Europe community on dbzer0. Intended to be a place to discuss European news, politics, or just general topics from a European perspective. Since this is on dbzer0 expect the community to lean more leftist-anarchist but a wide range of views are accepted here (within reason).

Rules:

1. No Bigotry or Hate SpeechAny forms of Homophobia, Transphobia, Queerphobia, Racism, or Ableism will be met with swift and harsh action and will not be tolerated here whatsoever. Bigots will be banned immediately on-sight. This includes apologia of it. Trying to be politely or intellectually bigoted i.e. "Just asking questions" won't be tolerated.

2. No ZionismAny forms of Zionism or Zionist rhetoric will not be tolerated here, this includes Zionist apologia, accusations of antisemitism towards anti-Zionists, or blatant denial or downplaying of the genocide towards Palestinians. Any attempt to uphold or prop up the IHRA definition of antisemitism, will be treated as Zionism. Anyone engaging in Pro-Zionist sentiment or apologia will be actioned in accordance with its severity.

Note: Trying to find loopholes or whataboutery to see what is or isn't genocide denial or Zionism will be treated as a violation of this rule. Don't test us.

3. Stay CivilPlease maintain civil discourse in the community. Do not engage in arguments with others, name-calling, or insults. Note that calling out bigotry or Zionism is not considered an insult. In heated arguments users are encouraged to or even required to disengage failure to do so will result in mod action.

4. No MisinformationSpreading of misinformation intentionally in this community is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Spreading misinformation hurts the credibility of the community and can mislead people sometimes in dangerous ways. Users who intentionally post misinformation as articles, comment answers, or in attempt to win arguments will be actioned swiftly.

Note: This includes Russian and Chinese propaganda. Users with a history of such posting will be banned on sight.

5. No AI ContentPlease do not post articles or content primarily created using generative AI. Generative AI content may contain misinformation or be lower quality and thus is discouraged. Posts and comments featuring it will be removed. However this community does not allow or tolerate Anti-AI trolling or hostility and users who engage in such behavior will be actioned for it, additionally Anti-AI trolling violates Rule 3 and often Rule 4 so it is generally unacceptable already.


Note: Rules 1 & 2 may be subject to preemptive mod action due to their severity, and they apply to a user's entire post history. Not just this community.

Hopefully someone is able to torch those vans and escape. Kill those who would oppress you.

Why are British elites so much into surveillance technologies and why are British people so tolerant of them? Like, this isn't the norm in other western countries, they're always the outlier.

I mean, if the vans use petrol, thats more reason to burn them down

Im afraid we're going to have a bitter sectarian feud about ignition sources and the utility of burning the outside of the hypothetical vehicle.

So which of us is gonna gradually drift off, and become.. . i dunno, a complete terf or something (it's fine, doesn't actually matter if either if us is), and collect an increasingly large following that goes to our heads? I'm not so great with cognitive dissonsnce, would you be willing to take that one? I kind if like vicious but mostly shallow personal attacks. I kind of like writing that kind of thing, but i can do something else if you like, especially if you're taking the obligatory terf-derangement-spiral faction.

why? what’s the point of causing drama for no reason?

[–] outhouseperilous@lemmy.dbzer0.com -3 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Im sorry, i don't understand. Why are you gaslighting me like this? Um, preferring external ignition source, it's actually (Im going to assume you identify she/her from your username but im willing to correct this, sorry if you're just finding out out you're a trans woman; shark may or may not be in the mail) uh, because of the celestial sky penis who gives you orders, and i have the numerology to prove it.

Tap for spoilerOh my god that was so good! Going for post-whatever gaslighting! Brilliant! Shit but that means i have to be the terf doesnt it? Well played though, gotta admire the rhetorical game.

wowww, now i’m gaslighting you because I don’t wanna be a part of fuel drama?, fucking pathetic
