A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
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.

[...] he made a gesture that drew online comparisons to a Nazi salute [...]
Why is the popular media so scared to call a Nazi a Nazi? He did a Nazi salute. It wasn't just a gesture that drew comparisons from the internet. It was a Nazi salute, clearly done with intent.
Seems like being a little piss-boy is not related to age..
Be proud and stop keep dwelling on past sins, you know the sins I am talking about right?
Their parents sin was not being harsh enough on a fresh crop of Nazis, so yes let's go beyond and finish the job
To be fair, most of Germany's current crop of Nazis are more like the grandchildren or great grandchildren of the original Nazis. The AfD isn't actually that popular with the older generations. They've got the strongest support from Gen X. Grannys against the Right (Omas gegen Rechts) is probably the largest antifascist movement currently active in Germany.
How long until Germany issues an arrest warrant?
They can do it right now. Enforcement would be a problem in the US but at least he wouldn't be able to fly to the EU. I think the gigafactory is what's stopping it from going through.
The factory doesn't need to be a reason. Someone else would fly there instead of him and he'd just do remote. That factory won't go away either way.
I think the bigger problem they'd be worried about is future investment in the EU
That's probably why, the richest man in the world who could easily hop on a private jet to Germany as easy as it is for me or you to walk down the street, only did a "video appearance"
I'm really surprised they haven't shot down any Starlink satellites in their airspace. Unidentified or not, Nazi flying objects are illegal in Germany.
Those satellites are whizzing around earth at 7 kilometers per second. Germans don’t even have the tech to shoot that down.
Satellites are above individual countries' airspace, and not many countries have the capability to destroy satellites. Not to mention, Ukraine is relying on starlink for their defence.
Also, destroying a satellite can deal a ton of collateral damage. Starlink isn’t high enough to create a true Kessler Syndrome, but it could still cause big problems.
Wouldn’t those problems end within a few months since it would all burn up in the atmosphere anyway.
And during those few months, that whole band around the earth is unusable by any country. If Germany wanted to do something that would hurt Elon, they could just take over their gigafactory and sell Tesla's with a VW logo on them or something.
Of course that would undermine the rule of law and a bunch of other things within Germany, so it's not exactly something that would be good in the long term.
"Move beyond the sins of your parents... Get out there and do some sin of your own, yeah-yuh!"
So we just gonna let this dude's Neo Nazi World Tour go off?
Come on, stop with that. It's not because he's made an """"odd gesture"""", repeatedly supported political figures from nazi-founded far-right parties, supported open neo-nazis just as much, xat nazi dogwhistles and other great replacement theories wherever he could that he's a nazi.
You have no proof of that.
Does my impersonation of a muskolini apologist sound ~~brain dead~~ genuine enough?
You forgot to mention that "he doesn't know what he's doing is wrong because he's autistic", but otherwise, yes.
If you're rich you can do whatever you want, apparently.
Luigi wouldn't stand for it. We need more Luigi's.
And as my good pal Ira said, Luigi only needs to be lucky once.
There should be a louigi tracker. I feel like somebody should have have something we can all watch like people tracked covid back in the day. It just seems the odds of people getting louigi'd is just going to keep rising so it may as well get tracked.
How could the wealthy be tracked though? They don't move around the same way even rich people do, they're in a whole different world.
I was not meaning tracking the wealthy, or ceos or anything like that. I was.meaning more like a keeping of stats and info about those that get liuigied.
Why not just stats and info on the best available methods of luigi-ing?
