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!

The more you spread his bullshit, the more people will believe that shit. Same goes for Elon or any of the other billionaire crooks, and the entire fascist US government.
Just treat anything they say as complete and utter bullshit, don't spread it, just react that they are crazy as fuck and hopefully enough people will see it that way. Spreading their word just gives them more power and reach, while all they deserve is accountability for their actions and only to be remembered for what they actually are: rich criminal pedo lunatics who love nothing more than to bring agony and suffering onto others and destabilize the world for their own benefit.
Just treat them as a laughing stock, it will hurt them the most. It takes the wind out of their sails. Amplifying their words does the opposite.
I think an article titled, "Peter Thiel in Aspen: The pope is ‘working for the Chinese Communists’" is pretty absurd and not supportive or amplifying. Theil is not a social media influencer who gains power from spreading his ideas amongst regular people. He gains power by speaking to rich fail sons and people already in positions of power. The less he is perceived by regular working class people, the better he can spread his message amongst the Epstein Class.
The strategy of deplatforming works on people trying to spread their message to a wide crowd, like Nick Fuentes or Alex Tate. Theil is not someone who wants his message spread widely. He is targeting the already rich and powerful.
You find it absurd but not everyone. It is amplifying. He has a following.
Yeah, like Thiel with his public speakings about the antichrist etc. Thiel does want as much people to follow his idiotic ideas, he does speak publicly and this absurt thing about the pope is also him making a public statement to manipulate the crowd. The fact that we're having a discussion about it is already a win for him. He wants to create chaos and his opposition to fight each other, which is exactly what we're doing right now.
