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!

Thats so easy to claim when you arent the one sold out to fascism and a personal gestapo walking your streets.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It’s easy for those who don’t have courage or integrity to project insincerity onto those who do.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Oh you have the courage? You're in these streets right now? You aren't fooling anyone in the thick of it. You are so scared you are yelling at leftists online like we are supposed to immediately Rambo this shit. You wouldn't do better and stop acting like it, its not helping.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

No, I’m not in your country dealing with your problems for you. And you’re MIGHTY defensive. Do something that isn’t a parade and you might not feel so insecure.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

But you claimed projection, that you had courage and bravery, that you are a stallwart of freedom and justice. That you'd sniff out evil in all its forms and crush it under boot! Don't let those feet freeze now you are about to actually stand up from your keyboard and become the fighter you spew at Americans to be.

[–] WizardofFrobozz@lemmy.ca -1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I’m not sure what kind of reaction you want. Let me know and I’ll try to accommodate.

Coward.

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 1 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I want you to realize that you wouldn't white knight it up and shoot Canada ICE in the street if it happened to your country. Becayse you wouldn't. You are upset and scared and lashing out at any Americans you see in a fucking leftist space. If anything these are the people you'd coordinate sabotage with, but you are too scared to even do that. Just reverted to yelling at strangers to fix it naow.

“Leftist space.” You are hilarious.

Overly comfortable white liberal space, maybe?

[–] Sanctus@anarchist.nexus 0 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Look at my instance. At least try, just once, instead of instantly being hostile to all Americans.

You know what? You’re right. You are CLEARLY doing everything you possibly can. Too much, even? Your children and grandchildren will be goddamn amazed and bursting with pride at the stories told about you. Maybe you should take a break, have a little sit-down? I’m sure you can just depend on it all working itself out after the next few election cycles anyway.

And now we see who the coward really is. Keep lashing out. That will totally make it all better bb.
