rules you have to follow. If you don't understand that concept, try going into a biker club and take a dump onto the bar. Alternatively, it might be sufficient to make use of your right to free speech and call everyone there a fat hairy manchild with a midlife crisis.

Every Nazi I’ve pointed out turned out to be a Nazi. I can’t speak for other members but I’ve had a good hit rate on this one.
I do believe people misuse the terms far too often and even jump the gun. However, an average person seeing obvious Nazism, should call it out. I don’t think you are a Nazi, even if have a lot of disagreements with you.
