Every time I walk past that stretch near Pike and 3rd in Seattle, right over that bit of concrete where the nazi got laid the fuck out, I punch the air. Every time.

Imgurians are an odd bunch but I'm glad they're anti Nazi.

No wonder. Some rich guy must have got very upset. Strange though, plenty of people get punched all the time, and there are plenty more GIFs people getting punched. Banning specifically the Nazi guy getting punched isn't good PR I think...

It just amazes me how to doing the Nazi salute, uniforms and speech’s are entirely okay now. However, being against it gets you banned.

The world has gone a full circle and we are back to the days were fascism, hatred and all that is okay. Unfortunately.

You mean Charlie Kirk getting shot in the neck?

The one that gets its tooth knocked out?

Man I love that clip, you can live vicariously through it for a second.

imgbox is the way to go

Yeah and the community does not understand what it means to protect your audience from certain content. Violence is violence. At this point it does not matter who is who. But the community just had too much lead in the water and is unable to form their own thoughts, thus just follow the other sheep.

That video always makes me uncomfortable because I dont know the actual context. Maybe he was in Halloween fancy dress?

Yes fuck nazis, but I dont know in my bones the person deserved it.

"wait wait, this isn't as bad as it looks, there's a subtle context here that..."
-POW-

He did not visualize that coming.

He tried a jedi force trick to stop the punch. And failed.

Have you ever lived if you never have punched a Nazi?

richard b spencer is an a-hole. seriously!

if you have a time machine, please prevent that red scare and also encourage any socialists/communists to express themselves. seriously!

should've been ran out of town on a rail like homer stokes in the 2000 film "o brother where art thou". seriously!

if this were a socialist country, whoever got punched would've been in jail, and the person doing the punching would probably serve in the red army, working to protect the proletariat. seriously!

Nazis and other supremists are the reason intolerance needs to exist.

They are becoming so by way of people not doing anything about it, and literally voting them into power.

I'm really waiting for this idea to catch on. I got online in the late 80s to get away from normies and their boring, repetitive normie mind-viruses. Back then it was just nerds talking to other nerds. Nowadays you can't even talk to your friends here. This whole thing is for people to get angry about politics and buy products. The sooner all these people leave, the sooner we can get back to what originally brought us here.

Hopefully soon, going on social media will be seen as a bad antisocial habit like smoking.

Idiots weren't ready for the internet.

If people would get out of walled garden bot ridden bullshit, the internet could be great.

What non nerds use today is not internet. I like to call it Corpo-Net. Because these people never venture outside their billionaire facist websites.

Get the fuck off Twitter, get the fuck off Reddit, get the fuck off Facebook.

I mean, way ahead of you. But we're just jerking each other off if we think saying this downthread of a Lemmy post is changing anyone's mind. This is the most Preaching To The Choir ass post you can make outside of an actual church.

We weren’t ready for the internet and it’s time to turn it off.

eye-roll

Listen, if you want to walk around downtown with a big sandwich board that says "Log The Fuck Off And Touch Grass", I'll cheer for you when I see you. But there's a reason people flock to an easily accessible portal for social engagement. And its naive to keep shouting "Log the fuck off!" from within the medium you can't seem to quit yourself.

I mean they got to power using those things so I'm not sure just handing over that sphere of influence is the best strategy.

we need a more leftist alternative to facebook. seriously!

We weren't ready for the internet and it's time to turn it off.

Did you write all that on the internet? Or did you scrawl it in ballpoint pen in the back of a book you're reading?

And it all comes full circle

(For those who don't know, Imgur was invented by a user on reddit sick of the other image hosting sites until it eventually became what it was meant to replace)

Out of curiosity, why build your own when CopyParty exists? Spin it up in Docker and call it a day.

That tasty gif never gets old.

Boom! Knocked the fuck out.

I was not prepared for that dopamine. Thank you good cryptid

This video with sound is like my emotional support video 🥰 my ASMR is the sound of Nazis being punched

Site address?

