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!

I don't fucking get the right.

"Evolution is evil it says we're monkeys!"

"Genetics means we can have better blood lines!"

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

They don't actually understand any of those things. They just think white skin, blue eyes and blond hair equals Uber mensch and thus the divine right to rule the world. And just like the Nazis, the fact that most of them don't actually conform to the qualifications they dream up is beyond them. That's why you see those pictures of Trump as a muscular Jesus, they are very detached from reality.

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?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

Their goal is not to be logically consistent. Their goal is to make you subservient.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

What do blue eyes have to do with less ice and snow?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (2 children)

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.

  • Too much sun = skin cancer
  • Too little sun = vitamin D deficiency
  • Too little melatonin = skin cancer prone skin
  • Too much melatonin = needs vitamin D supplements in the Arctic winter.

Melanin. Melatonin is the chemical that makes you sleepy

I can't tan. It's the worst. I just burn.

Corrected, thanks friend.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago

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.

Well yeah of course he’s going to bring out the eugenics, he surrounds himself with his fellow Nazis.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (2 children)

It's very funny that eugenicists always look inbred and disgusting

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Like the well-bred Hapsburgs!

"You have seen people in this courtroom, you have seen them at this trial, you have met them in your life, have every reason to respect them, to love them, to appreciate them, except that maybe one of their ancestors going back and back and back to where perhaps they had ten thousand ancestors, and one of them was black or partly black, and he has to be a hewer of wood and drawer of water and all of his generation, to the end of time to be cursed that way by those who think their blood is pure.

Of course, the marvel of it is that there is not any such thing as pure blood.

How far can you go back in yours, how far can I go back in mine? I knew who my father was and who my mother was, and I know who all four of my grandparents were, but when I get back of that I am lost in obscurity and night. I know they came from New England. I hate to admit it, but they did,--pure Nordic.

MR. TOMS: New England Nordic?

MR. DARROW: New England Nordic. Isn’t it awful? I know it. I had to bear it and get along with it the best I could for all these years. For all I know they may have been related to Jonathan Edwards. From there they go back to England, but what of it? Gentlemen, I don’t know where they came from back of that or that far, and I know that back of me and back of you is an infinite ancestry stretching away back at least five hundred thousand years, and we are made up of everything on the face of the earth, of all kinds and colors and degrees of civilization, and out of that come we.

Who are we, any of us, to be boastful above our fellows?"

The Orange POS Nazi is copying 1920's, 30's and 40's Germany.

He says this kind of crap literally every day. Didn't he say Harris voters would be in danger like, literally yesterday? It's not "stunning" anyone anymore, we're just supposed to act like people in power actually care that he's a xenophobic, narcissistic fascist. Headlines like this are supposed to comfort us into believing that those with power are actually stunned or upset by what he said. Every day? For eight+ years? Get the fuck out of here.

Won't someone please think of our leaders' pearls.

I’ve stopped bothering with links from RawStory. It’s all just ragebait headlines. There’s a nugget of truth and I’m encouraging everyone to vote blue up and down the ballot, but these AI generated articles aren’t really helping. There are a few sites that are the same all up and down, but this is one of the worst.
