Soon enough no corner of the internet will be safe from fascism and authoritarianism. Between this and eshitification for profit, social media absolutely blows goats.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- 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:
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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!

It does indeed blow goats.
Wow fuck everything about this.
Don't reuse usernames for accounts. Have throwaway email addresses. Use a VPN, such as PIA that doesn't have logging. Keep personally identifiable information away from your account. These are a few options that can aide in keeping yourself safe. There are more steps you can take, but I'm going to assume for most of the small fish out there, you aren't worth investigating for minir possession charges.
Also push for space colonization, because we need a frontier in order for people to truly choose societies.
We have multiple governments one can choose to live under, but it’s a finite number so they can form a cartel and fix the negotiating terms.
Like, if someone doesn’t like a law that permits total surveillance, they can move to another place that doesn’t have it … unless they all have it.
As the world becomes more tightly integrated into a single power structure, the “marketplace of competition” between legal systems goes away.
So we need to have a world where if a person isn’t getting more out of society than it’s costing them, they can choose to go start a new one with fewer resources but more freedom.
