Facebook Inc. said it took down campaign posts and ads for President Trump, citing violations of the company’s policy against organized hate, as the social-media giant grapples with what content to allow on its platforms.

The ads, featuring a downward-pointing triangle, targeted antifa, describing the movement as “Dangerous MOBS of far-left groups.” The ads asked Trump supporters to back President Trump’s calls to designate antifa as a terrorist organization. The inverted red triangle is a marking Nazis used to designate political prisoners in concentration camps, according to the Anti-Defamation League.

A Facebook spokeswoman said the Trump campaign content had included a banned hate group’s symbol without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol.

“The inverted red triangle is a symbol used by Antifa, so it was included in an ad about Antifa,” Trump campaign spokesman Tim Murtaugh said.

Facebook’s action Thursday follows recent highly charged discussions among Facebook employees and civil-rights activists over a message Mr. Trump wrote calling recent protesters thugs and warned: “When the looting starts, the shooting starts.” Facebook took no action on that post, while Twitter Inc. shielded the same message from public view along with posting a label saying it glorified violence.

The ADL also says that the "OK" hand gesture is a symbol for White supremacists and that Pepe the Frog is a racist hate speech cartoon character. Fuck the ADL.

do you mean a nation state would create and control an american organization whos goals is to push discord, division and beat their competition?

see, a lot of things are seen under the race lens but really it's always just money and power. in this case, israel vs usa (and most western countries).

usa did stuff like that to other countries too (though i like to think with the general goal of making them more western-like for everyones benefit, for the most part)

They admit they are a Jewish Supremacist Organization. No Code words necessarily

https://www.adl.org/who-we-are/our-values

Our Jewish values inform our work and the change we seek in the world. These values also guide the strategy and tactics of all of our programs and activities globally, nationally and locally.

They're left-wing activists. There are plenty of gentile leftists doing the exact same thing. And there are Jews who tell the truth. Fuck the ADL, Jews are just people.

The worst thing is like SPLC. They'll search and search and search for that obscure little neo-Nazi skin head in his mother's basement.

A million Muslims screaming for the death of Jews and Israel? Meh, can't be bothered.

That's the ADL for you.

Notice all you want, but what’s your point? That all Jews are the same? That despite my entire family of Jewish trump supporters, the ADL shows that Jews are the problem?

Realistically, about half of Jews are conservative and the other half liberal.

So I’ll call out the “noticing” so long as you don’t explain why it’s relevant, and what should be done about it.

If you point it out what do you want to happen? Should we go after the Jews?

Peculiar that nearly all of our presidents were white... interesting... oh wait doesn’t mean shit just like your stupid ass comment.

The ADL says the following 2 digit numbers are hatespeech: 12,13,14,18,28,38,43,83,88.

Despite nearly everything being seen as hatespeech, the ADL does not include the red triangle in their hatespeech database.

LOL, they list "anti-antifa symbols" as hate symbols but NOT the antifa one itself or themselves, instead it says they "focus on directly confronting white supremacists", i.e., the "good guys"

Italians_Invented_2A 8 points ago +8 / -0

It's Orwellian speech.

Of course antifa is a hate symbol: they hate the Nazi, don't they? So it's a group that hates. Ergo, hate symbol.

"ACAB

ACAB stands for "All Cops Are Bastards" and is a slogan of long standing in the skinhead subculture. Because non-racist skinheads may use this acronym as well as racist skinheads, it should be carefully judged in the context in which it appears"

hmm must have missed the white supremacists in the hoards of blacks spray painting this all over Dallas last week. Maybe those are the non racist skinheads they refer to.

The ADL says the following 2 digit numbers are hatespeech: 12,13,14,18,28,38,43,83,88.

This is so absurd, the only possible explanation I can think of is that maybe each pairing represents initials of a Nazi (guessing from 88, which skinhead pinheads hail as the "Heil Hitler" symbol)

Ha ha ha, 14 the ADL!! Whatever that means.

