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.

The facility, which is run by ICE and private prison profiteer CoreCivic, is accused of providing inadequate medical care for children, as well as poor sanitary and health conditions. Detainees also report being served moldy or worm-infested food.

My fellow Americans, don't you just want to go ape shit? Its more than time to forcibly open these places and release the hostages. Maybe kick CoreCivic employees and executives in the dick while we're at it.

I want to do something broadly effective, not make a useless gesture of violence in response to violence. If you feel like you need to take direct action against the oppressors, for whatever reason you might have in mind, you are being reactionary - which is how we got to this place of divisive extremist politics in the first place.

And yes, I understand that we're past mere political disagreements at this point, and people are dying. It doesn't matter, because any action taken without planning and coordination will be performative and nothing else.

- Active civil war brought on by the feds
- Violence pouring out all over the country because of the actions of the feds
- libs: "you are being reactionary!"

Yeah, I don't take criticism from armchair warriors.

If you think you're getting out of fascism without picking up a gun at this point, well, I guess fascism is going to win.

You're right, but this is also going on:

Russia should "introduce geopolitical disorder into internal American activity, encouraging all kinds of separatism and ethnic, social, and racial conflicts, actively supporting all dissident movements – extremist, racist, and sectarian groups, thus destabilizing internal political processes in the U.S. It would also make sense simultaneously to support isolationist tendencies in American politics".

The right wasn't radicalized by accident, and it would be naive to think the same manipulation isn't being done to the left - say by advocating for violent resistance.

its easier to do it on the right

[–] NaibofTabr -1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Perhaps it was easier to push the right in that direction, to get them started, but nothing will disable the left quite like elitism. Nothing makes the people on the left special, or somehow immune.

If we recognize that this kind of manipulation is happening to others, we should be examining our own behaviors, motivations, and intentions for similar effects.

I have no interest in being manipulated into contributing to the chaos and destruction to serve someone else's political goals. And if we believe that the path the right has taken is lined with mistakes and cruelty, why would we then follow them down the same path?

Our path should look like this:

Yeah, Renee should've just put a flower in that gun before getting shot in the face.