People talk of Imgur being a leftist echo chamber. I have had more than enough neoliberal types on there argue about the benefits of capitalism to me or that we shouldn't have worker solidarity. I feel when these events happen, it's part legitimately pissed of users but a lot of people just riding the up vote wagon.

Whaa??

🌽🍿🌽🍿🌽🍿

Imgur has been pretty shit at hosting images for other sites for about a decade because it's trying very hard to keep people captive on its site. They added ways to prevent hotlinking and if I paste an imgur link in a chat, starting with i., supposedly a direct link to the image, the preview will not work and the page the link sends to will always open their whole site around that image. They really really want people to stay on there, and interact, or watch ads. AFAIK they have made that change about a decade ago as they wanted to monetize.

At least there won't be bots with Captcha

My neighbor uses Imgur as his main social media. I take that with a grain of salt though since he's a millenial who only used flip phones til 2022, there are dozens like him, dozens!

I used it that way for years. It's better for memes than fediverse or Reddit, except for two things: 1 occasionally the user base freaks the fuck out and starts spamming the same thing, like this. I don't like Nazis, but that also means I don't want literally everything on my funny picture site to be about keeping them out. 2 increasingly all the popular stuff isn't memes at all, but shitting on trump and musk. See point 1.

Then they blocked the UK because they didn't want to put an age field on their registration form (note this is not to do with age verification)

Hosting is half of it, but the user-submitted section is a thriving social ecosystem. It's a lot like reddit or Lemmy, but all submissions are image-based only with sizable comment sections attached like anywhere else. I was very involved there 12 years back and enjoyed it quite a lot. I tried really hard to earn my green (highest karma) badge, but I believe I got second or third highest before running out of steam. You had a profile full of badges and stuff, and users actually valued karma there, unlike on reddit or Lemmy.

But the mood changed other time and it became a hub for bullshit, sob stories and very tired, very played-out jokes. Then the eventual UI changes drove the nail in the coffin and I found it unusable.

Who?

Great thread for adding to your blocklist.

Remove the "ympathizers" and the space before

Nazi sympathizers are Nazis

To be fair, they do make a good drinks (jagermeister)

I'd say it all started in the late 1960s with Nixon's implementation of the southern strategy. What we're seeing today is the resultant avalanche of American fascism, appropriately composed of fragile white snowflakes.

Yep I split my time between Lemmy and Imgur to fill the void after leaving reddit, cause Lemmy alone unfortunately isn't enough to show you everything there was to see on reddit.

That said, be warned that it's corporate owners have no problems with collecting as much data as they can off your phone and selling it to anyone who's buying. Just look at this shit:

So if you do decide to go there, do yourself a favor and wear a condom. Install DuckDuckGo and enable "app tracking protection", and get a DNS-level adblocker on your phone as well. AdGuard or NextDNS are both fine choices.

Wait how do you use imgur besides posting images

are you proud of that comment, cos I am

It is a symbol used to intend that races are not equal.

Not a chance.

Yes

One of the reasons I left, they were banning accounts that posted the nazi asshat getting punched. It was also broadly pro Ukraine, and apparently Ukraine was geolocked from imgur, but not russia

PS. I couldn't find a cleaner, high res. version and pictoline.com (listed there at the source) only has it in spanish. To make things even worse, there are many edited versions that replace nazis with other ideologies :/ f* the volatility of the internet... Oh. gotta search the internet archive... yeah, nope... not there either. Anyone can find a better version or knows the original source to this? else shall we try upscaling this JPG?

I remember they made a statement about it and I think they stopped.

Explain please. All the ones I see in the image are shaped like four adjoined letter L's which is the same way around that the Nazis used. Or are you referring to the fact that most of them aren't stood on a corner, diamond-wise?

see it's interesting to me because I thought it was the way it looks like it should spin that matters, with the Buddhist one looking like it should spin clockwise and the Nazi one looking like it should spin counter clockwise. Is it the 45 degree tilt that makes the big difference?

People are still using reddit and Twitter, of course they're still using imgur.

Imgur also has an interesting niche that isn't covered by alternatives yet.

