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. Keep on-topic


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, 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 need a replacement before going anywhere near a route like that, and honestly we straight up shouldn't go that route at all.

Another user said it much better than I ever could, but we need a viable and organized replacement before violence, and way before that we need to attempt it without violence otherwise we are no better than them and they have an easier time conning others to see any movement other than capitalism as the enemy.

We haven't even attempted a general strike without it having a set end date for fucks sake. We have tried nothing and we're all out of ideas.

So… we’ve been attempting it without violence for decades. This is no different than anything else. Non-violence, violence, organized chaos, anarchy….

It doesn’t fucking matter. There’s FAR more greed than generosity. There’s far more hate than love. There’s far more compliance than defiance.

There IS no fighting this shit in any conceivable way where the outcome is a net positive. They won a LONG time ago. We’re only just waking up to notice it now.

The real question is, what happens when you create a power vacuum and nothing in place to equalize the pressure?

[–] LooseLemons@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago (1 children)

You’re right. I’m just pissed.

I get it. Honestly I'm there most of the time. Sick of greedy fuckers
