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.

A bombshell new report from CBS News suggests that the Iranian Government has murdered between 12,000 and 20,000 protesters since the ongoing, national revolt against it began.

“Information trickling out of Iran on Tuesday suggests that a crackdown by authorities to end more than two weeks of widespread anti-government protests has likely been far more deadly than activists outside the country have reported,”

Doesnt really matter who exactly is meant. They are saying theres a group of people who 'pushed' the right to extremism. Thats just bullshit. This was the goal from the start and its noone but them pushing it with lies and hate.

Conservatives are not predisposed to end as extremists.

noone but them pushing

Who is them for you? Right extremists?

[–] Jumbie@lemmy.zip 2 points 1 month ago

They sure as hell always end up in the extremes no matter where they pretend to begin.

Not all conservatives are extremists, but those who are were very much predisposed imo. And even if none of them were, they dont end up extremists by being pushed by the left. Sure some of them might use that as an excuse or even believe it themselves.

OP is arguing that the billionaires are doing the pushing.

[–] Snowclone@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Yes. They very much are intending to cause harm with every step. I'm old enough to know, they've been doing this all my life. The violence didn't start when you decided it started, it's been happening a long ass time.

OP is saying that the problem are not so much the right extremists but the billionaires who push left against right.

That's like saying Jews pushed Nazis to commit the Holocaust, or Palestinians pushed Israel to commit the Gaza genocide (Americans do say that...).

Listen to yourself.
