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!

Maybe they mean flaming crosses?

[–] betterdeadthanreddit@lemmy.world 10 points 7 hours ago

That's just an interactive bathroom display. Get a couple well-hydrated friends and extinguish the flames together as a bonding experience.

Holy shit they're going overboard

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

This is the current play they’re running. Every single bit of this is intentional, purposeful, and has historical precedent.

[–] fluffykittycat@slrpnk.net 3 points 2 hours ago (1 children)

I really hate how everything the government does now has a direct parallel to something Nazi Germany did. Can we skip to the end of the story already

[–] gravitas_deficiency@sh.itjust.works 1 points 53 minutes ago

Well, Germany didn’t have literally thousands of nukes (that are tediously maintained and definitely do work, as opposed to Russia), and also didn’t have the strongest military in the world by an order of magnitude, so I am pretty fucking concerned about what “skipping to the end” would imply at our current juncture.

Let them cast them from valuable metal, so at least they have a recycling value.
