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.

They found more pipe bombs in a bedroom inside Mr. Spafford’s house, loosely stuffed in a backpack that bore a patch shaped like a hand grenade and a logo reading “#NoLivesMatter,” prosecutors said.

No Lives Matter is a nihilistic, far-right ideology that largely exists on encrypted online messaging apps like Telegram

The guy is white, so let's try the good old Ctrl+F "terror" and yup, sure enough, zero results.

Guess Italian isn't white enough after all since they have no problem throwing that terrorism charge on an actual working class hero, Luigi

He killed one of the rich instead of a minority

[–] perslue@lemmy.ca 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reading about who were considered white 100-150 years ago is a wild ride. It basically meant brits, Germans, and french. I guess us scandis as well, but nobody really cared about us at that point (to the extent anyone do nowadays). Italians were basically the brown people of europe, and I guess that's how they managed to go with terrorism charges.

I think a bunch of it had to do with Catholicism too. Anglos didn’t like that either.

I care about you scandiwegans, I especially respect your needs for personal space, cold weather and cheap healthcare.

It's fun living in colder climates and having unironic discussions where people are agreeing that -10° C is a nice winter temperature since it's still relatively warm, but you don't have to worry about slushy, frozen roads or high humidity.

Oh yeah, cold is my favorite, I’ve always lived in the northern US. The main problem with living in the far north is the mosquitoes in the warmer months.

It’s been depressing how much less snowy our winters have been since my childhood 40 years ago.

To be fair. In the 1900-1960 eugenics movement in the US, italians, greeks etc. were considered inferior compared to the “purest” races of northern europeans.

Luigi was actually the son of the owner of Mangione Enterprises, got a masters degree from an ivy league university, and worked a desk job in tech, so not really working class. Also, terrorism is a requirement of first degree murder charges in the state of New York, otherwise they wouldn't need to give him the label.

They're explicitly using him to slander nihilists. Typical hegemonic narrative.