If you want to see some Olympic level mental gymnastics, bring this up on any of the leftie subs. At the end of the day, I'm pretty sure people did lose their jobs over making the symbol. That's the dangerous thing about these folks, they redefine words and erase symbols. They want to destroy our heritage and culture.

Oh I know, just proves further what out of touch idiots there are over at the ADL.

They tried to take Pepe from the "normies" by creating all kinds or racist Pepe's. But it didn't work, the ADL believes it's a racist symbol though. The ADL is dumb as fuck.

I've read some leftists claiming that /pol/ did it ironically, the media took the bait, white supremacists thus adopted it, proving it really is a racist symbol now. :/ I thought it just proved that leftists, the media, and white supremacists were all just idiots.

So basically, whatever symbols, now matter how universal or innocuous, used by any Trump supporter or critic of the Left or Deep State, is "organized hate."

The ADL also says Israel should be a pure ethnostate and not let any refugee or unpure jew in. If you don't believe me: https://www.adl.org/resources/fact-sheets/response-to-common-inaccuracy-zionism-is-racism https://www.adl.org/news/media-watch/zionism-is-nothing-like-white-supremacy

Diversity and multiculturalism for thee, but not for me.

How about ethnostates for all?

For Israel.

For Germany.

For Mexico.

For Ghana.

For the USA.

Not talking about race, but ethnicity. Culture.

BlackVotesMatter 3 points ago +8 / -5

I even posted links for you... W/E

You're a bit slow so I'll help you: "The Code of Jewish Law clearly states that a child of a Jewish mother is Jewish, regardless of the father’s lineage (or whatever else may show up in a DNA test), while the child of a non-Jewish mother is not Jewish. Matrilineal descent has been a fundamental principle of Torah since the Jewish people came into existence."

I think Israel lets converts migrate but I'm not sure how it works in reality.

5
Italians_Invented_2A 5 points ago +6 / -1

Jews are a race. You can't just convert to Judaism.

Technically the race of what is commonly known as Jew would be Ashkenazi, but it's semantic. The point is, if you go to Israel they do a DNA test to see if you're Jewish.

Anyone can convert. ADL are disgusting and subversive but you're an idiot.

Well it's true the Nazis used the inverted triangle to mark political prisoners. What they failed to mention is it was an inverted pink triangle with no border used to identify lesbians and it has absolutely nothing to do with this inverted triangle.

Facebook, of course, was just looking for another excuse to censor Trump.

Geometry is not a nazi plot.

Although they used the inverted pink triangle to identify homosexuals they used the inverted red triangle to identify political opponents.

Sand313man 7 points ago +8 / -1

No.. there were different ones. The red one was used..

trump was fucking set up.. do you think it’s fucking him that draws and makes his add campaigns?

Antifa doesn’t even use this symbol. It’s the Nazi symbol for democratic socialists; anarchists and whatever else in concentration camps. The question you all should be asking is who is on trumps campaign team trying to sabotage trump. It’s their fucking job to know this shit.

When Nazis took the swastika, it meant peace or good luck.

Swastika comes from the Sanskrit svastika: "su" meaning "good," "asti" meaning "to be," and "ka" as a suffix.

In India, one can still see its uses.

Italians_Invented_2A 9 points ago +10 / -1

But the National-Socialist swastika is different, it's clockwise.

What they did copy is the gesture with the right arm stretched out. It's the Roman salute. Schoolchildren in America were doing it too before the war.

I can tell Facebook what real hate looks like, it's what they are doing to censor and silence every non-leftist voice and label everything they say as "hate speech".

Facebook is a disgusting blight on humanity that has alienated and driven the human race farther apart than we may ever know.

Facebook is a disgusting blight on humanity that has alienated and driven the human race farther apart than we may ever know.

Meanwhile the unblinking robot says with a straight face that connecting people is so important, he will disregard and overrule any objections over privacy or anything else in order to connect each person to as many others as possible.

His obsessive compulsion is to bring about the sacred collectivist dream of complete dissolution of what makes us human, our individuality, and to replace it with being just another cog in a machine whether we like it or not