It's the city-code for Hamburg "Hansestadt Hamburg -> HH".

Wild. I saw a car here in California just the other day with an odd looking plate on some old dude's hotrod that had a little "HH" off to one side that, here, just means it's a historical vehicle used in classic car shows.

Let's call a spade a spade. It's Nazism.

yes

???

a company has no moral guiding principals outside of monetary gain. its board of directors members may have their own individual viewpoints, but as a collective, a corporation is representative only of the shareholder's shared interest in making some money. if they wanted anything else, they would collectivize into another form.

generally speaking the best, i mean the best, you can expect from a BoD member is liberalism and all that entails. from a liberal perspective, pacifism is a virtue to be signaled, not an overall approach to the world with a goal of bringing about a just and fair society. liberals preaching non-violence don't really care if someone is preaching violence so long as they don't practice violence and the results of the preaching of violence remain unseen.

that's how you wind up with liberals saying that the founder of turning point usa did things the right way and denouncing someone doing exactly the things he said were good to do, but moreover, denouncing people who have trained in violence accessing that violence in self defense. in the fight between fascism and anything other than fascism, violence must be used to denounce fascism because it is the only language fascists speak. you can use non-violence to interact with other political positions. those are positions who do not practice solely violence. but fascism believes access to violence grants license to use that violence. you can only counter this belief by rendering it scared to show itself in public

dead Nazis are good Nazis

I wouldn't call this propaganda. Propaganda is done deliberately and this seems to be a popular sentiment. Even if it's a quirk of the algorithm (which I'm not sure these could be posted chronologically, imgur sometimes does that iirc) it's still not deliberate.

Why'd you start your comment with "heh" and end your comment with "sunshine"? Seemed creepy and condescending, and makes it seem like you feel that the backlash against Trump and White supremacy is just propaganda and not how people actually feel.

Or perhaps there are really a lot of people who really hate Nazis? Is that a far-fetched idea to you?

are you a sh*tlib?

That's a problem you should fix.

Well, if they wear the flag, display the Swastika, do the salute or go on about white supremacy, that's a pretty solid hint.

A Nazi is (originally) a particular brand of fascism, but much like champagne, it has become a generic term for the whole family of ideologies. The "ur-fascist" definition by Umberto Eco, who was witness to the fascist regime of Mussolini, highlights a few key traits if fascist ideology like a cult of tradition, emphasis on machismo and action over thought, obedience over independence, contempt for pacifism and weakness and populism that leverages frustrations, conspiracy theories and fears to rally its followers against some perceived enemy.

Not every trait is fascist on its own, but neither does some movement need to tick all boxes to be fascist. There's sure to be some grey area, but if you have people rushing to inflict violence on anyone looking differently, spurred on by a guy promising to restore some ambiguous past glory by blaming the economic and social troubles on foreigners and beating the war drums... yeah, well, eventually the indicators start piling up.

Wikipedia would probably be a good start then.

are you a sh*tlib?

Because right-wing propaganda is "become Nazis, the left are all sub-humans" and the left wing propaganda is "what the fuck, the right are all Nazis!?"

It's hard to spot propaganda when it's just the truth spoken loudly.

I'm not american so excuse my ignorance but are you defending nazis?

Left wing propaganda is.... Being explicitly anti Nazi? Bro, I think you might be a Nazi if this offends you.

'The only good Nazi is a dead Nazi' isn't left-wing propaganda, it's what my grandfathers taught me. Those men were definitely not "Left-wing" lol!

What would you prefer for your new user tag, Offended by Anti-Nazi Memes or Swastika Fan?

Did somebody get theiw feewings huwt?

Fuck Nazis, I hope they all get the Nazi punched out of them.

Can you elaborate on your point? What is the propaganda here? Who are the foreign actors?

Being anti-Nazi isn't propaganda any more than being anti-genocide is propaganda. Being anti-Nazi and anti-genocide means you're a normal and reasonable person. I'll happily rebel against systems which are corrupt.

that's rich coming from a jackson hinkle supporter. seriously!
