Ugh, another three percentage points more for Chega 😓

And the conversative government is not going to improve the housing problem, which is afaik the main reason why people vote for Chega, immigration is only a secondary reason.

No, a good example would have been the Frelimo fight against the Portuguese colonialists in Mozambique that resulted in a declaration of independence and the creation of a new state.

The example of Zimbabwe is is somewhere between that and the relatively reformist transition in South Africa, as Rhodesia (in agreement with their government) briefly reverted to being a British colony on paper to conduct elections which the previous rebel forces won and then formally declared independence from the UK.

I find it highly slanderous to be labled a “Rhodesia lover” for simply stating historical facts. Rhodesia was a racist apartheit state I am absolutly opposed to.

Please stop lying. I never defend Rhodesia in any shape or form. I simply stated that afaik Zimbabwe is considered the successor state by international law and shared some historical facts that you can also read up on the Wikipedia or any history book.

No, the rules here do not suppress such differing opinions as long as they don’t advocate for genocide (or could be easily misinterpreted as such by the german police).

I personally agree that the German government has gone far beyond what would be reasonable in that regard, but feddit.org is not the German government. They simply try to find a minimal set of rules that do not directly endanger them of police raids in Germany and otherwise these are basic rules of respecting human rights.

If you openly endorse such bordering on genocidal positions then no, that would be very likely also a bannable offense.

If you endorse or deny the current ethnic clensing done by the Israelis you will very likely also get banned for that, yes.

Down votes are public on Lemmy, and your account alone did enough harrassment, but yes I am pretty sure you also have at least two sock puppet accounts you also use to harrass people.

Get a life, you are embarrassing yourself 🤷

Great, so why the big ruckus if you think so?

Nothing stops people from participating on feddit.org communities if they don’t use thinly veiled dogwistles for such or endorse organisations that call for ethnic clensing like Hamas and use slogans popularized by them.

Not relativising or denying the holocaust is hopefully a given, but it seems some people from other instances are also not so clear on that.

The down-vote and reply pattern is clear 🤷

They have been following me around on Lemmy the last couple of hours and called me a fascist and liar among many other falsehoods 🤷

You might not considers the slogan as such, but there are many other organized groups that do (like Hamas), and thus assuming it is commonly meant as such is not unreasonable. Maybe try to look outside of your bubble a bit and see who else is using the same slogans as you.

I find the restrictions relatively reasonable, and in my circle of radical leftists outside of Germany (I don’t live in Germany), it is really rare that anyone would run into issues with those rules. Of course I am highly against the police raiding homes in reaction to such kind of speech, but this is the reality in Germany that I can’t change.

If it is normal in your personal circle to advocate for the expulsion of an entire group of people from a territory they have lived on all their life or to make comments relativising the holocaust, I strongly recommend you look for less shitty friends. And if you don’t see how that relates to the rules in question you need to seriously educate yourself about the fucked up situation in the middle-east.

You can try to troll me with such entirely false accusations, but I can sleep well with my stance to be against all forms of genocide and zero tolerance on hate-speech. If you choose to be a campist that’s on you 🤷

As you say youself, there is a difference between arguing for equal rights of Palestinians and the expulsion of Jews from the territory that makes up modern day Israel.

The German government has decided that certain slogans commonly used by Arab antisemites are (criminally liable) dogwhistles for calling for a genocide on Jews in Israel. I wish they would apply more nuance but I can see where they are coming from.

I see no reason to move instances as it is absolutely allowed to discuss what is happening in Gaza and Israel here (in so far as there is a direct relation to Europe). The restrictions are basically that two wrongs don’t make a right (or many more wrongs in this case), and it is a bit sad that we were forced to explicitly spell it out to make people aware that any genocide is wrong, not only the one that is currently happening.

Don’t believe all the fake drama 🤷

Where did I say posts about the middle-east are not allowed here if they are in relation to Europe? They are allowed and we do not remove them as off-topic.

But this topic is only a very minor topic for this community which is primarily about EU domestic news and such topics, so when creating this community there was absolutly no reason to avoid feddit.org as the hosting instance over legal concerns specifically related to the state of Israel.

Criticism of it is explicitly allowed as by the above mentioned rules 🙄

If this was a community specifically about the middle-east I would agree with you that it would have been unwise to host it on feddit.org due to the legal situation affecting its admins and some of the moderators here.

But it is not, and generally speaking Germany is not an autocratic state with severe repression of political activism, so for most topics it is a better place to host communities that might involve such.
