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!

The rise of this new, female group fits into a pattern of post-Jan. 6 domestic extremism.

Mom groups tend to get a lot less support when they quote Hitler and then cough over a moment of silence for Holocaust victims after being called out for it.

PTA meetings and those who have been running the "municipal" education systems have been receiving and injecting federal propaganda into local communities for well over 20 years now, so this just seems like the equal opposite reaction to the educational system being corrupt for decades.

Please give some examples.

You haven't seen any of the project veritas clips?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Project Veritas? Are you shitting us right now?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Who are you referring to as "us"? It does seem like this is an astroturf post that would be a natural echo chamber on reddit.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

I'm referring to all people participating here who you think will be convinced by anything Project Veritas has to say. Sadly for you, no one participating appears to be convinced.

Is it not proof of people injecting propaganda into education?

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If Project Veritas showed "proof" water was wet, I'd get two other opinions.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If video surveillance of educators and administrators admitting to injecting propaganda into their curricula is not "proof" then you surely would look for a second opinion to confirm your bias : you absolute dullard.

Video from the group that constantly deceptively edits video? Yeah, again, are you shitting us?

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago (2 children)

You cannot deceptively edit people into saying things they didn't say. You are a laughably bad attempt at appearing to use logic and reason, but you cannot look any dumber when saying they "Deceptively edit" footage. 😂😂😂😂

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Are you claiming they don't deceptively edit footage?

Literally the second sentence of their Wikipedia entry says so.

So I see no reason to believe anything they present. Why should I take a proven liar's word for anything? "It's on video?" Great. Do they show the context? No.

This is your one and only chance to stop insulting me before I end this conversation and block you. This is not Reddit and I will not put up with such incivility.

If you truly don’t believe footage can be deceptively edited, I got some bridges to sell you
