Any politics anywhere in the world. Inevitably it'll be 99% US stuff, but that's not a rule.
This community works differently to how most politics communities work. It has strict rules designed to facilitate productive discussion. You can be rude, to a point, but you can't participate in bad faith:
The idea is to make the discussion productive. Let's see how it works. Maybe this is a fool's errand but IDK how any set of moderation could be worse than lemmy.world.
Other misc rules:

You don't know a nonviolent revolution is impossible

lame ass cop science.

Revolução dos Cravos anyone, Europe's favourite peaceful revolution? Yet another CIA op - and you can be damn sure that none of the small leftist parties had any say in anything after a brief period of a somewhat permissive chaos. After the dust had settled the US had another vassal state with a neat group of strategically placed islands in the Atlantic ocean, complete with a fake democracy and some native minions to run the whole thing.
Ever since I started keeping livestock I can't help but notice the similarities between livestock and citizens - the way you manage them, distract them, keep them contained without them noticing ... getting more cynical by the day. How do get through this invisible electric fence?
If you think about the French Revolution, it was a disaster. It paved the way for Naloleon, a despot that undid a lot of what the revolutionaries fought for.
