A place to discuss politics and offer political commentary. Self posts are preferred, but links to current events and news are allowed. Opinion pieces are welcome on a case by case basis, and discussion of and disagreement about issues is encouraged!

The intent is for this community to be an area for open & respectful discussion on current political issues, news & events, and that means we all have a responsibility to be open, honest, and sincere. We place as much emphasis on good content as good behavior, but the latter is more important if we want to ensure this community remains healthy and vibrant.

Content Rules:

Self posts preferred.
Opinion pieces and editorials are allowed on a case by case basis.
No spam or self promotion.
Do not post grievances about other communities or their moderators.

Commentary Rules

Don’t be a jerk or do anything to prevent honest discussion.
Stay on topic.
Don’t criticize the person, criticize the argument.
Provide credible sources whenever possible.
Report bad behavior, please don’t retaliate. Reciprocal bad behavior will reflect poorly on both parties.
Seek rule enforcement clarification via private message, not in comment threads.
Abide by Lemmy's terms of service (attacks on other users, privacy, discrimination, etc).

Please try to up/downvote based on contribution to discussion, not on whether you agree or disagree with the commenter.

Discuss?

Oh come on, don't downvote me! I don't support this garbage. But we're living through a major historical event (not just the parade, but this whole thing).

If I can't be out protesting, I'm going to be observing this moment as much as I can. I'm watching protests, too!

These political sponsorships are K I L L I N G me, lmao.

I feel like it's not long before we hear: "World War 3, brought to you by Coca-Cola! Keeping the troops feeling fresh, every battle!"

This thing is surreal, y'all.

"Rock" music, the commentator is using a sales persona and language, the corporate sponsorships... Kojima might be right again.

"Along with a special thanks to Palantir!!"

I think the "rock music" might be AI... It sounds -very- close to real songs but...not.

Here come the robot dogs!

He just swore a group of cadets in... 🤮

Y'all, this is exactly how dystopic military propaganda is portrayed in media. It almost feels like a parody.

Ope! The concert truck rolled up!

Surrounded by their toy soldiers, they stand behind bulletproof glass.

omg, is it really going to end with a Trump rally?! Why am I surprised?

Okay, no rally, just a self serving speech.

But of course he got Lee fking Greenwood to sing God Bless the USA. 🤦‍♀️
