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!

So what? I mean, who even listens to what that fucking racist ghoul has to say about...wait...really?...the President?....of the US? Ah, hell.

[–] BeautifulMind@lemmy.world 3 points 4 days ago

To be clear, he essentially claimed that the US has the capability to forcibly do that- which isn't so much an assertion that the US has any right to do a thing, it is that laws and rights are meaningless in his view. He's framing a potential invasion or coup not supported by law or rights as if it's legitimized by either, while fundamentally subverting the notion that anyone but the powerful have rights the US is bound to respect.

Please, someone, save us from the Republicans. Invade us Normandy style. We'd throw you a parade.

Look, Dollar Store Lex Luthor has a point. If we don't needlessly ravage or outright steal other countries for exploitation and profit, are we even America anymore? It would be a slap in the face to every one of our forefathers who cruelly and/or indifferently oppressed and exterminate America's indigenous Peoples. What did we inflict all that suffering for if not for the gain of not only poor settlers but also robber barons, political power, and gross exploitation of natural resources? If we leave those maliciously greedy traditions behind can we even call ourselves human? If civilization is built on the backs of the oppressed, then we must not only continue to crush our poorest citizens under stifling debt and abuse of power, but also find new targets who can't fight back and oppress them as well. We must strip their lands bare and crush the peoples' spirits if not simply exterminate them, as would the Tyranids or the Borg. Only then can we proudly assert our Americanosity and confidently turn a blind eye when our rivals do the same, all while telling those victims that their suffering is not our problem.

/S in case it's not clear. Fuck this inhuman ghoul.
