Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

Funny how it's always undemocratic if it's the right side of the spectrum. If people illegaly entered your country. You should be able to deport them, no?
If you read the article, the deportation plan touches on those who are already German citizens by essentially paying them to "remigrate". Remigration is often a right wing dog whistle.
Bruh, they talk about even to deport Germans who oppose their politics. And as German we know that mass deportation is a dog whistle for killing .
I think suggesting they're proposing killing is a wild overstatement, but the prospect of mass deportations of German citizens – people born in Germany – is really disturbing.
They talked about the 'deportation' 8km or 5miles away from Wannsee, where the OG Nazis planned the 'deportation' of Jews, communists, alcoholics and other minorities to Madagascar. And this was a dog whistle for Endlösung. So even if that's the most horrifying outcome, it's not a 'wild overstatement.
I wasn't aware of that link.
Very grim...
And I'm not saying that they could make their ideas reality, because the world is different. I talk about what they would LIKE to do and that their choices are symbolic.
These people entered legally as refugees.
No they didn't. Also 431200 ordered to leave the EU in 2022 alone! The only way to do something about this is mass deportation.
See that's the fundamental difference here. People who aren't racist pieces of shit don't see this as a situation where something must be done. Because multiculturalism is a good thing.
What makes it so good?
That's is a blind ideological position, with a very poor evidence base, that frankly is wearing pretty thin across the entire continent.
Sweden is currently dealing with its capital city turned into the gun-murder capital of Europe by drug-trafficking gangs who are migrants and 'refugees'. France and Germany have both suffered numerous appalling mass terrorist atrocities in recent years. You had an Algerian-born man go into a school in Ireland and stab a bunch of children just last year.
Antisemitism is skyrocketing with appalling hate crimes against Jews, and it's largely coming from Muslim communities who've done nothing to address the frightening levels of antisemitism within their communities.
These are issues that need to be addressed. The levels of extremism among immigrant communities are a threat to many European countries, and there has to be a way to fix the problems that exist in that respect. If you're just going to ignore these problems, other people are going to point them out and begin to address them, and you're going to lose the argument in the real world, not just online.
Of all the good arguments you could use, this is probably the weakest one.
Everyone i don't agree with is a racist
100% agreed with you. See how mony downvotes are given from haters
Never believe anyone in politics who says there's only one way to do something. They're trying to trick you from not seeing the very many other ways.
As an engineer, rest assured, there is almost always another way to do something. I get paid to find them.
Why take part in a conversation if you are not properly informed on the topic?
Not just illegal immigrants, also everyone they don't like. And in cahoots with self declared nazis.
