Rules:

  1. Be civil. Disagreements happen, that does not give you the right to personally insult each other.

  2. No racism or bigotry.

  3. Posts from sources that aren't known to be incredibly biased for either side of the spectrum are preferred. If this is not an option, you may post from whatever source you have as long as it is relevant to this community.

  4. Post titles should be the same as the article title.

  5. No spam, self-promotion, or trolling.

Instance-wide rules always apply.

right-wing political parties have ''be sub-human trash' written in their manifesto and yet people vote them into power.

From the article "Italy’s Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, leader of the far-right Brothers of Italy party, made anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric a cornerstone of her campaign for office. She opposes allowing same-sex couples to adopt as well as marriage quality, calling civil union “good enough” for LGBTQ+ couples."

earlier, i wrote a comment saying not to use fascism to hate humanity; at the same time, the fact that fascists are also human is something we have to acknowledge so we can stop our loved ones from falling into it

The thought that keeps me sane through this is believing that the pendulum swings both ways. We have to accept that there are people who like this, and I'm going to hate them for it, but opposition will always exist.

On the whole (a long time) things in society have improved and they'll continue to improve over time. It might just be our lot to have a shit round.


Except for climate change. That's existential.
