Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Yeah, why do you think I advocated for an armed resistance? Because if it has to come to violence-- and I say, if--then I am unapologetically accelerationist with respect to this. It's in human nature to "get out it of your system". You can't vote away fascism and they are not going away that easily (it will take a miracle for that to happen). Fascism did not come from a vaccum, it came from the pent up anger and that Pandora's box has been opened.
Arendt's view of Zionism doesn't matter to this, it's her research and observation on the undertaking of the Holocaust that would make someone think "yeah, the Nazis wasted so much resources killing people who could have otherwise helped them if the Nazis actually think". Because that's what Nazis are, they don't think. Germany actually was on a brink of another economic collapse but Hitler invaded Poland to use the plunder to stave off that impending collapse. Heck, they did not even have enough resources to actually wage a war and Hitler was shock that the Allies declared war on them. Many Nazi officials after the war admitted that had the French pressed on with their offensive in Saar in 1939, the war could have ended quickly and saved millions. Because Germany actually only had enough resources to last them weeks at the start of the war.
No, it's not. It's precisely the "moderates" love of money and the elitist dismissal of the socioeconomic anxiety of the working class that led to where we are. The American political establishment had one chance to fix the underlying issue that led to Trump in the first place. And yet, the neoliberals did the exact same errors that led to Trump yet again for the second time.
