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!

Even when that imaginery friend is making them kill everyone else? It's not the trans, degenerate people doing the genocides, it's the moral religious people. We can't keep playing along with these people imaginations.
In 2025, yes, but like let's not pretend secular liberals and communist anti-thiests don't have their fair share of genocides. The proposal that religion especially encourages evil is historically ignorant.
Which is why the Greeks are still committing genocides now that we've all accepted that it's a mythology. Same goes for the vikings, now that we've accepted that as a mythology. It's Almost like there's a pattern here.
Uh... yes?
Vikings aren't doing shit because they don't exist anymore; you'll see plenty of abhorrent behavior from later Scandinavians, especially related to colonialism.
Besides, you say "still" but when was genocide a common aspect of Greek or Nordic society?
You get that a lot of Neo Nazi white supremacists are hella into Norse religion right? There’s a reason someone listing “Asatru” on a dating profile is very sus.
You're kinda proving my point. The ones who still follow it are the sus ones.
...
What?
If a gallon of milk is past the expiration date, do you throw out all the food in your home?
Or so you realize that instead of all food being bad, it's just rotten food?
I'm not saying we should kill all religious people. The fridge is broken. Stop putting new milk in it.
...
So leave the rest of the food in the broken fridge?
Like, I understand you're trying to disagree with me, but your updated version of the analogy has the same takeaway:
Did I just woosh and you are agreeing with me intentionally?
