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.

scabs. they’re the equivalent of scabs. are scabs at a labor strike ok with you?
i’d like to continue our thread here. i am starting to understand something about your train of thought. see my scab reply and let me know what you think there. or here. either way.
to me, the logistics trucker that puts his humanity at risk by trucking for the nazi camps is … I get it. he’s working class, paycheck to paycheck… but that’s a formula we’ve seen before huh?
a scab in a nursing home or shipping dept or air traffic control is the same formula.
remember, what the first nazi cohorts did was legal when they did it. the camps. the logistics. all of it. (except for that long knives thing)
are we to forgive folks just following orders? just getting by? maybe the trucker is more human than the director of the camp, sure.
i am still going to remind him and others, for the rest of their lives, they supported this “legal” monstrosity of death.
I'm done. I'm fucking done. You've moved the goalposts so far beyond the original that I don't think we're even in the same state we started out in.
Bottom line: You were espousing dangerous rhetoric given how flippantly people around here resort to calling others nazis (the subjects of articles and other users both). You can't just deem/call someone a nazi and use that as an excuse for "anything goes". I've explained how that is a dangerous cocktail.
Say what you will. If it's in violations of the rules, it'll probably get modded. If the behavior repeats, you may get a ban. That's not specific to you; it applies to everyone. In no way are mod actions here to be interpreted as anything other than maintaining a civil atmosphere and adherence to the community rules and the LW TOS.
Don't like it? Go over to YPTB and whine and spin another tall tale about how mods here are fascist bootlickers because we won't let people screech for violence. Or you can go find another community that allows that kind of bullshit. Frankly, I don't give a fuck.,
I've explained the rationale behind the mod actions clearly and more than once. If you don't get it by now, I'm not going to entertain you any further.
