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!

Eh Braun was in the party and never attempted to defect until his side had lost. He prioritized physics over politics sure, but he didn’t try to minimize the suffering his employers caused. At best he was an apolitical developer of arms for Nazi Germany who used concentration camp labor to do it.
How do you know?Did he ever have the opportunity to do so? The nazis probably kept him under 24/7 armed surveillance.
Same question.
No, at best he was a slave himself, just with more privileges. Like how in US chattel slavery house slaves had more privileges than field slaves but still had no freedom, rights or ability to make their own choices.
In contrast, Musk has all the rights, privileges and freedom in the world and he's voluntarily using it to aid fascists and other monsters while pretending that it's a heroic thing to do.
Because he had every reason to make all the claims he wanted and didn’t. Operation paperclip would’ve cleared his name if he had put up a reasonable farce of it.
And I know because a lot of researchers on the American side were German and Italian defectors who left when fascists started gaining power. Werner von Braun wouldn’t’ve been subject to quotas or anything like that as a leading rocket scientist.
