Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Section 4, part a, subsection i:
[D]etermine whether, since January 1, 2020, public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties within the Department of the Interior’s jurisdiction have been removed or changed to perpetuate a false reconstruction of American history, inappropriately minimize the value of certain historical events or figures, or include any other improper partisan ideology;
This is specifically attempting to restore the effigies of slaveowners and their defenders that were taken down during and after the George Floyd protests. Hopefully most of those weren't on federal property and those that were got properly disposed of. Its a fairly small thing in the grand scheme of things, and certainly not the worst thing in the EO. However it would be nice to have fewer monuments that push the myth of the lost cause of the confederacy.
(iii) take action, as appropriate and consistent with applicable law, to ensure that all public monuments, memorials, statues, markers, or similar properties within the Department of the Interior’s jurisdiction do not contain descriptions, depictions, or other content that inappropriately disparage Americans past or living (including persons living in colonial times), and instead focus on the greatness of the achievements and progress of the American people or, with respect to natural features, the beauty, abundance, and grandeur of the American landscape.
Malicious compliance: Say horrible things on plaques related to Confederate figures under the argument that as rebels and secessionists, they weren’t actually Americans.
looking forward to the new Smithsonian exhibit: "Slavery didn't happen, and if it did it benefitted the slaves and hurt whites." Curated by Dr. Blert Vander Honk, PhD in Philosophy of Christian History from the Coeur d'Alene Bible & Tire College's Conservatory of Eugenics.
"slavery was invented by muslims. the kindly whites, out of the goodness of their hearts, took mercy on african slaves, already enslaved by muslims and other africans mind you, and treated them to a free intercontinental voyage, and then free food and free lodging at the whites' expense, then immediately, barely two centuries later, abolished slavery"

What's Stefan Molyneux been up to these days? We could hire him to curate it.
Last I knew he was praising Icelandic social norms and crediting their success with the fact that they’re ethnically homogenous
What if 
was liberal democracy the whole time 
Republicans are fucking weird
