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.

Duh, kinda hard to argue anything when all you get is word vomit. but hey, I'll give my best effort then.
Erm, what? Have you read nothing I've said? I said getting rid of consumerism would be a net benefit to society, but I'm not going to advocate the stupidity that you're peddling.
Clearly you didn't bother to actually explain how I benefit so I actually have no fucking clue what you're trying to say here. Considering I was pretty explicit in wanting others to be paid a fair wage so they'd have a better life I will happily be selfish in wanting a better life for others. I'll that selfishness over whatever you are.
And that was were your post ended but because you're foaming from the mouth you can't gather your before you post so you added an edit. And just for the sake of clarity, I posted my previous comment before the edit you added. Not that it matters because it's not like your edits are making any more sense.
So your counter-argument here is that I'm just straight up lying and then you proceed to insult. However once again you don't bother explaining anything so there's nothing to argue.
And then of course you couldn't stop there, you had to edit once again because thinking before speaking is not a skill you have.
Oh please do (I know you won't because that would take actual effort), because I think you haven't bothered to check who you're arguing with and you think I'm someone else. That's how little attention you paying to this discussion.
Now kindly accept my concession with something I said previously:
Wow. You're really digging your heels in deep to avoid admitting you're part of the problem and there's something you can do about it.
Entitlement and cognitive dissonance and strong forces these days. I'm sorry you can't see past them.
The irony...
