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.

Man, I'd been ignoring the dread and focussing on the cool parts of the future that are coming, but this thread mamaged to break through my shield and fill me with a decent amount of WW3 dread

Just think, this time the USA is going to wait until things are awful and then join on the side of the bad guys.

I honestly dont see the States keeping as one country if it falls to ChristoFacism, but the States breaking apart will give a whole lot of regimes fuel to start expanding

The US breaking apart would be pretty hard considering how mixed together the two sides are.

I'm pretty sure Christo Facists trying to bring about the Handwives Tale isnt going to go down without a whimper

The hilarious thing is if they ever actually tried it in a way that wasn't utterly cowardly it would absolutely fail with barely a whimper because these people are incredibly inept and pathetic by and large.

They would come crawling back to the 'North so to speak, like the pathetic lonely racists they are.

Which parts of the future are cool? I'm actually not joking. I can't think of anything that's cool except maybe self driving vehicles. But I fear that day is still quite a ways, decades, off.

If you look past the fear mongering and how capitalists are using it, AI tech is already cool. Crispr and the fact that we are roughly at genetic modification now where we were with Computers in the 80's with a human trial for a gene modification therapy for a genetic disease already happening this year, VR and AR has some really nifty gaming uses already, and we're starting another manned mission to the moon. All of that is immediately cool, but boring you dont think of cool is how powerful our cellphones are, most of us now have a tiny black obelisk connected to NOTHING that allows us to talk to someone across the planet who doesnt speak the same language us with a delay of less than a few seconds, and still have them understand us. Our world has already changed SO MUCH in the last 30 years technology wise, and there isnt really anything hinting that that rate of advancement is going to slow to a significant degree, so while the political and environmental instability the world is currently facing is indeed scary, if we are in the position to survive the next 30 years, we're likely to see even more tech that would seem like magic even in todays eyes

edit: On top of all that, because of the internet, the rich have only been able to delay any of this cool tech getting into our hands, not fully stop it, so as much as they've been trying to lock down the internet, as long as they havent, we'll still eventually get access to these awesome new advancements

This election already has a few commonalities with '80.

Potential or real stagflation. A President that's seen as ineffective (despite some pretty okay policies). And a morally corrupt Republican.

On the other hand, Carter didn't help genocide or cover for it.
