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!

I'm not sure I understand what is happening to the united states right now.
the british broadcasting company does though
I remember the butthurt about portraying Nazis as the bad guys in video games. I think that's the moment when I realized just how fucked up certain people are in this country. Because, yes, the Nazis are the bad guys.
In 2019 I came across someone online who was mad about Wolfenstein because it was anti trump. I had to tell them that the series had been running since the 90s and that the new ones are just fun action games.
There may be some good messaging in there for sure but they're not profoundly deep antifascist critiques of Trump's USA. They're just fun shooter games where the Nazi's are the bad guys
Indeed. These dummies also think that antifa (in other words, people that are anti-FASCIST) is a bad thing, and then turn around and call liberals fascist (they know it's a bad thing, but are either gaslighting or just have zero understanding of what fascism actually is).
No wonder they are confused (or choose to gaslight) about how being anti-Nazi is not being against white people or against their golden god-emperor.
Are we the baddies?
