Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.

Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.

Example:

  1. Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
  2. Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
  4. Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
  5. No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

That's all the rules!

“inclusive, immigrationist, eco-sustainable, and gay-friendly.”

Sustainability is definitely the thing I’d hate most. I mean, why save the planet and thus ourselves?

This week, he shared an X post from Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene in which the MAGA congresswoman asserted: “The Covid vaccines are killing people.”

It’s well-established that everyone who got the vax is dead, including me, so this tracks.

He’s also won the praise of Donald Trump. In 2020, Vigano wrote a letter to the then-president in which he linked COVID restrictions and Black Lives Matter protests as the work of “the children of darkness.”

Dude is going hard on the racism.

You know what? I don’t think I like him.

I got the boosters so I'm extra-super dead

Yep, got vaccinated twice and am typing this from beyond the grave.

Everyone, every single person who got the covid vaccine is going to die.

Eventually.

Please feel free to use that line if you ever find an opportunity.

Me too, I got vaccinated twice and I died both times.

Good thing you still have 7 lives left.

Children of Darkness sounds metal as hell. I say we claim it

[–] [email protected] 1 points 4 months ago

Ok, but if this is racist's about skin color I would def say that northern ppl are children of darkness and equator-ish ppl children of light.

Also Europes north is full of metal bands, so that tracks too.

And there was at least one metal band called that: https://www.metal-archives.com/bands/Children_of_Darkness/112161

However, if I didn't have the racist context, I would def think its nocturnal people (which I guess includes vampires, but they are a minority).
