<p>Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it’ll be 99% US stuff, but that’s not a rule. </p>
<p>This community works differently to how most politics communities work. It has strict rules designed to facilitate productive discussion. You can be rude, to a point, but you can’t participate in bad faith: </p>
<ul>
<li>If you claim someone said something they didn’t say, that’s a temp ban. </li>
<li>If you make a factual claim but then aren’t interested in backing it up, that’s a temp ban. </li>
<li>If you’re asked one or two reasonable questions about what you said, and you’re still talking but you’re pretending the questions didn’t happen or rejecting the premise of answering them, that’s a temp ban. </li>
</ul>
<p>The idea is to make the discussion productive. Let’s see how it works. Maybe this is a fool’s errand but IDK how any set of moderation could be worse than lemmy.world. </p>
<p>Other misc rules: </p>
<ul>
<li>No <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources" rel="nofollow ugc" target="">unreliable sources</a>. </li>
<li>Keep it productive please. </li>
<li>Self posts for discussion are fine. This includes videos or photos. No meme posts or screenshots please. </li>
<li>No personal insults. </li>
<li>No racism / transphobia / related bigotry.</li>
</ul>

    Piers Morgan put three economists in a room. The Strait of Hormuz is shut, the petrol pumps are bleeding, the Iran war is metastasising into something the Pentagon doesn’t have a playbook for, and Piers wanted a debate. What he got instead was a public dressing-down so brutal, so naked, so fucking surgical, that I had to rewind it twice just to make sure I’d actually heard it.

    With missiles and bombs raining down, Pentagon accounts began using strange turns of phrase to describe the AI-guided violence unleashed against child and soldier alike. The destruction was described as “lethalitymaxxing”. Its perpetrators were said to be “locked in” with “low cortisol”.

    Decades of research in developmental psychology have shown that moral reasoning develops through consequences—not punishment, necessarily, but experiencing the effects of your actions on others, receiving honest feedback, having to accommodate reality as it actually is rather than as you wish it to be. It’s not that the wealthy become evil; it’s that their environment stops teaching them the things that nonwealthy people are forced to learn simply by living in a world that pushes back. When you can buy your way out of any mistake, when you can fire anyone who disagrees with you, when your social circle consists entirely of people who need something from you, the basic mechanism by which humans learn that other people are real goes dark.

    Republican fascists will tell you that the people in parkas and bathrobes are domestic terrorists who threaten our way of life and the armed paramilitary thugs who are terrorizing them with kidnapping and gassing and beatings and murder are legal officers who ensure our peace and safety.

    Every move Trump made to consolidate power in 2025 reminded me of something I have seen before. So I decided to investigate the historic parallels, and what I found will shock you. In this video I explain how meticulously Trump has copied the fascist playbook, and I show you why Trump will ultimately fail.

    Wealthy people don't seem to think of money as money. It's certainly not lack for material needs or luxury that drives them. At a certain point of wealth, what is being pursued seems not to be wealth, but the ability to make other people suffer. What's being pursued is immunity from human decency; the ability and even the right to be depraved with impunity.

    Protesters demand justice for Renee Nicole Good, a mother of three shot dead by an ICE agent in Minneapolis this week. Indivisible, a social movement group, said hundreds of demonstrations were scheduled in Texas, Kansas, New Mexico, Ohio, Florida and other US states on Saturday. “ICE’s violence is not a statistic, it has names, families, and futures attached to it, and we refuse to look away or stay silent,” Leah Greenberg, Indivisible’s co-executive director, said in a statement.

    This is shaping up to be even bigger than last time. It's rare for an individual protest to suddenly cause a positive change, this is about building a movement and showing strength and supporting each other. Visit https://www.nokings.org/ to find a location near you.

    Every resident in the building was detained. Not just suspected gang members. Everyone. Adults. Children. Witnesses report children zip-tied together, crying, terrified. One federal officer, when asked about the children, reportedly said: “Fuck them kids.”
