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!

No I get that. But all these policies impact the death cult too, and I don't know if they're unaware of it, or they're all like 'eh, worth it.'
And if they're like 'eh, worth it' then why the crap do they need these policies when they can lower the population amongst themselves? I would be willing to bet that we could even criminalize something like planning mass death by unconventional means, and maybe even make it a crime punishable by death to make sure their death cult includes enough death.
I think a very very large portion of them are antivax, they see it as not only unnecessary, but harmful. Tie that into the corporate mandates to get vaccinated which they viewed as oppressive and this is just exactly the kind of stuff they'd love to see. I don't think death is a thought at all in regards to this, if anything they consider it a safety measure.
I'm sure there's not an insignificant portion of them also thinking "anything that triggers a liberal is great in my book!"
Your last point is the most obvious one, but the most confusing.
Progressives debate everything, and in their mind anything that is arguable and debating equals arguing, so everything can actually trigger a progressive. All they really have to say is "some people are better than others because we say so."
