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 just here to argue, or because you like the sound of your own (ignorant) words.
Yeah, why be charitable. I'm obviously just a pretentious asshole because I seemingly disagree with everyone here.
Charity is fine for purely performative exercises, but it's now to the point where these arguments and discussions have real bearing on people's ability to live and survive. The basis of charity is that both parties must fundamentally agrees that the other side is human, and that is not the situation when discussing fascism or white nationalism.
The choice to not fight now is the choice to sacrifice people without the privilege of a racial, gender, or immigration status which is preferable to a white nationalist ethnostate. Maybe you have that privilege or maybe I have that privilege: but the difference between us is that I'm willing to sacrifice my privilege to fight for those who aren't afforded the same courtesy a despicable fascist might afford me, simply based on their assumptions around my skin or gender identity.
You wanting to police the use of violence until it's too late for that violence is something fascists are fully aware of, and which they have historically been able to manipulate to their advantage. If every time a fascist stuck their head up above the sand, it got cut off, there would be no basis for this conversation.
May I ask you what kind of violence you are already partaking in and condoning? Is it resistence to ICE, which I can sympathize with, or also stuff like the killing of Kirk? Because I think the latter is a really bad idea.
No, you may not. You should stick to the discussion at hand instead of trying to derail it into something it isn't and deal with the obvious and substantial issues with the argument you've taken.
How can you disagree with everyone here, if you're not listening to them? You are drowning in your own "wisdom"....
