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 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.
  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 another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
  3. 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.
  4. 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 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!

There is no population collapse. This is just thinly veiled racism. They're clutching their pearls because soon there will be fewer white people.

I don't care what fucking color everyone is in 1000 years. We should all just fuck each other to end race once and for all.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 33 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm down. Your place or mine?

[–] MagicShel@programming.dev 18 points 4 months ago (2 children)

We need like a global swing/orgy day. All monogamous relationships are suspended once a year. Only requirement is they can't be the same skin color unless both are... ethnically ambiguous.

There, we fixed population collapse.

"No! Not like this!"

If I’ve had a vasectomy, do I still get to participate?

I’m fine wearing a vest that says “Training Staff”.

^hehehehehe^

Sounds like "the purge" porno parody.

Tan master race ftw

[–] Haagel@lemmings.world 13 points 4 months ago

My family has been doing this for several generations. My race is so ambiguous and I love it because I can jive with so many ethnic groups.

Exactly. A better solution than forcing women to have unwanted children is comprehensive immigration reform. There is no shortage of people on Earth, and many of them want to move here.

Yep, it's high-tech old time eugenics.

People like Elon are part of why I refuse to bring anyone into this dumpster fire of a planet.

[–] kromem@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

"AI is going to do labor for millions of people and is probably going to take your job. In fact, look at my fancy new android robots!"

"Also, I'm worried that you aren't pumping out enough wage slaves to support the rich."

Yeah, sure Musk. Such a boy genius over there.

[–] Burn_The_Right@lemmy.world 3 points 4 months ago

The only people who give even a tiny fuck what Elon thinks are dipshit conservatives and slow-acting investors. Like other conservative cockroaches, this planet would be dramatically improved by his absence.

I feel like his approach to fatherhood is similar to his approach for businesses--the more the merrier. There are only so many hours in a day though.

[–] Snapz@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago

Correction, musk isn't helping anything
