Let’s be absolutely clear.

Fascism and nazism have no place on this forum. We will not tolerate hateful ideologies rooted in supremacy, violence, and the dehumanization of others. If you identify with or promote fascist or nazi views, you are not welcome here. This community will not be a safe haven for intolerance, hate speech, or historical revisionism that seeks to minimize or justify the atrocities committed under these ideologies.

This is not up for debate.

Freedom of speech does not mean freedom from consequences, and it does not give you the right to poison this space with dangerous rhetoric. There is no “just a different opinion” when that opinion denies the humanity of others or seeks to revive ideologies responsible for some of the worst crimes in human history.

We are committed to fostering a space that is open, diverse, and respectful. That means:
  • No displaying of fascist or nazi symbols, slogans, or sentiments
  • No support for authoritarianism, racial supremacy, or hate groups
  • No coded language or dog whistles meant to disguise extremist ideologies
  • No glorification of regimes or figures associated with fascism or nazism
Additionally:
  • Stay civil and open-minded when engaging with others, especially when they come from different backgrounds, religions, ethnicities, or life experiences. You do not have to agree with everyone, but you must treat others with basic human decency.
  • This is a diverse community. And that diversity is a strength, not a threat.
We are drawing a line. If you find yourself on the wrong side of it, you are free to leave—or you will be removed.

First offenders will be given an immediate 7-days suspension (I am looking at you "bobbytomorow") and subsequent offenses will result in a permanent ban.
If you do not agree with this, you are invited to leave this place immediately.
 
I honestly never thought we would have to say this out loud, because it's always seemed to me like basic human decency.
What kind of freak world do we live in now?
the president is deporting people to concentration camps without trial and openly discussing direct annexation of sovereign nations
it's pretty freaky is what i'm saying
 
That also explains the reason for many new members joining the forum lately from what I've seen, with their interest being to stir up arguments and rally hate in the politics forum. The same types of people who share the same ideology on 4Chan. How hard is it to be a decent human being in general?
 
Strange. Nothing about communists/communism :unsure:.
An ideology that tortured/killed/starved tens of millions in Slavic countries in the so-called 'Russian revolution' AKA the holodomor.
And there's the whataboutism from one of the people the OP is basically addressing

I feel it's warranted. I feel like the negativity is causing it to spread throughout the entire forum. Getting rather annoying. Younger audience and users with mental illnesses don't understand how to let opinions stick to one topic which is understandable I have no issues with anyone here over it. It should just stick to an opinion over it and let it rest at that. No reason to get over emotional and cause fights over politics.

He covered authoritarianism.

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
 
Thank you for actually taking a clear stance on this, some people got way too comfortable spreading actual bigotry while barely skirting the line.

If it were me, I wouldn't even give them the benefit of the doubt and send them to the shadow realm permanently after a single strike because hate speech should not be tolerated under any circumstances, but that's merely my two cents on the matter. Regardless, thanks for actually doing something about this.
