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.

That's not what I said, but thanks for going on a tangent to correct me.
Yeah, it's sickening that one of the proudest democracies in history is clearly faltering.
However, I thought they taught Americans about the responsibility of democracy. Hell knows we here you bang on about it when invading the rest of the world.
That you're somehow still focused on "Democracy" ("proud" no less) rather than "genocide" is mind-boggling. You can't pretend to be self-righteous about American invasions and then just say "whoops, a little genocide, not really important in the grand scheme of things though".
Classic American, lecturing the world on the ethics of things. .
I'm not lecturing the world. I'm lecturing you. You have shitty morality.
Poor take.
You could have shown some contrition or humility. It is Your government, that represents You that is encouraging ethnic cleansing abroad and also creating concentration camps for immigrants at home, making You complicit.
And you are complicit, whether that is against your will or not.
Instead of recognising that, you chose to try and teach me about morality and now have decided to judge me.
This is what makes you a hypocrite.
As I say, I feel like being lectured on morality by an American is a common occurrence. You love to tell people how to think and behave whilst you elect rapists and invade countries. And it isn't just Trump I'm talking about. The US has nearly an unbroken record of inflicting trauma on the world, whether that is over oil, or politics.
And you've benefitted from that, and done what? Banged out some judgemental words on a keyboard?
You are behaving exactly like why the world is tired of Americans. You are a bully and a blowhard. You have no humility and you can't walk away from a fight you lost before you even started.
Saying we're complicit and should try everything we can to stop it is the whole fucking point. Amazing that you came around to that without ever getting it.
I'm not unclear about whether this is a horrible moral tragedy. You're the one downplaying that. A lack of power to change it isn't a moral failing. An unwillingness to even correctly acknowledge the seriousness is.
And you appear to be British. You don't have a leg to stand on about complicity in imperialism both historically and in recent American efforts. If we are both defined by the sins of our nations we're both living in glass houses. I'm at least acknowledging our sins.
Great work Sherlock.
I'm not British but I live in Scotland since it is a country that doesn't lock immigrants up in concentration camps.
This is a mind numbingly stupid comment.
