A site which seeks to signal-boost neo-Nazism – an ideology that fundamentally hurts society’s most vulnerable people as fuel for power consolidation – is thoroughly antithetical to veganism and to its mission to exclude all forms of cruelty to animals – which humans are – for any purpose. Thus, links to and screenshots of this site will not be platformed on /c/vegan. I keep a personal rule that enforcing rules ex post facto is wrong except in extreme circumstances where a major oversight has allowed something clearly heinous or a loophole has been deliberately exploited, and thus I’m putting this here now. I have not brought this up with the other moderators, but this seems uncontroversial, especially among people who seek to give a voice to the voiceless. This goes for any other site where neo-Nazism and its component hateful ideolgoies such as racism and homophobia are deliberately, obviously, and systematically normalized.

Edit: A user asked about screenshots, and having thought a lot on it just to consider other viewpoints, I’m resolute that sharing screenshots causes the exact same problems that sharing links does. Thus, this post is now about links and screenshots.

    Responding to “nazis are bad” with a whataboutism… says a lot about anti-socialists.

    Is it really that hard to agree that nazi-ism is bad?

        White people also caused all of those things in the past. That doesn’t mean white people inherently do those things. The vast majority of school shooters are straight white men, too, but that doesn’t mean all straight white men are school shooters.

        The USSR was an authoritarian regime. Do you seriously not see that as a bigger issue, and more importantly the cause of all of the things you listed, than the workers owning the means of production???

        Authoritarianism is antithetical to communism no matter how you slice it. It’s also curious that you’re still running defense for nazi-ism.

        When the Communists have an election-interfering, hate-mongering, billionaire-backed, world-spanning social media company, then we can talk. Right now we are dealing with the Nazis at the gate.
