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.

You're actively advocating for citizens to be punished for decisions made by people in the ruling/investment class, while also advocating they commit violence that they will be jailed for. That's honestly kind of impressive.
Maybe try fining the people that pick the investments instead?
fining? fining does not work on the owning classes. that’s “just business.”
they. need. prison.
You 100% ignored my response.
I said initially said to jail the fucks fueling this. You then said we should penalize the people with 401(k)s. I tried to shift the blame back to the people actually picking the damn stocks.
i’m saying proportional response is the key - the ppl picking the stocks and the people owning them. i 100% included your cohort in my response. they ALL need to be given credit for these corporate crimes.
No. No you didn't. NO ONE picks the damn stocks in their retirement account - not 100%.
You either don't understand how retirement accounts work in the US or you don't care.
right. no one picks but they FUND. so when they are punished for funding - the SYSTEM will change. stop being thick.
Take your own advice. Most people do not look at the fucking stocks in their retirement portfolio.
Also, "stop being thick" - you're not from the US, are you? Literally no one here uses that phrase. Maybe stop advocating violence like you did a few comments ago?
where did I advocate violence? the violence here is the corporations. also, I am US .. maybe a diff generation? I’m over 40. /shrug.
Literally the comment that was removed. Weird how the modlog has your edited comment as your comment instead of your original one.
100% same. Over 40. US based. No one says "thick" here.
ok so - yeah I tried to edit the comment thinking the “edit” would show me the og comment - I wanted to know what was “too far” for this thread. sigh. i was probably indeed too hyperbolic. though I know I didn’t mention “the wall” lol.
still getting used to how comments and edits work on lemmy. so you can’t see the original one either? thanks for looking though.
anyway back-forth aside thanks for the replies and also fuck the criminal corporations. 💚
Agreed.
