Their conception of morality is exactly backwards.

They first consider if the person aligns with their in-group. If so, then whatever they do (so long as it doesn’t directly have a negative impact on themselves) is by nature good.

Obversely, if a person is a member of a group that is not aligned with their tribe then any action taken is inherently wicked and detrimental to society.

They don’t judge morality by the action, they judge it by the actor.

Yes, it’s common to all flavors of reactionary ideology.

Which is why it’s so rich for conservatives to pretend to hate “identity politics.” It’s literally all they have.

Don’t worry though, if they have a falling out with the in group they were always bad and this has zero weight on your past present or future judgement.

MAGA is another way of saying “brainless zombie”.

Those people could not find their own ass with two hands and a flashlight.

They drained it, then dredged the sludge off the bottom and used it to fill government positions. Again.

We shouldn’t have a majority of voters in the U.S choosing a Nazi, but here we are.

They knew Elon was up Trump’s butt before the election and we all knew he was going to be doing exactly this. Even the conservatives knew, he literally told them.

So yea, they fucking did choose him, just not officially and he shouldn’t have this much power, and even if it was official he’s ignoring all the laws but the base doesn’t care because they are stupid wastes of the gift of life.

Are we trying to say Trump’s the Hindenberg of our time now? Pretty sure he still counts as a nazi too.

Plurality* the majority of registered voters did not vote, voted for harris, or voted 3rd party.

Not voting and voting 3rd party is support for Donald, but whatever makes you sleep better at night

I keep seeing this kind of comment, and it irks me. There’s nothing actionable here, and it honestly just comes across as defeatist. Oh well, what can we do, turns out a majority/plurality/murder/what the fuck ever of voters prefer Nazis. That’s some greasy fucking energy. We’re here now, regardless of what ought to be, so let’s start talking about how to deal with it.

Those enabling a nazi, are by association also nazis. People need to stop referring to this administration as separate. They are also pushing the agenda, so they are also nazis.

We should, but only for private citizens. Anything government related should be done in public.

They technically are, but not until the current administration is out of office, which is somewhere in the realm of never.

No need to burn records when so many have simply accepted their content being removed from visibility without reason or accountability in this day in age.

Maybe his yes-men will start using Discord instead lol.

Better question: why aren’t they using X, the thing that Elon is advertising as the Everything App?

Because he wants everyone else’s data on it so that he can exploit it. He doesn’t care about the data of his own people - he doesn’t even want it recorded.

Or because they know it’s not secure or reliable enough for their hostile takeover. Not like Slack is any better though

Reminds me of the dorkwad who leaked military(?) secrets to his friends on discord a couple years ago. I think he was about their age at the time too, which tracks.

On the Warthunder forums there are regular leaks of military secrets, like fighter jet schematics, specs and such just to win arguments. People are fucking stupid.

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!
