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.

I can't believe there are still people that thinks sarcasm can be easily read through text without an indicator.
"nothing interesting going on in Afghanistan"
"no obligation to any sympathizers or collaborators there"
"letting 3 people flood our country"
Touch some grass if you're so used to strawmen that this isn't immediately obvious as sarcasm.
You do realize many people don't generally read every comment in detail, especially ones they saw as right wing rethoric because of your first sentence? It's not like there is much to gain from reading such a comment properly.
Your first mistake is that the first sentence was too convincing, making any hints later that isn't a literal sarcasm indicator completely useless to a lot of people. A joke is all about the delivery, and a good comedian adjusts their delivery to their audience. By the way you react to people, I can tell you have trouble with both of those.
That sounds like a them problem. Really. If they can't read a comment that freaking short before jumping ship then don't interact with it at all.
It's a different user. I'm a third different user. Maybe read the whole thing before criticizing so strongly??
It is, but the same people that refuses to use the sarcasm indicator are the same ones that complains when people miss their sarcasm. I always say there is a non-zero chance people will miss the tone when reading text, so don't complain when people do when you refuse to use the sarcasm indicator. If you're gonna complain about it, it is now a your problem, as well.
You're right. I should have gone back to the original comment and read the username before replying. I'm surprised how many different people are reacting so defensively for a joke comment they didn't make.
