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!

I don’t think lots of women peacefully walking around is “mobarchy”, or “enforcing obedience” or whatever stupid shit you’re saying.
In fact women peacefully protesting trumps misogyny sounds like the opposite.
Not sure why you’d characterize women disagreeing with trump saying “grab them by the pussy” like that.
@Beetschnapps Who TF said that was what I was talking about??
I was talking about the masses of people gathering to protest Trump's being president, after he'd been elected.
You do understand that there were, and are, multiple protest-factions asserting, at any given time?
And that each banner/"cause" actually has multiple factions fighting to own/possess the faction?
And that some are less, and others more, honest?
And that the ones who are more on the narcissist/machiavellian/sociopathy-psychopathy/nihilist-short-termist/sadist spectrums are more-likely to "be success" according to the rigged reality of "political process"??
Looking at humankind's action is essentially trying to see what's going-on through a drunk-making/drugged-making kaleidoscope.

What our unconscious-ignorance allows-us-to-see, isn't what's actually going-on.
It holds that political-process is more "real" than other things.
It ignores underlying-causes.
It *won't allow us* to be objective, unless we fight for decades against its undermining our integrity, systematically & somewhat-successfully.
And then you multiply that unconscious political-sentience/motivation also alters all our interactions, realtime, in order to prevent objectivity from having any validity...
and you mulitply that by "history" is written to cater-to entrenched unconscious prejudice of the faction who wrote that history, so it acts to displace any reader-of-history getting past that...
it takes *work* to see the complexity of our unconscious idiocy-enforcement regime, it takes work to see the unconscious idiocy-enforcement regime, itself!

And why was there nobody noticing that WikiLeaks was accepting & publishing stuff embarassing to everyone .. *except Russia*, at the time?
( notice that WikiLeaks helped Trump win )
I've read that WikiLeaks blocked any accountability touching Russia for a decade, around then...
So, WikiLeaks was a Russian ally? or Russian-backed operation.
And nobody reported on that, or considered that that was an internationally-operated Russian-owned/loyal operation.

Why the hell do people pretend that only 1 or 2 elements of the world exist, at any given time?
Few *undercurrents* exist, because unconscious-mind *is* simple, as it is limbic/herd-beast mind,
but the "clothing" that those undercurrents wear, is myriad.
It always has been.

Hell, 1 of the most insulting-of-intelligence items is the White-supremacist gaslighting about what "All Lives Matter" means,
*and everybody else just accepting that gaslighting*.
Does Indigenous Lives Matter happen to be a part of what All Lives Matter *says* it means?
Yes?
Does it have *anything* to do with what White-supremacists mean when they are chanting "All Lives Matter"??
Of course not!
So how come when White-supremacism is gaslighting about "All Lives Matter", while, in 1 instance *gang kicking a nonwhite, together, while chanting that*, that people aren't calling-out *the gaslighting*??
( that was the gang of whites kicking a black man, together, while chanting that, at a Trump rally, which went viral, btw )
Does Battered-Lives Matter happen to be within the statement of "All Lives Matter"?
Does Women's Lives Matter happen to be within it?
Does Hispanic Lives Matter?
Does Asian Lives Matter?
Does The Working Destitute Matter?
Does Homeless Lives Matter?
Yet NOBODY in MSM is calling-out the gaslighting of what the White Supremacists mean when they're falsely stating that??

Apparently humankind has some impervious-to-objectivity mental-deformation.
Universe has a solution for that:
The Great Filter, aka species-extinction of won't-grow-up toddler-mind-enforcing kinds.
IF humankind is devout to concerted-ignorance,
THEN Universe force-corners humankind into extinguishing itself,
through the same disintegrity-enforcement that our own ignorance "obliges".
Universe won't tolerate our ideological-rabies.
And that is automatic.
Nobody, not some male insecure bully "God", NObody, needs to make it be the force that extinguishes such species:
it is automatic.
The incompetence-rabies enforces *its own* extinguishing of the kind of people who are siding with it.
True elegance, that...
Self-cleaning Universes...
and nobody on this planet can get outside of political-faction-belonging,
to see it,
when it is going to extinguish this murderously-ignorant toddler-enforcing insane species.
Elegant.
