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!

What about the real coverup? The fact that all these leading nations are corrupted? And humanity basically handed off the human species to world conquering psychopaths. Earth isn't even "gods" earth anymore.
Genuine honest human life was traded to psychopaths out of insecurity and fear.
People need to focus on genuine humanity and rebuilding honest community while detoxing and NOT participating in this fucked up world that "they" created. And that also means sacrificing the privileges and comfort of the "modern" life we all escape reality with. Otherwise nothing is actually going to change.
There's a huge "spiritual" or "zightgeist" side of what's going on right now. And things can't be fixed with the simple traditional politics, which have been learned to be manipulated for whatever people with power want.
People need to change the way they perceive reality and that can only start when they detox from the unatural reality that's constantly marketed to them.
I agree with much of what you say, but the idea that this isn’t “gods” earth any more I find risible. Much of this was done in via religion which is a man-made system to capitalize on insecurity and fear.
I’m curious what you mean about “not participating in this fucked up world” and “sacrificing the privileges and comfort of the modern life”. For me, these are highly ambiguous phrases.
The problem is not a modern/permissive/whatever society but the inability of those on the right wing to tolerate anyone who is different and, as we are now finding out, to attempt to erase them. Love is the answer, and I tend to agree this is not compatible with current politics.
When I say God I don't mean God as in mainstream pop religion... I just mean natural I guess. Most people, maybe even especially actual "religious" people, are connected to what "God" is... If that makes sense.
No, it doesn't make sense. It sounds like magical thinking from someone untethered from reality.
I'm basically talking about nature/the universe.
