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!

Right, but that's the crazy part.
In their mind I'm genetically superior, but only because of my appearance. Then if I come out and say "but I'm not genetically superior" they get pissed off because yes I am and I'm a traitor.
How can they possibly be comfortable with stating one thing both is and is not good?
Their goal is not to be logically consistent. Their goal is to make you subservient.
It's funnier cause they claim blue eyes are superior when in most of the world it isn't, especially when the world is heating up more and more and we have less ice and snow.
What do blue eyes have to do with less ice and snow?
It's a thing that's being studied but apparently it's also true for reindeer which turn their eyes blue during the winter to help them see better in low light conditions and brown in the summer when there's better lighting.
Its basically also why people closer to the equator have darker skin.
Melanin. Melatonin is the chemical that makes you sleepy
I can't tan. It's the worst. I just burn.
Corrected, thanks friend.
Yep and by that same logic the ubermensh are actually gonna be the 'inferior' (not that I believe any of that) species with the climate change that same people love to deny.
Ha, man, I thought I was crazy, I had no idea. My ancestry was largely from northern Europe - but my Dad did a lot of astronomy and typically had me find things for him when we were out in the field. He always said "because you see things better than me" which I thought was absolute horseshit because I'm near sighted and he's farsighted.
Maybe I did because my blue eyes actually helped a bit.
Definitely a possibility. All life on earth is actually insane in how it works and why. Even the simple looking things like the color of our eyes.
