feddit.org's Zionist bar problem: community ban(s) vote

"you should be lined up against a wall and shot"

"Kill yourself"

It blows my mind how this type of speech is being used by the op as proof that they're on the right side of things. This is so wack that some part of me wants to believe this is some kind of social experiment to find out how far you can push people on social media until they push back against the echo chamber.

But I doubt it is. It seems more likely that this mod is leveraging his position to instrumentalize this community and shape it after his own vision of political activism. All under a laughable guise of democracy. Every single vote on this instance has been presented in a biased and manipulative way that leaves no doubt what the outcome "should" be. How very democratic of you. Slow clap.

Hey, unruffled: your attempts at social engineering and radicalization are ham-fisted and painful to watch.

I initially joined db0 because it seemed like one of the more heterogenous communities on Lemmy. That there was no clear label that comes with the db0 tag like "the tankie" (hexbear) or "the normie" (world). That it had the shortest list of defederations in comparison with the other bigger instances.

Over the past few months this has changed. There has been a shift towards echo chamber, armchair revolution and increasingly more hateful language. Give it three more votes and you'll be voting in favor of roasting babies on a stick. Because free Palestine, or Zionism, or something. SMH.

I don't like being told what to think about a certain topic. Even when that view aligns with my own. And before the mob frothing at the mouth charges at me - yes I'm German and yes, free Palestine and down with Israel (preferably with not a single additional life lost).

For all instance members reading this:

"Don't worry you'll get the wall"

Do you want to be associated with people who unironically spout this type of hatred? I don't. Bye, db0

It could happen here

While it is a good quote and true to some extent, it oversimplifies the situation of the population of Germany during the Nazi regime. It was not indifference that kept people who disagreed with Hitler quiet, it was terror. The Gestapo and SS were the most important factors that allowed Hitler to keep the population in check.

Ask yourself, would you speak up against Nazis in a mostly democratic country we live in today? Without doubt I assume. Would you speak up if it means that the next day uniformed men come knocking at your door and you and your entire family disappears, like it happened to the Schmids 2 Houses down the road?

The main threat is military -like groups who have the authority to quiet dissidents and spread fear.

Fitgirl repack? What exactly is it?

The compression was already explained - I would add that if you're not deep into scene groups, popular repackers are in general a safe choice, i.e. no malware included. Of course it's never 100% safe, but in my opinion safer than picking from a list of torrents what could be the scene release.

I never had issues with fitgirl and Dodi, maybe other users can drop some more names that have proven to be reliable over a long time.

Bolivian court rules that former president Morales cannot seek re-election

Fair enough, rules are rules. The smear campaign to paint him as a power hungry authoritarian is infuriating. This man is one of the greatest leaders our sorry species has come up with and is in general loved by the people, mostly the indigenous population of Bolivia, though.

Read his speech to the UN and it should be obvious why he is often being targeted by international powers.
