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 other users of being bots or paid actors.

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.

Your people can't even come to terms with slavery. How can you even talk about the current situation without facing the fact that your country was founded on the enslavement of Africans and genocide of indigenous?
There is no fresh take. The fact that you claim there is one is on you.
Hitler modeled laws based on American jurisprudence, and you want to talk about the present?
Until American exceptionalism is no longer, the world isn't safe from You.
As expected, you believe this is a competition and you need a winner and a loser. Sarcasm doesn't work as a defense.
You want to fix things? Face the past as a nation and heal with those you oppress in your own country. After that, maybe the world will trust you again. How you get there is on you. As I see it, your country won't last another 100 days of this, let alone a whole term.
But trump just allowed segregation again and is saving affricaners, so there is that. Tic Toc Tic Toc
Where is the Boston tea party of old? Where is the crossing of the Potomac? Where is John Brown? Where is the underground railroad? Where is the moon landing? Where is Iwo Jima?
All gone and replaced with a nation of mindless consumers wanting a quick fix to shelter them from the reality they have created onto themselves from years of tyranny, exploitation, and oppression of others.
The Empire is dead, long live the Empire.
