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!

Posting this up here because we've already had to remove links to the Substack blog at least twice that I'm aware of.

Substack, like all social media, reddit, Youtube, Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Blogger, WordPress, etc, is an un-vetted workspace. As a result, we don't allow links to any of those sources.

If you're interested in the Dossier, this article tells you all you need to know to run it down.

If it gets linked through a legit news source, feel free to post it, but you'll find legitimate news isn't coming within 10 feet of it (so far, that could change!)

One of the more interesting bits in the info is that Vance clearly believes in a corporatocracy and class systems that divide people up like cattle. Pretty fucked.

It has certainly been an expedient way to make money (via Peter Thiel). And one of their "thought leaders" is a Usenet troll named Curtis Yarvin. https://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/23373795/curtis-yarvin-neoreaction-redpill-moldbug

Behind the Bastards just dropped an episode on the weirdo too. https://www.iheart.com/podcast/105-behind-the-bastards-29236323/

Couldn’t help but think while listening to Robert describe Yarvins philosophy that it sounds like they are trying to steer us into a cyberpunk nightmare reality without the absurdly advanced tech

And Lonnie’s platform blocks links. Something I thought he’d never do, what with being the “free speech” guy. /s Lonnie’s a hypocrite, but we all knew that.

Just to say, Twitter has had a policy against posting personal information since before Musk took over. The links contain phone numbers, addresses, etc. I'm sure he's happy to protect his fellow weirdo but it is actually site policy too.
