No such thing. Ask away!

!nostupidquestions is a community dedicated to being helpful and answering each others' questions on various topics.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must be legitimate questions. All post titles must include a question.

All posts must be legitimate questions, and all post titles must include a question. Questions that are joke or trolling questions, memes, song lyrics as title, etc. are not allowed here. See Rule 6 for all exceptions.



Rule 2- Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material.

Your question subject cannot be illegal or NSFW material. You will be warned first, banned second.



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Questions which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts and joke questions.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-question posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

On fridays, you are allowed to post meme and troll questions, on the condition that it's in text format only, and conforms with our other rules. These posts MUST include the [NSQ Friday] tag in their title.

If you post a serious question on friday and are looking only for legitimate answers, then please include the [Serious] tag on your post. Irrelevant replies will then be removed by moderators.



Rule 7- You can't intentionally annoy, mock, or harass other members.

If you intentionally annoy, mock, harass, or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

It's just the age-old cycle of bad losing to good losing to weak, losing to bad.

White supremacy and the nazi ideology are ass to ass. The only thing they didn’t share was their hatred for Jews but guess who domesticated that ideology? Neo-Nazis.

Blackshirts and Reds by Michael parenti explains it very thoroughly and gives great historical context.

It's because men with zuper tiny penis' need something to do, to prove how "manly" and "strong" they are.

The answer is simple. We are expanding the definition of, and redefining, Nazis. I'm familiar with the general ideology of the group & how we might classify thoughts as adjacent, but I don't see Republicans shoving Jews, homosexuals, special needs, and gypsies into concentration camps/gas chambers/ovens.

It's hard to draw lines. But I'm just going to shoot from the hip here & say, it seems to me like there's a group of people that wants not only all kinds of freedoms. But also recognition. Accolades. Worship. Dominance in the public space. Anyone that opposes this stupid agenda -yes, agenda- is a Nazi. So we equate Republicans & conservatives with murderous fuckheads that genocide entire groups of minorities. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Yep, it's the same picture, totally the same thing, your beliefs are correct & your so-called righteous indignation is justified. We call them all Nazis, historically the worst kind of people, which of course justifies any kind of hatred or violence in response.

Shoot Trump in the head. It's more than okay, we celebrate assassination attempts, because he's literally Cheeto Hitler. He's the death of duhmoocracy. Please kill Donald Trump. If he's elected, it's the end of the United States of America, there will be no more elections. He will be a dictator, he'll never leave, duhmoocracy will be gone forever. No more duhmoocracy. Whatever will happen to America...if we lose our precious duhmoocracy? 🤔🤔🤔🤔🤔

I want every American to analyze the situation, logically. Consider what is best for the United States. Getting back to the main discussion: look back at the Nazis in Nazi Germany & everything they did. Are genocidal German Nazis actually making a comeback? Or are we just...labeling everybody we don't like a Nazi & therefore (grossly, stupidly) expanding the definition of Nazi to conveniently demonize the other side?

Ah yes the side that calls me a pedophile (and just by sheer luck wants to give all sex offenders who commit crimes against children mind you). Great answer, both sides are obviously the same.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago (1 children)

....idk about your personal situation that is calling for labeling you a pedophile. I have a friend that technically qualifies for indecent exposure in public/sex offender, he needed to take a drunk piss at 1 AM, so in spirit I empathize. Common sense screams, more clarification is needed for sure.

Existing as a trans person. Literally nothing else.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago (2 children)

More context is needed. You existing as a trans person doesn't bother me at all, 0%. I have no interest in continuing debate if you are being persecuted for existing as a trans person.

I hate to be negative, but people have shown a propensity to dislike anyone not like them for thousands of years. Plain and simple. I think this situation can improve, but I doubt seriously, it will ever go away completely.

Well, right now, it's popular to be anti-zionist. And anti-zionists just aren't gate keeping the way they need to.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

It's because the word has entirely different meaning now than it did back then. The vast majority of people would struggle to name even one literal nazi that's still alive today. Instead we incorrectly use that term to describe people we don't like such as Trump and Elon.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

The meaning is exactly the same. The problem is that people are not aware of what the political motivations were for the Nazis. The Nazis were known for their blatant anti-semitism, but you need to look at the bigger picture about why there are comparisons between the Nazis, Trump and Elon. Most of the comparisons are quite accurate and the term "Nazi" is more than just a dirty word.

Mildly to your point, people use the word "Nazi" when they should actually be using the terms fascist or nationalist.

What's funny, is some members of the GOP are labeling themselves as nationalists when they have no idea what it actually means. (Trump and one of the Karen's have notably done that.)

Ever heard of a rematch?
