Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

I watched too much Star Trek when I was young. I think 195 have to go. All humans should unite and reach for the stars, instead of some stupid in-fighting, killing each other, and burning down of wealth because of bigotry.
(Edit: I live in a big melting pot. I have enough people from Syria, Iran... and "white" people around me. And I can tell you, we all have the same goals in life, we enjoy similar things, are family fathers who all want to see their kids prosper, fight the same struggles in our lives... There's zero reason to focus on destruction and small-mindedness. We should do better. And invest the same energy into useful things. That goes for the average people. Not the ruling class. Those -of course- are motivated to disunite and stay in business.)
The idea of the "melting pot" was created by a Khazar from what I'm aware of (though I could be wrong), and comes from a play that basically calls for this concept to be enforced. That's why, in 1965, immigration (unlawful invasion) was encouraged by the US government (due to Jesuit deception, which was a thing since they took over the world in 1798).
I'm sure we didn't. We just needed a lot of people to work underground in the coal mines and in the heavy industry, steel etc. And those were labor intensive jobs, so they needed to attract a lot of workforce. In a coordinated effort, sure. But out of economic motivation. These people ended up working hard jobs alongside each other. And they built and shaped the region. Made it rich. And I got born into that kind if place. With some history to it and a bit less ethnic uniform population. But there's no evidence they read some old scripture from nomadic people and thought yes, that what we need to enforce... Instead people found out there's a lot of coal underneath their feet. And they found out the more they dig up and sell to other people, the more wealth they get. The workers wanted to have a roof over their heads and something to eat for themselves and their families. I think that's very straightforward, and my ancestors were clever enough to figure out how trade works, on their own. I'm not aware of any evidence of a different origin story for my region. Sure. Maybe we didn't invent the word for it. But the motivation and decisions of the feudal lords, company owners and employers, and the government is well documented.
And concerning America: Isn't that a melting pot because all the Europeans went there? In order to seek opportunity, or not to die of famine? And some Africans got there as well and we all know how much say they had in that process? I mean obviously North America is a melting pot. Otherwise we'd find Native Americans there and Aboriginal Canadians, not a load of people with European decent. But that doesn't have anything to do with 1965?
