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!

This is Moms for Liberty:

This is also Moms for Liberty:

Sorry to anyone tired of me repeating this. But I will keep doing it to make sure everyone knows they're Nazis.

Moms for Liberty will not be intimidated by hate groups!

What a thing to say after using a Hitler quote about perverting education to indoctrinate children into hate.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

I’m sure in their minds they think all the “indoctrination” is being done by people who want their kids to grow up treating others nicely. They’re all about the hate and exclusion.

I know the hitler quote is there and all, but I also can’t not laugh at “we will not be be intimidated by the groups” lol

Can’t proofread their own flyer for hitler quotes or grammar errors.

Fascists frequently name themselves after ideals that go against their fascism. Like saying you're "for Liberty", then campaigning against LGBTQ+ liberties. Sometimes it almost feels like they actually know that what they're doing is evil.

Belief is the shield they use to cover their eyes and smash through the world, oblivious to the damage they cause.

Fascism can rise in a democracy and the outcome still be a democratic majority. It usually does, in fact.

Just like North Korea can also be a democracy...it's just their culture never voted anyone out if power and it's a hereditary position, convenient for tlan autocrat.

China votes all the time. Being communist says nothing about his a government operates, it's a philosophical take in economic theory. Marx never defined a communist society, nor has the earth produced one.

For those in the back, Marx defined the abusive relationship between those with money and power and the victims of their diminion under capitalism. He also coined the term Capitalism. Marx said society has evolved from fuedalism to mecantilism (Adam Smith wrote a really famous book about this), to capitalism and will evolve into socialism and ultimately communism, where we all share in the wealth we all create.

And here's a life hack for ya. If you read Das Kapitol and understand it well enough that you can refute it, with notes and annotation, well then you'll never have to work another day of your life. This one simple trick... Economists hate it.

Moms for Liberty? The Nazi group trying to steal children’s minds?
