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!

As a self identifying long-time staunch nihilist...
... What?
They are copying their critics that have taken to accusing the polit and biz owner class and them specifically of believing in nothing. Morality means nothing, only self interest. Entire generations of "leaders," that have no morals, no line they would not cross for self interest.
So naturally they accuse others of it.
I know nothing about being Trans (cis het white devil) , but I'm pretty sure it doesn't require nihilism.
If I'm wrong, I guess that's good news for me. More people to talk about the void that is existence with!
I only know a couple trans people but I certainly wouldn't describe them as nihilists. I'm a straight white guy and I'm way more nihilistic than they are. If they were nihilists I don't think they'd put in the effort that they do to live their lives how they want to.
It is all projection with these guys. Everything. Whether it is pedersting or beimg sold out or believing in nothing.
Somehow in between 2020 and now there has become no fight to a fascist state openly targeting scapegoats like trans.
I know man, nihilism gets such a bad rap
Hows it feel to suddenly start calling yourself trans out of spite? Cuz I am.
I don't think that's the way. The way is for allies to organize in large numbers to defend trans people.
