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.

Predictive programming, a little bit of priming. I mean science fiction is always kind of been a little truth, little fantasy, you know. All the publishers are consolidated. If your book makes it to the shelf, you know, it goes through certain censors. I mean Hollywood works directly with the Department of Defense and it changes the scripts and the trade-off is they have access to military equipment. America has a problem with idol worship. We have like a savior complex and Hollywood kind of feeds into that. Like the boomers had John Wayne, you know. Everybody is just acting out a character, unself-actualized, and everything that they want is just like a fetish. It is so gross. People lean into things because they're just trying to escape reality, you know. They don't even have the words to describe the dread of living. They have a way of masking and even lying to themselves. Everybody's self-diagnosing themselves and all this nonsense it's just and then it's all about your mental health, your mental health, bitch please we don't care about mental health we just want to say we care about mental health. It's all about managing perception, keep moving forward. The working class never gets anything done because they just watch the shadows dancing on the walls playing out their innermost desires and then they just go back to sleep again. I just think about the allegory of the cave. I know it's like simple and like anybody can use it right to prove their argument. I call it the sofist uno card. I know you are but what am I? And then I think pearls before swine, you know. If they're not ready, they're not ready. I mean you can't just force these things, which is also another conundrum. We live in false paradoxes. And in the labyrinth of stupidity, the Matador chases us out of influence, Out of the halls of power.
