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!

Protesting the direction of the country under Donald Trump, people will gather Saturday in the nation’s capital and communities across the U.S. for “ No Kings ” demonstrations — what the president’s Republican Party is calling “Hate America” rallies.

This is the third mass mobilization since Trump’s return to the White House and it is expected to be the largest.

It comes against the backdrop of a government shutdown that not only has closed federal programs and services, but is testing the core balance of power as an aggressive executive confronts Congress and the courts in ways that organizers warn are a slide toward American authoritarianism.

So if no kings = hate America

Do they love kings?

The same way the uncentralized conglomorate of people dedicated to standing against fascism is a "terrorist organization."

Makes me think of "the hacker known as 4chan."

They always tell on themselves, like when they declare that anti-fascists are enemy terrorists.

[–] blave@lemmy.world 14 points 1 month ago

See you there!

I mean .. I do hate America.

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 12 points 1 month ago (3 children)

Love your country. Fuck the fascists trying to take America away from you.

Nationalism is how the gross old men trick the young and stupid into dying for their profit

[–] mrdown@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Real nationalism is to critisize the bad, praise the good and try to improve people lives

[–] AreaKode@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Except that's called Patriotism. There's a big difference.

[–] TexasDrunk@lemmy.world 3 points 1 month ago

Can't agree more. I love both my country and my state, as fucked up as the politics are. I fight because I know they can be better.

[–] Onyxonblack@lemmy.zip 0 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

Yeah no thanks. Nationalism, patriotism, and governments and nations in general are all bad. Tribalism is bad. We need something different. It's really looking like Democracy is 100% incompatible with Capitalism.

Edit: Obviously still fuck those Fascist Nazi Confederate Traitors.

Gross Old Pedophiles.
