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.

It's not 'all of us' its those of us in the West/ Global North (the rich bit)

We flew, we drove, we ate all the meat. We shipped fantastical trinkets around the world. Our politicians gave us what we wanted.

The super rich really did it a lot, and brought all the media and fed us racist stereotypes. They brought the politicians. But we lap it up. It's on us too.
