President Trump’s executive order threatened to prosecute donors who support antifascist philosophy and issued a domestic terrorism designation that doesn’t exist under U.S. law.
There’s a word for anti-anti-fascist

Allow what? News articles about it? Sure, it was before my time on Lemmy, but when Trump goons were illegally black bagging people in Portland, stories like that would be allowed:

An action which was blatantly illegal on the face of it, but got WORSE when people figured out that the guy behind it, Chad Wolf (not a made up name), was himself SERVING illegally.

What Lemmy will not allow is promoting or organizing violence. If you want a rebellion, this is not the place to talk about it. In fact, you shouldn’t be talking about it online AT ALL. It’s not secure, too easy to track, too easy to subpoena, etc.
We won’t allow the inevitable headline of “the deceased terroists organized on a platform called ‘Lemmy’.”
It was bad enough when one of our mods blew up a fertility clinic.

I mean comments that are anti-fascist, not just news articles about topics considered by many of us to be about fascism.
Let’s consider trump’s ability to do stuff regardless of how a judge denies him. Then let’s imagine a world in the very near future where Trump goes full-McCarthy and people are detained just on suspicion of being or associating with “antifa.”
Now, if I post a comment such as, “I am antifa and I support overthrowing of the fascist US government”
Will you or will you not remove that comment?
Supporting overthrowing the government would be a call to violence and would be removed as above.
Do not call for violence on the Lemmy platform.
Call for new elections? Absolutely. Call for impeachment and removal from office? +1 Would upvote again. Arrests, prosecutions, and prison time? Yup, yup, yup. “RICO Act”? At least buy me a drink first.
Do not call for violent acts.
That’s how we got 1/6.
I didn’t call for violence. I called to overthrow the fascist government.
Voting, arresting, impeaching, are all things that don’t happen with a fascist government, so calling for those by name is a waste of time.
You can’t overthrow a government non-violently.
See the last real attempt in Myanmar:

Even having control over the military, it was still violent. Now imagine opposing the military.
I feel like you’re not really answering the question because you know the moment .world cracks down, you will obey and remove all content that could be considered antifa.
Anything that is non violent is absolutely fine, always has been.
