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!

If you have one coming, it's important to set up a local rapid response network. That means:

  • A hotline for locals to call (and distributing the number)
  • Town or neighborhood level signal chats to alert people about what is happening
  • Whistle distribution so that it's possible to rapidly alert immediate neighbors
  • Starting regular patrols to spot ICE before they kidnap anybody

Don't forget, these processing centers are really meant for long-term use, not just the short-term excuse of cleaning up the illegals. Once they've tackled the immigration problem, which shouldn't take long with their massive numbers and budget, they'll have to use those facilities for something else.

The future business model of the United States will be to incarcerate everybody who violates the law even a little bit, and then rent them out as prison slave labor, and these facilities will house that labor.

And it won't just be "criminals." If AI, Robotics, and Slave Labor take your job away, you'll be able to get government assistance, perhaps even UBI, in exchange for living in the Labor Camps, and volunteering to be a slave.

More like you'll become homeless, which will be criminalized, and then you'll be rounded up and sent to the camps...

Oh, yeah, they will have all sorts of excuses to go to the camps. Dissent? You're a slave. Too much debt? You're a slave. Unemployed? You're a slave. Resist the draft? You're a slave.

This is exactly what I keep saying in my day to day life and people literally tell me I'm insane.

It will become harder and harder for the average person to procure money at all, and not having money will become a crime. We're just going back to chattel slavery, and the ruling class is exploiting the hatred of homeless people that they cultivated in order to manufacture consent.

Every citizen of every nation that has been destroyed by their government denied that it could ever happen in their beautiful country. Sarajevo hosted an Olympics in front of the entire world, and in a few short years, they were the victims of one of the most brutal sieges in human history.

A few centuries ago, some city state would be going along as they had every day since written records, only to have the Huns or the Mongols arrive the next day, and kill literally every living thing.

German citizens of 1933 would have laughed at you if you told them that in less than a decade, they would be murdering their fellow citizens at a wholesale pace, and the rest of the world would literally bomb their beautiful nation to rubble.

The South never would have started the Civil War if they had been truthful with themselves about the price they would pay.

Every country is beautiful, until it isn't.
