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!

You need to be in jail just like every other lunatic using social media to radicalize people into commiting violent acts.

It is morally okay to punch fascists.

I don't think that word means what you think it means.

[–] webadict 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Typically you point out the word when you say the line.

Are you saying that violence should be met with non-violence? Are you saying that these particular stochastic terrorists are not fascists? Are you saying punching is an inadequate measure to deal with fascists?

Why, feel free to explain yourself, lest you look foolish.

Cry some more GOP voters. Go beat women like the people you vote for.

First of all I am not American. Secondly what does political affiliation have to do with believing people who call for this level of violence need to be imprisoned.

And just to piss you, I actively support a real life socialist in my country and I am proud of that.

Come to America and see them police murder people in the streets. It may change your worldview on the facism we have to live in. Also good for you. Keep supporting them. We need that too.

You couldn't pay me to visit the US.

Can I pay to sleep under you're house instead of living in this shithole?
