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.

We should schedule a march for guillotines that same day

[–] njm1314@lemmy.world 24 points 6 days ago

You're saying you're going to get them all in the same place huh? Excellent.

[–] art@lemmy.world 23 points 6 days ago (3 children)

I'm here for the march, where do I park my Cybertruck?

[–] LordMayor@piefed.social 25 points 6 days ago

Just leave it in that bicycle lane over there. There’s room on the crosswalk.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

the cybertruck doubles as a charcuterie cutter, might be useful.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

In the middle of their march, if you could.

[–] baller_w@lemmy.zip 15 points 6 days ago

Luigi intensifies…

[–] peaceful_world_view@lemmy.world 11 points 6 days ago

Nuke them all from orbit, it's the only way to be sure.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 14 points 6 days ago

It's not going to happen and we all know it, it's funny as fuck to imagine and on some deeply repressed level they know it, that's why they knew it would get publicity.

[–] Rooty@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago

I stopped reading after "AI startup".Everything these clowns do is a publicity stunt aimed at sucking up VC money and splitting before the jig is up.

[–] santa@sh.itjust.works 10 points 6 days ago

The march will be online of ai generative clones of 1 million Eric’s!

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 10 points 6 days ago

LOL, this is going to be hilarious.

I seem to remember some group would dress up in top hats and monocles with satirical signs supporting the parasitic elite.

[–] qarbone@lemmy.world 7 points 6 days ago

Beat him to death, with hammers.

[–] Derpenheim@lemmy.zip 8 points 6 days ago

The one march that wont have any threats of violence against it, because the people that do that are bootlickers

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago

Financial obesity is an existential threat to any society that tolerates it, and needs to cease being celebrated, rewarded, and positioned as an aspirational goal.

Corporations are the only ‘persons’ which should be subjected to capital punishment, but billionaires should be euthanised through taxation.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Every healthy society needs a robust guillotine maintenance and repair workforce.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Rope is cheaper and more readily available.

[–] nonentity@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 days ago

It’s a job guarantee program, and you can only legitimately claim something is expensive when you don’t properly value what it does.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 3 points 6 days ago

its like the guy that want a pro-rape rally, but cancelled later on because it pussied out.

[–] rumba@lemmy.zip 3 points 6 days ago

Surely millions of people will protest on their behalf. It's not like they're going to get their fat asses out there.

[–] sircac@lemmy.world 1 points 6 days ago

They may call that a walk among the plebe, the 1% march doubt could be larger than a neighbourhood meeting...

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 142 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I assume they just hire people to march on their behalf.

[–] Diplomjodler3@lemmy.world 80 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago) (1 children)

And then stiff them on their pay.

[–] Lodespawn@aussie.zone 54 points 1 week ago

You laugh but here in Australia when the Labor government was pushing for a Minerals Resources Rent Tax (MRRT) the big miners made their staff go attend a "protest" on Perth Foreshore during business hours.

[–] vpol@feddit.uk 122 points 1 week ago (14 children)

I see a bunch of billionaires in one place as an opportunity.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 16 points 6 days ago (2 children)

9 out of 10 who claim to be billionaires at that march, won't be billionaires.

And the other one is lying, too.

[–] P00ptart@lemmy.world 2 points 6 days ago

Doesn't matter to the hammer.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

99,999 out of 100,000, more like.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 12 points 6 days ago

I think that's exactly why they probably won't have any showing up.

Or else they send proxies. If I was some assistant for one of these fuckers and they asked me to go, I think I'd call in sick that day. No way I'd want to be a meat shield for one of these dickheads.

[–] markz@suppo.fi 39 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Like the guy wouldn't just pay a bunch of people to show up

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 17 points 6 days ago

Actually came here to say this. This will be like those "supporters" that showed up to watch Pedonald come down that escalator. Paid actors.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 1 points 6 days ago

It'll never happen, this is just performative cuntishness.

I'll bring the guillotine.

Yes, get them all in one place…

[–] AnchoriteMagus@lemmy.world 34 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Wow.

Turns out, if you try hard enough, you can find a protest that you want your police state to crack down on.

If only one more rally ever gets tear-gassed, I hope it's this one.

“Vilifying billionaires is popular. Losing them is expensive.”

If this isn't a Honeypot it is absolutely hilarious that think that billionaires being "lost" is them leaving the country/state

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 9 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It sounds like yet another dumbass that had their brain scrambled by the horrible sci-fi writer named Ayn Rand, who was even worse at philosophy than she was at writing prose. Surprised they aren't just outright saying they are threatening to "go Galt". 🙄

There are two novels that can change a bookish fourteen-year old’s life: The Lord of the Rings and Atlas Shrugged. One is a childish fantasy that often engenders a lifelong obsession with its unbelievable heroes, leading to an emotionally stunted, socially crippled adulthood, unable to deal with the real world. The other, of course, involves orcs.

[–] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Atlas Shrugged is insufferably pretentious trash.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 4 points 6 days ago

I could not agree more. At one point, I was Libertarian and was always told what great lit it was and it would explain so much, etc. Some time later I was no longer Libertarian and doing lots and lots of reading due to a layoff and trying to find something positive (and free, thanks to good libraries) to fill my time with in between responding to recruiters and job interviews, etc.

I decided I'd finally read Atlas Shrugged. The magnum opus. The book so many Libertarians point to. I had the time and the library had the book, so why not?

And....oh gawd. What drivel. What a shitty philosophical system. I had to force myself to finish reading it. LOL. And then shortly after, I started seeing all these "who's John Galt?" and "gone Galt" stickers on cars.

Gag.

[–] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 3 points 6 days ago (1 children)

They've been huffing their own farts for so long, they don't know what clean air smells like.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 2 points 6 days ago

and having sycophants telling that they dont smell anything, or it smells good.
