Did someone delete your post or your comment? Was that bullshit? Make a post here, tag the people you were talking to if any, and continue.

You can also pre-emptively make a post here, if there is some community whose rules prohibit the thing you would like to say to someone, but you'd still like to be able to say it. This does not include personal insults or anything of that nature, only forbidden viewpoints or similar weird rules.

Community rules:

Having wrong viewpoints is fine
No flagrant cockery
Nothing illegal

Definitions are in my sole discretion. I'm pretty tolerant. That said, this isn't a "free speech zone," if you are posting racism or death threats, expect to get banned from here just as you would from most places.

Lemmy.ml mods don't like Graham Platner and are trying to imply he is a literal Nazi (media.piefed.social)

Still not sure how I feel about him, but if lemmy.ml and Chuck Schumer are both trying to smear him that seems like good indications.

No idea why this wasn't suitable for !meanwhileongrad@sh.itjust.works. it seems obviously to fall under the "general tankie behavior" category and/or the tankie folks trying to weigh in on American politics to depress support for progressive-ish candidates which they periodically do.

Anyway, whatever, it was removed there, and it's posted here now.

I'm sure there is room for a progressive candidate without a Nazi tattoo to run also. The platform seems really popular

In this case, the "positions" are "he is in any way a Nazi" vs "he is NOT in any way a Nazi," and the "next argument" is whether or not we can find anyone who isn't a Nazi in any way, instead. The frame is that having this tattoo means he's in any way a Nazi or that's relevant to this discussion.

(Watch the video for how "next argument" and "frame" line up within the propaganda technique. It's a very powerful method, it's especially effective in this type of online discussion.)
