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!

And Bobby Brainworm wants this for all of us?

These people are fascist eugenicists. They believe in a warped understanding of "survival of the fittest" where the fittest are the richest and being rich proves they're the fittest and the ones who deserve to survive. They're not trying to keep anyone else alive.

According to Project 2025, they want the US to have population of like 250k people. They have a lot of killing to do.

They do? I've not seen that. Have a link?

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Georgia_Guidestones

I think they're talking about the Georgia guidestones

Which is believed to be related to US Christian fundamentalist orgs.

Yeah, it was 500 million, worldwide. The US xtian fundies like Alex Jones went absolutely apeshit because they thought it was the (((illuminati))) and/or the (((globalists))) and/or "Satanists" that were behind it.

The black helicopter crowd/fundies are the same people that go bug-eyed over phrases like "you will own nothing and be happy" and the idea of updating the SAD to have something other than gigantic slabs of beef, so....to even have the suggestion of trying to maintain some kind of balance on the planet drives them bonkers, because they don't math very well, and their idea of progress is infinite growth. Which might make sense if they also didn't denigrate things like transhumanism and humanity setting its sights on something higher than sitting around and waiting for Jebus to come back.

Lastly, of course, one of these terrorists likely got so worked up that they blew up the Guidestones....

Project 2025 is an absolutely vile, evil plan. But don't make shit up; you're not doing anything constructive to fight them by telling outright lies.
