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!

In the Year of Our Lord 2025, it's perfectly moral to burn down the home of anyone who chooses to live in a whites-only community.

Agreed.

Just arson, we're not into murder

[–] WoodScientist@lemmy.world 29 points 3 days ago

Exactly. And remember, we're talking about people who explicitly choose to live in an overtly racist community. We're not talking random white people who may have passively benefited from society's innate racism. If you got a job that a black person didn't simply because the company you applied for is subtly racist, well, acknowledge your privilege, but you're not really a villain yourself.

But this? We're talking about people who woke up and chose racism.

How do you feel about the Ultra-Orthodox-Jewish-only communities in East Ramapo and Kiryas Joel in NYS? Same difference?

I ask because I live near them. If you don't know about them, you should look them up. I can tell you that these folks make the white-only community look like a bunch of kumbaya hippies from the 70s.

Oh, Zionists get special privileges. Like being allowed to commit genocide

[–] redsand@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 days ago (2 children)

No need. Just sell them land primed for wildfires. Ideally somewhere that burned years ago and can't get insurance.

Anyone into ballistae? Trebuchets are cool, but have you put a small tree into someone's living room?

Also where his soul should be.

If they come to your area, you have a moral obligation to beat their asses until they leave.

Do you think DNA tests are required or is it just “white enough”

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 27 points 3 days ago (2 children)

These days they'll take anyone white enough. Even catholics!

Great question. I think we're considered white these days. I mean jesus I'm shiny, especially in winter but none of us would live within an asses roar of any of these cunts tbh.

Absolute, unadulterated cringe.

No Italians or pollaks tho. Gotta have standards...

[–] burntbacon@discuss.tchncs.de 15 points 3 days ago (2 children)

100% it is vibe based. It won't, but if it survived 69 years, it would have a council passing judgements deeming some not white.

Time to rip the Deliverator through some 'burbclave backyards.

[–] UncleGrandPa@lemmy.world 27 points 2 days ago (4 children)

Stories like these make me feel better about being over 70.

At least I won't be around for the worst of what is coming

I'm 40 and I calm myself down by remembering that my time on earth is temporary, I'm not joking.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 16 points 2 days ago

I'm not having kids, for their own sake

[–] Nomad@infosec.pub 16 points 2 days ago

The grandpa part is what worries me. Your children and their children will inherit this problem. You are the generation that has all the time and money and influence now. Maybe fight that shit if you still can.

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I'm certainly envious. Plus your opportunity to buy a house for fast food wages back in the day

[–] P1k1e@lemmy.world 8 points 2 days ago (1 children)

40s too young for that friend. We graduated highschool in the early 2000s

[–] FauxLiving@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

All we got was to have our childhoods scarred by 9/11, watch our friends be ruined by war and to witness social media rise up and destroy every society.

We did have the Macarena, YTMND and cat memes (back before anyone knew what "meme" meant)...

Whites-only community: "Oops! All village idiots!"

[–] wetbeardhairs@lemmy.dbzer0.com 21 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Calling all gays! Calling all gays!

Infiltrate this community.

[–] Pipster@lemmy.blahaj.zone 23 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Don't think its needed, it will already be full to the brim of self hating and repressing gay men

Part of me says let 'em. I use Trump or Republican paraphernalia as self-identification by people I do not want to interact with. As far as I'm concerned, let them make a whites-only city wherever they want one. These are places that neither I nor my family will go, and a whole bunch of the people I don't want to interact with in the first place will voluntarily sequester themselves there.

It seems like a win-win to me.

Plus, as I said before, it is more than adequate justification for a no-maga, no-Republican community to be built. Yet another win.

Sundown towns are a bad place to break down on the way to elsewhere. And poison seems to ~~sleep~~ seep out.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 days ago

These are not the kind of people who mind their own business.

[–] PrettyFlyForAFatGuy@feddit.uk 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

if you let them they'll expand to the point where they're running towns and cities. at which point you've just got sundown towns with extra steps.

I saw the documentary about them and people in the local area were like "They're up there not bothering anyone leave them alone"

ignoring the fact that these people are actively trying to expand... There is only one way this ends up if they do

The problem wouldn't be much better for your proposed no-maga, no-republican community. We're in the situation we're in because of political siloing. The answer isn't more political siloing
