Rules (2024-08-30)
- This is an English-language community. Comments should be in English. Posts can link to non-English news sources when providing a full-text translation in the post description. Automated translations are fine, as long as they don't overly distort the content.
- No links to misinformation or commercial advertising. When you post outdated/historic articles, add the year of publication to the post title. Infographics must include a source and a year of creation; if possible, also provide a link to the source.
- Be kind to each other, and argue in good faith. Don't post direct insults nor disrespectful and condescending comments. Don't troll nor incite hatred. Don't look for novel argumentation strategies at Wikipedia's List of fallacies.
- No bigotry, sexism, racism, antisemitism, islamophobia, dehumanization of minorities, or glorification of National Socialism. We follow German law; don't question the statehood of Israel.
- Be the signal, not the noise: Strive to post insightful comments. Add "/s" when you're being sarcastic (and don't use it to break rule no. 3).
- If you link to paywalled information, please provide also a link to a freely available archived version. Alternatively, try to find a different source.
- Light-hearted content, memes, and posts about your European everyday belong in other communities.
- Don't evade bans. If we notice ban evasion, that will result in a permanent ban for all the accounts we can associate with you.
- No posts linking to speculative reporting about ongoing events with unclear backgrounds. Please wait at least 12 hours. (E.g., do not post breathless reporting on an ongoing terror attack.)
- Always provide context with posts: Don't post uncontextualized images or videos, and don't start discussions without giving some context first.
(This list may get expanded as necessary.)
Posts that link to the following sources will be removed
- on any topic: Al Mayadeen, brusselssignal:eu, citjourno:com, europesays:com, Breitbart, Daily Caller, Fox, GB News, geo-trends:eu, news-pravda:com, OAN, RT, sociable:co, any AI slop sites (when in doubt please look for a credible imprint/about page), change:org (for privacy reasons), archive:is,ph,today (their JS DDoS websites)
- on Middle-East topics: Al Jazeera
- on Hungary: Euronews
Unless they're the only sources, please also avoid The Sun, Daily Mail, any "thinktank" type organization, and non-Lemmy social media (incl. Substack). Don't link to Twitter directly, instead use xcancel.com. For Reddit, use old:reddit:com
(Lists may get expanded as necessary.)
Ban lengths, etc.
We will use some leeway to decide whether to remove a comment.
If need be, there are also bans: 3 days for lighter offenses, 7 or 14 days for bigger offenses, and permanent bans for people who don't show any willingness to participate productively. If we think the ban reason is obvious, we may not specifically write to you.
If you want to protest a removal or ban, feel free to write privately to the admin that applied the rule (check modlog first to find who was it.)

MODERATORS
Please check if your theory survives applying Occam's razor to it. Not that it couldn't be true, but based on our current knowledge I personally would assume that Islamists doing Islamist stuff doesn't have to be part of a bigger conspiracy. At least I wouldn't say it definitely is part of a conspiracy like you do.
Please... Bauschaum attack (with convenient Grüne incriminating pictures and things left behind), AfD setting their own cars on fire, single attacks in front of a Bundesland election over the last years, AfD asking for weaknesses in power grid infrastructure then some time later the sabotage in Berlin in the midst of a harsh winter, then the indymedia postings by so called leftist extremists, and then this where the berlin police force AGAIN fucks up doing basic police work.
There are too many coincidences to not assume that this attack is also either directed by AfD or at least sponsored by russia (how can they still afford hybrid warfare though?)
Because it's incredible cheap. You can buy politicians for very little money, random off-the-mill weirdos for peanuts. Those idots even brain-wash and radicalise themselves by their own constant social media circle jerk. So it's basically for free once the proper echo chambers have been already established.
At this point some kid in a basement on the opposite side of the planet can single-handedly direct the whole army of brain-dead far-right cultists just by placing the next narrative in some ugly AI generated meme then leaning back while the brain-rot squad endlessly regurgitates that "content" in a thousand of permutations.
Damn... Yeah I guess you are right, that once the setup cost were paid, running the show is incredible cheap and easy.
