For civil discussion of US politics. Be excellent to each other.

Rule 1: Posts have the following requirements:
▪️ Post articles about the US only

▪️ Title must match the article headline

▪️ Recent (Past 30 Days)

▪️ No Screenshots/links to other social media sites or link shorteners

Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. One or two small paragraphs are okay.

Rule 3: Articles based on opinion (unless clearly marked and from a serious publication-No Fox News or equal), misinformation or propaganda will be removed.

Rule 4: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a jerk. It’s not acceptable to say another user is a jerk. Cussing is fine.

Rule 5: Be excellent to each other. Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, ableist, will be removed.

Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

Rule 7. No conjecture type posts (this could, might, may, etc.). Only factual. If the headline is wrong, clarify within the body.

You're right that it's important to choose your targets well.

You're a bit too generous if you claim the random smashing and looting behavior is purely artificial, sparked by false flag sabotage.

I'll grant that i believe false flag sabotage happened, but I just don't believe that they're at fault for causing a cascade of problems.

A group of white guys aren’t at fault for causing a cascade of problems for black people.

You’re amazing.

I was also at one of these, and I know a proud boy when I see one.

I'm not sure we're understanding eachother. Let me rephrase, I don't believe they're at fault for the whole problem. They amplified the problem, but they didn't cause it. I would argue they didn't even cause a majority of it.

I hear your opinion, and I disagree.
