Does ground news cover articles from sources that aren't aligned with the false left-right dichotomy? Does it cover these sources without assigning them arbitrary conservative and liberal percentage numbers when the source may be aligned with a different ideology?

Correct, The value is arbitrarily tied to what the older (richer) generation wants. What they were raised on, and what they want is uniformity. They want a white picket fence, no visual obstructions on the premises, no cars visible, no individuality, and no sign that anybody in the neighborhood is insubordinate to the will of the HOA's board.

HOAs in my experience are universally hated by younger generations, but they can't afford houses or change anything.

Sure, you can be carried by good RNG every time

Or you can run the numbers, hedge your bets, and play to your potential outs and win much more consistently by employing mad game knowledge

The real answer is because in America rich people buy houses, and then create HOAs in the housing deeds and contracts to force all future owners to maintain the house in a way that will increase the neighborhood property value forever.

HOAs exclusively fight to make houses more and more "valuable" since housing is a financial investment here

Yeah, if it was realistic it wouldn't be fun

How many people have been sent to camps by the alleged Nazis?

Soon to be 40,000 immigrants sent to Guantanamo, and 40,000 more to be put in the worst El Salvadorian prison, even if they are not El salvadorian.

So you’re consuming nothing that comes from the US? By the way, do you participate in the animal genocide?

This is a classist argument, this is not something you can even often choose to do if you live in a food desert, or are too impoverished to afford anything more than the subsidized US factory made scraps. It costs nothing to quit Twitter on the other hand, you're just an addict.

But! I'm lucky enough to have local farmer's markets out every day near me, and the money to support them. Why would I not consume from the U.S.? I get to see the farms I buy from and meet these people, I have fed peanuts to Praggle's alpacas and pet their cows. They are local and I have seen that they don't abuse their animals, so I support them, yes. They treat their animals right and I buy their shit. I also don't digest gluten and have to make essentially everything I eat myself because of that so it's not even entirely an option for me to buy processed mass manufactured garbage.

it remains to be seen whether Elon Musk is a Nazi

It has been seen.

I’m pretty sure you also indirectly support monetarily services and countries you disagree ideologically with.

Yes and when I recognize my avenues of support, I switch away and stop supporting things I don't like. I don't make excuses to keep using Dogshit.

You don't support them ideologically, but you are supporting one by giving ad viewership and personal data revenue to Elon Musk. Supporting a Nazi doesn't just mean you post good things about them online, and talk good about them in person. You support them monetarily by using their platform.
