PS: Is this material about human behaviour more appropriate for the USA policy or Political Asylum?
If the subject cites US politics specifically (such as Trump mentioned even in passing, or Democtatic Party, or there is even a mild insinuation, and so on) then the post should be avoided here and should be placed on the US Policy board.
Other political subjects (history not related to the contempotaty scene, political philosophy, international, etc) don’t relate to the US Policy board so they are okay here also.
If there are such US politics posts here, they should he left in peace. This takes a bit of mental discipline but it is possible.
The reason for dividing the US politics to a separate board is not related to the quality of the post but rather because contemporary US politics proved to be luring to receive amplified political replies (if a post was a only 10% political, the reply is 80% political for example) which behinds a positive feedback loop in which non-political posts simply *vanish*, and some readers leave.
As the readership interest in the recent imaginative posts on this board show, I believe there is a real appetite (that may also build up) for non-political, philosophically leaning posts on this board.
Call it general friendly, stimulating and/or entertaining meeting-hall discussions (or even games*) in the absence of non-religious church substitues.
