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.

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.

Anarchists.
In charge.
Roll that around in your mind a bit.
Anarchist: steals the throne and adds it as just another seat around the table where everyone's voices matter
That's not anarchist? Burn the chair and the table. There you go.
Your definition of anarchy is what they try to sell on Fox News. That's not what it actually is. Anarchism is actually a very structured system that opposes a ruling class controlling people and grants more freedom to the individuals to govern.
Fox News just takes the most extreme way in which anarchism can go wrong and promotes that as the default state.
I want to extend on this.
Anarchist thought is the awareness that true control/authority is an illusion and entities have an inherent freedom to disobey and choose according to their own will but also that they have to live the consequences of any actions.
To create order in anarchy is to realise that your own interests co-align with those of others and that working together to build a better world where we navigate anarchy rather then dismiss it is key to create a condition where people can flourish and mutual freedom and respect can emerge naturally.
I like how
during COVID. We're gonna be decades getting back to 10 years ago, but it's good to know what label to assign to hayseed epidemiology.
Why are we trying to get back to anything from a decade ago? Shit sucked back then too. Let's try something new
E: just wanted to add, im an anarchist that's literally working towards medical school so that I have the knowledge and autonomy to provide free, real healtcare as part of my praxis. We aren't all hillbillies, and even if we were that's still a bullshit take
I mean not exactly, anarchism is about no hierarchy meaning its actually very involved with hearing all the voices. Destruction is not inherently anarchistic
That’s not what the British/French aristocracy who bastardized and propagandized the concept of Anarchism want you to believe.
Even ancaps wouldn't burn it.
I know that anarchism revolves around dismembering institutions, but that's a perfectly good chair!
Anarchism in practice is mostly finding perfectly good chairs in the dumpster then asking around if any one needs it.
Replace chair with bike, banana, computer, etc. and you have described probably what 90% + of anarachist movements actually spend their time doing. Oh and gardening. Anarchists often spend quite a bit of time gardening too.
I so badly want to get into gardening and grafting fruit onto trees around town, but I have a brown thumb. When I ignore my yard, I grow the most gorgeous fields of flowers, trees, and other plants mildly toxic to my dogs. But anytime I actually try... I've killed succulents...
If you really want to, hit me up. I've got about 40 trees and several very large garden beds.
Maybe start small with a tomato in a pot in a sunny spot.
I'm seriously going to hold you to that. If you recommend tomatoes, I'll start with that, thank you!
Consider me held.
As an anarchist, the only thing I want to be in charge of is my morning piss and my after coffee shit.
Makes perfect sense… If you have the IQ of Tommy Tuberville.
That's a thing, but it's just direct democracy
Sounds like something an idiot would say, hopefully people with that intellect level never have real authority....oh... I kinda said that oh in my head like a Plinket review does
One of my biggest reasons for being an anarchist is that idiots shouldn’t be in charge.
And everyone is an idiot.
