Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

Yes - you fucking are. The modern-day state of Israel is a creation of western colonialism - you know... the exact same western colonialism that resulted in the Nazis looking for their precious "lebensraum" in the (so-called) "Jewish-Bolshevist" east? You know... the exact same (so-called) "western civilization" that invented antisemitism? Israel is a kapo state, doing the bidding of and being enabled by the same white supremacist and antisemitic powers that made Jewish life so damn difficult and next-to impossible in the west in the first place.
And here you are... running interference against the people that is pointing out this inconvenient truth out to you and everybody else.
So, again... what does it feel like to play kapo for the very people that invented antisemitism?
Yeah, you're right - I left out quite a few. Canada, Australia, Apartheid-South Africa - man, the white supremacist rabbit-hole just gets deeper and deeper, doesn't it?
Sooo... you still don't understand squat about white supremacism. Nothing about that has changed.
You can stop being a right-winger any time you damn well feel like it - it is a choice, you know.
Clyde, you accusing people who are pointing out your investment in white supremacist propaganda doesn't make you unique. It's one of the go-to strategies of every white supremacist that learned their ideology watching Ben Shapiro videos.
White supremacism didn't exist back when the Roman empire was a thing because white supremacism hadn't been invented yet. You know... the same reason the Romans didn't have M16 rifles? The "scientific racism" which underpins the modern-day ideology of white supremacism is a purely European invention that arose during the colonialist era starting with the (so-called) "Reconquista" in Spain. I hope this is not too difficult for you to understand.
That's a lot of text just to show you don't know what you're talking about.
Okay, I'm sorry that you can't understand that white supremacy is still white supremacy even if the phrase didn't exist.
The concept still did ... Like, what do you call someone that enslaves other races for being lesser than them, takes over their land, changes shit because fuck them etc etc?
White supremacists, or ancient Romans.
They laid the ground work for all of it, and that's why you're so vehemently defending them, you alt right people love you some white supremacy that isn't called it.
Greeks and Romans did the racism: https://www.jstor.org/stable/40023593
But you're literally the racist POS here. You've done Jack shit to deny it other than try to play the uno reverse card, while I've pointed out your white supremacist bullshit.
All you've done is throw up a strawman and call that racism, the problem with a strawman is, I never said it or claim to agree with it.
Sorry you don't like people of color getting their ancestral land back. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on native Americans and African Americans 🙄 I bet you don't want them to get reparations.
