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!

@dantheclamman That little post isn't particularly deep, or convincing.
It's just parroting the currently fashionable stuff from the "left intellectual" press.
What's REALLY disturbing about that shit, is:
* it mixes sexual/romance relationship with the relationship between parent & young-child, and *that is vile, underhanded, dishonest, and multidimensionally-improper*.
* it tries to disable thinking, culturally, displacing it with social-pressure
( which both left & right use, btw...
The most comical globally-visible example of that was the mass herd-protests after Trump was elected.
Masses of leftists heaped together to protest .. Trump being active president.
And Universe *wouldn't obey* this mass herd-assertion!!
IMPOSSIBLE!!
( incredulity is normal, among the social-process-obedient )
Eventually, Naomi Klein told them "saying no isn't enough", and they stopped.
But .. they really believed that Universe would stop, drop, & roll, to obey their social-assertion of their herd??
Yes, they did.
THAT is frightening.
the right's conforming/enforcing centrism is culturally-different from the left's belonging-herd centrism, but both displace intelligence, with strategic/planet-scale lethal consequences, when one holds to the long view )
* it holds that one's cultural-habit is better a decider than is intelligence ( both left & right do this, and the degree of competent-education required to break that from a population is well-beyond what our "education" has allowed/tolerated, to be )
* it holds that the rest of the world ought obey its cultural-delusion instead of considered-thinking, which means that considered-thinking has already been eradicated from within that culture
etc.
There are plenty of points, and that little item, linked-to, missed/ignored most of 'em...

Feel free to mute me, so you never see anything I say ever again...

Are you a bot? Because that was a rambling word-salad with no discernible point.
@Echinoderm Really?
You hit the original post's "insight",
then you read mine,
and that is your conclusion?
Then mute me.
I'm muting you now.
