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.

MAGA doesn't do martyrs good. They're all Socio/Psychopaths, so they don't care about anyone but themselves, and they just don't have it in them to keep a person's memory alive long enough to become a real martyr. Once their usefulness to spark the initial outrage passes, they're forgotten.
MAGA exists today because of decades of groundwork laid by Rush Limbaugh. When was the last time you heard any MAGA mention his name? Has anyone suggested a memorial, or a documentary, or some other method of memorializing him?
Nah, he's dead, moving on...
Donvict gave him the Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2020.
But yeah, the typical reprogrammable meatbot - especially if they are younger - likely has little idea of most of their thought leaders, including Rush, who was the de facto leader of the conservatives and the Republican Party for decades.
I bet most liberals know more about the conservative thought leaders than the average conservative does, if we are to be honest.
I remember that, he did it at his State of the Union Address, and Rush cried, and looked like Holy Hell, and he died soon after, which was nice.
And yeah, Libs understand Conservativism far better than most Conservatives, that's why they're Libs. It's like Atheists generally know the Bible much better than most Christians.
The other thing is that libs tend to accumulate and use their memory. The Professional Left calls it a "liberal superpower".
It's pretty amazing to see when you see it employed by someone like Chomsky, who has seen a lot, and seems to have incorporated things he learned from people older than him, as well. That superpower seems to compound with age, at least with some people.
This is one of many reasons I think it's rather silly when I see what seems to be a purposeful and planted psyop to demand that politicians retire at 65. That just seems really dumb.
