News
Welcome to the News community!
Rules:
1. Be civil
Attack the argument, not the person. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Good faith argumentation only. 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. Do not respond to rule-breaking content; report it and move on.
2. All posts should contain a source (url) that is as reliable and unbiased as possible and must only contain one link.
Obvious biased sources will be removed at the mods’ discretion. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted separately but not to the post body. Sources may be checked for reliability using Wikipedia, MBFC, AdFontes, GroundNews, etc.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Post titles should be the same as the article used as source. Clickbait titles may be removed.
Posts which titles don’t match the source may be removed. If the site changed their headline, we may ask you to update the post title. Clickbait titles use hyperbolic language and do not accurately describe the article content. When necessary, post titles may be edited, clearly marked with [brackets], but may never be used to editorialize or comment on the content.
5. Only recent news is allowed.
Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.
6. All posts must be news articles.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials, videos, blogs, press releases, or celebrity gossip will be allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis. Mods may use discretion to pre-approve videos or press releases from highly credible sources that provide unique, newsworthy content not available or possible in another format.
7. No duplicate posts.
If an article has already been posted, it will be removed. Different articles reporting on the same subject are permitted. If the post that matches your post is very old, we refer you to rule 5.
8. Misinformation is prohibited.
Misinformation / propaganda is strictly prohibited. Any comment or post containing or linking to misinformation will be removed. If you feel that your post has been removed in error, credible sources must be provided.
9. No link shorteners or news aggregators.
All posts must link to original article sources. You may include archival links in the post description. News aggregators such as Yahoo, Google, Hacker News, etc. should be avoided in favor of the original source link. Newswire services such as AP, Reuters, or AFP, are frequently republished and may be shared from other credible sources.
10. Don't copy entire article in your post body
For copyright reasons, you are not allowed to copy an entire article into your post body. This is an instance wide rule, that is strictly enforced in this community.

Nah, it's 'free speech' for Nazi scum like himself, not for anyone else.
I mean I agree he was Nazi scum.
But his whole schtick was generating anger in front of live audiences. They eat it up.
So I disagree. Kirk was a piece of shit but I don't recall him ever calling foul on someone saying something mean.
Without people able to walk up to him and debate freely, he wouldn't get his entire schtick.
This is just wild ignorance or revisionist history. Turning Point USA had professor watchlists where students could report professors with “leftist” views and then TP’s supporters could send the professors death threats https://www.theguardian.com/education/2021/sep/17/turning-point-usa-professor-watchlist
TIL
My stance is with regard to his debates being far more in good faith than the likes of Shapiro, Peterson, or any other alleged 1st amendment defending debaters.
I do not support most any of his stances but the right to open public discourse.
But if there's evidence to the contrary im not here to defend it. Just stating my experience with his brand/id
And that stance is silly, the whole point of his debates is so they can get edited into misleading "best ofs" and the like. It's the same shit Shapiro and Peterson do
Correct. They do not happen at all without free speech. That is my point which you've clearly missed.
