Yes, that's a real problem, when some people carelessly throw around "nazi" as a generalized slur against bigots. It's tactless and does trivialise the specific threats that neo-nazis pose, as opposed to the different threats posed by those more imminently harmful politicians (Gina et al is involved in policy making, just indirectly).
We, all of us, need to use more specific ways to describe politics than "nazi commie fascist liberal" buzzwords, because real neo-nazis love to utilise the overuse of "nazi" as cover - if someone who is clearly contradictory to Nazism is called a Nazi and experiences that non-Nazis are called Nazis by "the left", then actual self-identifying neo-Nazis will exploit this and say "yes, pink-hair SJWs also called all these normal people Nazis too!" when they're talking about actual crypto-fascists promoting actual neo-Nazi ideology. As part of this tactic, they also like to exaggerate how common this phenomenon is through memes/social media, but it does happen.
But with all that said, it's not a tough one for me. Someone being legally charged for that is ridiculous, and it's very clear in context that they are not promoting or glorifying neo-nazi ideology or its persecution. If we charged everyone who used political symbolism poorly, the entire continent would have to be a prison colony again. They're being harassed for insulting certain politicians, and whether the charge is technically legal or not doesn't change this.
Today, if you’re a bad dancer, you could be filmed without your knowledge or permission, and become a viral sensation for millions of people to see.
Eh, to be honest, I don't see why I should care what internet dwellers have to say about me. I don't live on (mainstream) social media and it's not like I'm doing anything harmful. I cared too much in my teen years and hit the elderly-tier 'idgaf' phase early in response.
Someone below mentioned bullying, and that is a real problem, but really, bullies (as opposed to casual trivial banter) don't have many entries into my life now that I don't have to sit in a classroom every day.
For companies that repeatedly breach, criminal prosecution of the people doing so is probably better than fines.
Absolutely. A pharma company had a representative (either C-level or legal) say in court something like "just give us the fine, we can afford it". I suspect these companies have that kind of money.
I have almost zero doubt that it will be after fabricating some sort of nonsense casus belli that gives them a veneer of legitimacy.
The People's Republic of China already take the official position that the Chinese Civil War is an ongoing conflict. And while I haven't looked much into the Republic of China (Taiwan) position on the ground, taking their constitution at face value, they officially claim mainland China is their territory. So I don't think the casus belli will be a problem, at least internally.
That string of attacks was determined to be a hoax, but I don't know where that claim of Jews is coming from. Police claim the fake caravan bomb plot "was concocted by criminals who wanted to cause fear for personal benefit" so members could hand over evidence or information to reduce their prison sentences[1]. The named key suspects are associated with the Nomad bikie gang and included Sayed Moosawi (Arabic names) and Sayet Erhan Akca (Turkish surname and believed fled to Turkey, so I assume they're most likely Turkish). Again, this was determined to be a criminal plot for their own benefit, not a real political act of antisemitism.
So unless I missed some announcement about these, I don't think Zionists or other Jews were behind that hoax. But I am wary that staged false flag attacks are a realistic possibility and we should not jump to conclusions.
I can't see it over there, I assume this whole reply chain doesn't get federated to them because I started it. But I don't know how mentions work so I'm curious too.
Some fake vote manipulation instances were spun up last month and apparently I'd downvoted some of the same posts that were getting brigaded (see Quokka's reply) so a lemmy.world admin jumped the gun and banned me for "Vote manipulation". I haven't had the time to bother appealing the ban since I didn't post to there often anyway, but I didn't realise that a few of their users post here and wouldn't see my replies so I'll send .world a message about it tomorrow or so.
I'd be fine with mandatory SES training.
