Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
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.

MODERATORS
Every word uttered by a conservative is deception or manipulation. So there was never a reason to believe anything he had to say.
Typical Florida man- strung out meth head nazi living at home, making shit up.
More recently, McLellan’s claims have been exploited by US far-right media personalities, including former Donald Trump advisor Roger Stone and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who have used them to attack the Biden Administration and its policies supporting Ukraine. Stone exclaimed of the “Biggest Nazi Scandal in US History” in the leadup to Loomer appearing on his online show, where she claimed he was part of a secret US government conspiracy.
I guess when the pot is so black you just can't see it they can't help but call out the kettle.
That's just it. Nazis don't like black pots and kettles...
Nooo! Someone from the far-right lied! Say it ain't so! 😂
"Defuniak Springs was my personal Ukraine" he said on Fox tomorrow.
Funny thing is that neo Nazi's are their base to begin with and they use "Nazi's" as an excuse to stop funding for Ukraine so that they can shove their noses up Putin's ass, who pretty much is a neo Nazi at this point .
Sounds like stolen valor to me
It would be if nazis were capable of valor. This is just a lying Florida man who switched from bath salts to meth a few years back and tried to take it to the bank.
There seems to be a lot of Nazie's in Florida these days
Imagine this guy watching Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 2, sees all the Taserface jokes and he goes: "I don't get it, Taserface is a cool name."
Typical Nazi coward. Big mouth, no brain, no substance.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
More recently, McLellan’s claims have been exploited by US far-right media personalities, including former Donald Trump advisor Roger Stone and conspiracy theorist Laura Loomer, who have used them to attack the Biden Administration and its policies supporting Ukraine.
McLellan said he fought alongside the Azov Regiment during the siege of Mariupol, where tens of thousands of people were killed as Russian forces besieged and occupied the Ukrainian port city.
In a follow-up stream on 11 September, Pohlhaus said Blood Tribe, the neo-Nazi group he leads, no longer considers McLellan in “good standing.” Several far-right Ukrainian accounts on Telegram have also dismissed his claims.
The Florida Department of Corrections public offender network database states that McLellan was incarcerated from 25 March to 7 July 2010 and again from 18 April 2018 to 1 October 2020—in the former case for a property damage charge and in the latter for dealing methamphetamine.
Additionally, in messages to other Iron March users—including to Brandon Russell, the founder of notorious American neo-Nazi terrorist organisation Atomwaffen Division—McLellan shared his phone number which had a central Florida area code, 407.
In an August 2022 video from Russian media outlet Izvestia, McLellan speaks to a reporter about his apparent exploits in Ukraine, and flashes what he claims is his Azov identification card in a close-up to the camera.
The original article contains 2,340 words, the summary contains 219 words. Saved 91%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Paulhaus said Blood Tribe, the neo-Nazi group he leads, no longer considers him in good standing.
Well, at least they have ethics. Ethnics, maybe not. But ethics for sure.
most moderate Floridian
man somebody did a bunch of work to determine whether this guy was full of shit or not.. i'm wondering what the fuck difference it makes one way or the other, whether this chowder head has been anywhere.. why the fuck does anyone give a shit about any of his fucking claims to anything.. what does it matter to anyone.. fucking "far right circles" full of meth addled chowderheads, living in fantasy land all day.. understand fuck all about nothing but their own asses..
Roger Stone and Laura Loomer used this chucklefuck's testimony as "proof" that Ukrainians are all Nazis.
I do agree that not a single mind will be changed
One nazi claims to go to Ukraine: "see, it's full of Nazis!"
Tens of thousands of Nazis go to trump rallies: "it's just a few bad apples."
Funny thing is that neo Nazi's are their base to begin with and they use "Nazi's" as an excuse to stop funding for Ukraine so that they can shove their noses up Putin's ass, who pretty much is a neo Nazi at this point .
i don't give one shit about what's in their addled brains, or what Roger Stone had to say about one of their dumb asses
Roger Stone has his own Netlix doc where he openly admits to be a shit eating troll. No one should give him a fraction of their brain time.
He meant Ukraine, Florida, obviously.
