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 US politics and contain quality and original content. Social Media adjacent hosts like Substack are allowed, but ONLY if they tie back to a company/subsidiary. No personal or friend group blogs and no self-promotion. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and re-hosted 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 other users of being bots or paid actors.
  3. No memes, trolling, misinformation, or low-effort posts/comments (including reposts). If you see posts like this that anger you, do not engage. Report, block, and live a happier life than they do. Any slap-fight is subject to comment removals. Fights full of rule violations will result in temporary bans to cool off.
  4. No manipulating votes via bots or alt accounts; this will result in permanent bans. 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 an account ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be permanently banned.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules and use critical thinking when reading, posting, and commenting. Users that repeatedly have 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. The reason(s) behind moderator action(s) are publicly available through the Modlog.

That's all the rules!

I cannot even understand the reasoning of these people. I did not expect "consumption" to be a thing during my lifetime.

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 119 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Consumption? Check

Weird isolationist grifter president? Check

Anarchists? Hell check

The maga dipshits overshot 1950s and sent us back to 1901, strap in

Only thing different is the nazis are running the USA this time

[–] anarchrist@lemmy.dbzer0.com 42 points 2 years ago (3 children)

The Nazis got their ideas from looking at what America did to genocide the natives. Hell even the Spanish american war feels about to break out again because some loudmouth oligarchs seem hell bent on doing imperialism in 2025

[–] wide_eyed_stupid@lemmy.world 24 points 2 years ago

Don't forget Jim Crow. The Nazis got a lot of their segregation and eugenics crap from the U.S.

[–] halcyoncmdr@lemmy.world 14 points 2 years ago

Oh it predates the US. The Crusades eliminated massive numbers of people in the name of Christianity. There have been innumerable cullings through history based on ideas of righteousness, pureness, etc. just because the guys with the power want land.

[–] Seleni@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

They were then too.

Hell, lots of people in the US were in the Nazi camp all way up to WWII when we got to see that kind of regime in unfettered action.

McKinley was elected in 1897, seems like they’re approaching target

[–] thefluffiest@feddit.nl 3 points 2 years ago

They just love being consumers

John Green would like you to know that tuberculosis has never stopped being a thing, if you're counting the whole world.

But yes, it's ridiculous people are actively choosing to bring it back to somewhere it was no longer a thing
