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.

Yeah you need to talk to people in the real world, it will do you some good and allow you to re-calibrate your perspective to one more based in reality.
Nobody wants death, as hard as that may be for you to believe. Your conclusion is the one you arrive at when being chronically online and only seeing the worst of the worst (whether true or not or exaggerated partial truths) designed to enrage you to engage and drive algorithms.
Real people are not the political figures you see online, and the stances and beliefs of political figures cannot be automatically applied to every person who voted for them, as much as you might like that. No person is their government or their country.
You have the mindset of somebody looking for a reason why it's okay to kill 39% of the US population, which ironically gives you something in common with Nazi ideology.
If we keep calling them Nazi's and they keep calling us radical whatever's, we just end up killing each other. I think we should not do that.
You need to realize that the things you see and experience are not seen and experienced by other people and vice versa. We're all operating off of the information we have and our personal experiences. If you had the information and experiences a typical MAGA conservative had, guess what, you'd be a MAGA conservative. Don't let algorithms and political polarization make you lose your grip on humanity and treat your neighbors like scum.
This shit is why we're so divided.
