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.

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.

Oh I'm sure the response from our current regime would be as mild as it was for the fascists, sure they wouldn't think of simply mowing people down en masse as soon as they even threatened to be storming the Capitol. Gimme a break, unreal that you think that this would be in any way effective whatsoever, it's in fact exactly what the fascists are hoping for, they'd love nothing more than any reason for mass killing the opposition.
If you think that's not about to happen anyway you're a fool. And if you think this regime won't be defeated by action not lawyers or politics and that many won't be killed in the process you might as well start digging your grave now or go kiss the boot and get your uniform.
They're going to start mowing people down who are storming the Capitol anyway? Hmm, what if people aren't doing that? So, just to be clear, your plan is for people to just show up and start storming the Capitol? Cool cool, that's what I was expecting, nothing.
Oh quit being pedantic. You don't have a choice anymore. You gave it up a long time ago but seemingly haven't even realized how fucked you truely are. Have fun with your dictator. I'll be here in my democratic country waiting for you to invade us. Then you'll have your own people and ours shooting at you. That certainly will help your cause.
Just trying to get any semblance of an actual plan out of you, but all you've got, like all the other "do something!" keyboard warriors bleating online, is fuck-all. Thanks for the advice, it's fucking brilliant!
Sorry, I'm busy organizing and preparing to defend my own country against your dictator. He threatened our sovereignty yet again today and we won't stand for that. Unlike your populace. I've been getting guns and ammo ready. Buying medical supplies. Working out. Organizing with my fellow Canadians. Protesting against our ~smol pp~ so we don't end up like you.
Perhaps you should be the one to exit the keyboard realm and do something for yourself and your country.
So, you're not invading the fucking Capitol, then? Just doing what we're doing here as well then? So, you get to prep and protest, we're supposed to..... Go guns blazing into fucking DC, I guess. Neat, again, thanks for the oh so helpful advice, it's brilliant.
It's well beyond prep and protest now for you.
Well I know you have your fair share of MAGA fascists up there, your fascist nominee polling pretty well still, yet you're doing nothing more than prep and protest, youn think that's going to be enough for you, before it's "too late"? We were supposed to do "more", you best take your own advice, methinks, take those guns and go a blazin'!
Hahaha we haven't elected the same fascist twice like our neighbors. Loved him so much we asked for his rule twice. Even after he openly stated he would be a dictator for years in advance. Our own ~smol pp~ has yet to win anything and has just yesterday openly declared himself a fascist willing to over throw our charter. We still have a functioning judiciary as well and we have several larger organizations fighting to change our undemocratic first past the post system of elections to avoid another ~smol pp~ situation in the future. Our timelines are very different. There is no comparison.
