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.

I've already given up, long since. Now I'm just bitter and cynical. I don't care. It's easier not to. Caring hurts too bad.
The left already shot itself in the foot. I saw things coming for years in the making, and I tried rousing people to action, to prepare, to get organized before it was too late. I got ostracized. Some people even called me a fascist. They thought I was trying to control them. They never wanted to hear harsh truths like "Your enemies are preparing to destroy you. If you don't prepare to respond accordingly, you will be destroyed."
Any potential leaders have been chased out of left wing spaces. All you have left are auth-comm propaganda bots shaming people and calling them cowards for not doing enough. Generally the same auth-comm propaganda bots that shamed people and called them names whenever they were trying to do something.
It's too late now. It's hilarious seeing people scramble trying to make up for lost ground. It's too fucking late. I hope they're all happy that Kamala Harris lost! I'm sure Palestinians in Gaza are so relieved...
Fuck this shit. I could've cashed in my white privilege for a cushy job, but I chose not to because I had fundamental disagreements with the systems in place and the status quo. I refused to be a part of that machine. No one cares. Now I have enemies on all sides of the political spectrum, and no one going to bat for me. My life is in a rut that I'll probably never escape. I can't do shit to change the world.
Fuck this.
