Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!

Rules:

  1. 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:

  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. 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.
  5. 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!

“Woody, part of a group called Cut the Ties to Fossil Fuels and dressed in the grim reaper costume, told the Guardian he had come “dressed as Big Oil”…

“”Big Oil’s tentacles reach across through many industries, and it’s those enablers of the fossil fuel industry that, as a movement, Cut the Ties to Fossil Fuels, target.”

“He said it was important to unite on the left and work together, which is something the right tend to do well “despite having massive differences”.

“”It’s a numbers game in a way. This is really important to send a message. So I’m really excited about being here today and being part of a much bigger thing.”

The protest was in response to Tommy Robinson’s “unite the kingdom” rally in September, when 110,000 people marched through central London.

The event was supported by a wide range of celebrities, including the actors Christopher Eccleston, David Harewood, Lenny Henry, Steve Coogan, Toby Jones, Lolly Adefope and Maxine Peake, the musicians Paloma Faith, Charlotte Church, Brian Eno and Beverley Knight, and the comedian James Acaster.

I didn't know these celebrities supported Tommy Robinson! /s

What a terrible order of phrasing from an international newspaper.

Yeah, it took me a second to realise, I thought what kind of timeline did I step into lol.

The opposite of multiculturalism is incestculturalism. The opposite of "race-mixing" is "incest-mixing".

Use language to make people understand why a constant inflow of new cultural trends and new genetic variety is a good thing. The alternative is bad for everyone, and always has been.

The best example of a country that opposes multiculturalism and "race-mixing" is North Korea. Poverty, drug abuse, corruption and ignorance are the "glorious" results of ethnonationalism.

Your last paragraph lost the point.

[–] HermitBee@feddit.uk 1 points 1 day ago

Generous...

[–] fun_times@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago (2 children)

Are you saying that North Korea's ethnonationalist "self-sufficiency" policies have been a success?

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 day ago

China is more of an ethnostate, DPRK at least in their view of the Korean people is based on citizenry rather than ethnicity.

However most Asian countries have low immigration so picking them out as a boogie man just points to name calling.

North Korea is one of the poorest, most corrupt and most oppressed countries in the world. You are delusional.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I'm asking for proof. USA would be poor too, btw, if a bully state slapped sanctions on us and threatened other states to keep them from doing any trade or business with us. Just like Cuba.

[–] fun_times@lemmy.world 1 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

We both know that you are an insane Marxist-Leninist who will discard any real sources as "cia propaganda" or "liberal lies" so instead I'm going to demand from you any proof for your insane ramblings that don't come from either North Korean propaganda or Marxist-Leninist sources!

I've had enough of ML bullshit propaganda! YOU need to provide sources for YOUR outlandish claims! We both know you're lying on purpose. You're refusing to see a truth that would only require a simple Wikipedia or Youtube search. Because you probably view all real sources as fictional and all fictional sources as real.

And yet, I'm not the one hurling invectives.

There are plenty of YT sources of people actually shocked dprk is nothing like they've been describe, if you could do a "simple YouTube search."

Anyway, I don't know what you want so here:

Mixing but only to a certain extent. Animals including humans are naturally altruistic toward their relatives. The biological purpose is to promote their genes. That's the reason Scots form clans. Some ethnic mixing is good because different ethnic groups have genes that other groups might not have but this should not reach a point where an ethnic group's identity is wiped out because of mixing. Think of the Olympic flag which has 5 rings The rings overlap but only partially. North Korea is poor not because of ethnonationalism but poor government. China, Japan, and Russia are examples of homogeneous societies which are doing well.

North Korea is poor not because of ethnonationalism but poor government.

Sanctions surely have nothing to do with poverty in sanctioned nations.

Anyway, DPRK seems to be doing well, despite USA interference.

[–] panthera_@lemmy.today 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I don't think North Korea's economy is doing well but the important point is that many countries which are ethnically homogeneous do well such as Russia, China, Japan, and even South Korea.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 1 points 1 day ago

Those states aren't sanctioned, either.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth -1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Except you just described the USA and Israel, not the dprk.

[–] ManixT@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Huh? The US is basically the most ethnically diverse country in the world, despite trump and republican wishes.

DPRK is absolutely not ethnically diverse.

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 0 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Poverty, drug abuse, corruption and ignorance

[–] ManixT@lemmy.world 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

There's no shortage of that in the DPRK either.
