    I disagree. I think that it's interesting to compare Antifa with Nazism, as they both try to force their ideologies through similar tactics.

    The similarity is therefore not about the ideology, but how they are being implemented. I think that in that regard, the thread is legitimate.

    In other words, it's not offensive. It's a discussion which you seem to be emotionally invested. That does not render the discussion invalid.

    It wasn't made to troll, it was made to discuss. I'm sorry you don't like it, but nothing inflammatory about race, sex and/or religion was in the op.

    It's just an outright lie to say "Antifa are Nazis". Antifa is an abbreviation for "Anti fascist", which is the exact opposite of National Socialism. Antifa are far left or left. It is infact trolling, and no opinion.
    So what you are telling me is that North Korea is actually a Democratic Republic? Because DPRK stands for Democratic Peoples Republic of Korea?

    ASTOUNDING?!

But the whole "ooh, what he said offends me so HE MUST BE STOPPED AND PREVENTED FROM SAYING ANYTHING ELSE, YOU MUST REMOVE HIS POST IMMEDIATELY!!" is such a joke. What offends you most likely does not offend others. Your viewpoint is not the only viewpoint. You are not automatically right because you are offended.
    Lies to trigger negative replies is called trolling, and it is not the only forum rule the thread violates. But just continue to try to pretend it is about an alternative "opinion".

    I just repeat my sentence: A lie is no controversial opinion.

    Getting this upset over someones opinion, especially when you just think its some rando on an internet forum being wrong about his opinion which has no effect on anything in any capacity, nor will it ever do so, really says more about you than a need to get out the pitchforks and rile up a virtual lynch mob.

    This isn't tumblr. The ignore button exists for a reason.

    No, i actually tell you that "Antifa" is the complete opposite political spectrum of national socialism. Which is nothing but the truth. They are left wing extremists and no right wing extremists.

    This forum is a well known cancer pit for a reason.

    The shitty bait threads are that reason.

    You also fall for the idea a lie is an alternative opinion. No, it isnt.

    A lie is a lie, not an opinion, and also not the truth.

    Actually, this thread is about..

    1.) Discussing the idea a stereotype of the right wing named "Antifa" are infact "Nazis", which is triggering reactions only as it completely reverts the meaning of the term (AntiFa = abbreviation for Anti fascism)
    2.) The op is using conspiracy theories as arguments ("the press is not reporting about antifa at g20 because they are biased")
    3.) The thread is about politics, while being in the off topic forum
    4.) The thread title is meant as "click bait" by the author, who even says it itself
    5.) The thread uses youtube videos as "evidence"
    6.) The author just tried to trigger reactions. And he got reactions.

    The idea to call "Antifa" "Fascists" or "Nazis" is no opinion, it is nothing but an disinformed lie.

    My opinion: No, the political subforum and the offtopic forum dont need a lax moderation, but a strong moderation, due to the fact there are a ton of political trolls infesting these forums.
    They're flamebaits so report them as such.

    Well, people propagating enforcement of their world views with violence ARE fascists.

    Also, it's amazing how someone who believes that NatSoc is right wing accuses anyone of 'trolling'.

    Then let the op be wrong and move on with your day. You get way too hung up about some random video game polital sub forum.

    You might want to reconsider your other posts in here because they're clearly made to spite the OP and provoke a response. In your own words, you could've just ignored this thread if you didn't like it. Live as you preach.

    "Let them troll, why should anyone care?"

    What about the idea to get some level into the off topic and the political part to discuss interesting topics? And not "Bwah Sweden immigrants raped a gnome bwah bwah random youtube evidence inside blm antifa nazis!"-threads made by a weekend forums troll who had a bad day?

    If you dont apply strict moderation to a political offtopic forum, threads will become exactly as like the title i posted.

    This is a private website and they may enforce whatever rules they please, as they please, when they please and we have no say in it. So stop acting like a victim of censorship.

    ^^^This guy represents the exact point of the 'Antifa are Nazis' thread. Your approach for eliminating fascism is to use aggressive fascism and suppression of opinions/voices. And you literally can't see the hypocrisy that you practice. Essentially straight from the Rules for Radicals playbook.

    It usually takes a day or two for a mod to respond to a PM. But I've also brought up this issue of uneven moderating. Yesterday in fact. I do think they're too lenient and polite about the obvious baits.

    Nice try at what? You've clearly no intention of discussing this. You're here to provoke reactions. Your aggression and snark is completely unneeded and pointless and will serve you nothing but punishment.
