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.

If the DogeBags end up fucking with nearly everyone's Social Security....they have not really thought this through.

This country is armed to the teeth, and if some of those armed, and crazy, people realize that YOU are one of the people directly responsible for fucking with their lifeline (we are not talking about some faceless, byzantine bureaucracy here, we are talking about idiot fElon, his DogeBags, and their asinine "move fast and break things" mentality), well....let's just say it might end very badly.

All of these people, including the incel DogeBags, probably have a lot of security detail. But that security has to work 100% of the time. The crazies only need to be successful once...

Oh how much I would to see another Luigi moment.

Call the chiropractor because he needs an adjustment.

[–] carl_dungeon@lemmy.world 24 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Nah, the armed brainwashed masses will blame the libs and brown people and continue to suck Elon and trumps knobby dicks

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh, I'm sure quite a few that are glued to their Outrage Industrial Complex will do that, but all it takes is just a few to realize that donvict put fElon and his DogeBags in there to fuck up their social security (or Medicare. or Medicaid) payments.

Even if only a tiny, tiny fraction of them realize just exactly who is to blame for such a scenario....again, it's not some faceless organization that would have done this; they have names.

more likely to bite them off!

Blaming the libs won't put food on the table.

"Three missed meals from anarchy."

Time to find out if it's true.

It doesn't even have to be the "crazies". I'm a sweetheart of a guy, but fuck with my money, and I will go straight-up gangster on a motherfucker.

I paid into the system my entire working life. It's mine.

[–] HasturInYellow@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would describe it as going feral.

[–] MyRobotShitsBolts@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

The term is radicalized.

[–] hanrahan@slrpnk.net 6 points 1 year ago

and crazy, people realize that YOU are one of the people directly responsible for fucking with their lifeline

Theb they shoukd shoot themselves for supporting the idiot with a vote.

[–] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

oh bullshit.

If the so called Armed americans havent done shit until now, they wont do anything, ever.

For what it's worth, people are usually only inclined to take action after they themselves have been hurt so badly they have no other options left. I wouldn't expect to see any political assassinations until our grandparents are losing their homes, food gets so expensive people cannot eat, censorship has taken away comforts like porn, and unemployment is incredibly high

Once all of that happens and still no action is taken by anyone, then yeah I'll agree most gun nuts only collect firearms to LARP getting to kill minorities.

[–] CharlesDarwin@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

I'd imagine if some redcap went off their rocker and did something extreme against donvict, fElon, or one of their lackeys that martial law (or marshal law if you use donvict's spelling) would be declared and guns would be getting confiscated at quite a rapid clip. At least from people suspected of not being redcap enough.

Those deemed sufficiently redcap might be given some extra perks - just enough so that they are not wanting to do radical things against donvict. They would probably be pointed at out-groups and given the hint - or explicit messaging - that they won't be punished for anything they do against out-groups.

They aren't hurting yet. The Dogebags could make things, much, much worse.

If they thought they were hurting when systems operated properly and checks were paid, banking worked properly under things like the FDIC and we had one of the best economies in quite a long time....buckle up.

These guys are out to break government. That will be absolutely make people absolutely miserable. If they thought "Bidenflation" was excruciating, they ain't seen nothing yet.

I have seen nothing from the gun folks to indicate they'll do anything other than cheer on Trumpsk while they burn the nation down. You have to have some brains, ambition and organization to do anything like that.
