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.

That’s still the most maddening part of the election to me. It’s not a question of Biden arming Israel or his nonexistent red line. It was the constant railing against voting for genocide Joe given the alternative. FPTP with the Electoral College always ends up as the lesser of two evils.
As shitty as this may be, most presidents in my lifetime have been complicit in war crimes. The difference being that the masses are finally being fed the information through social media without having to seek it out on their own.
Yup. We can't vote for the best possible outcome until our voting system lets us. Now we might never get the chance in my lifetime. The goal needed to be to vote in the best possible outcome candidate (the lesser of two evils in a binary choice election) and keep advocating for election reform. But instead we're here, with the eviler of two evils in a binary choice election, and the possibility we'll never get to vote again.
Depends on how old you are. In Germany it took only twelve years. Plus four years until the next election. So, if you survive, you have a good chance.
Germany was a relatively weak country, recently ravaged by war only 20 years earlier. We are not. Which I'm not counting as a good thing these days
Don't worry. Donnie's going to speed run it.
With Trump alienating all of your international trade partners and showing the world that the United States cannot be relied upon as a military ally while at the same time gutting your government through indiscriminate firings you'll be a relatively weak country soon enough.
