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 healthcare CEO is killed. Nothing happens. A fraud is convicted and made president with clear ties to some fucked up sex circle that hungers on power and money. Nothing happens. ICE shoots people. Nothing happens. The world is boiling because of climate change. Nothing happens. At this point I'm just here to watch the downward spiral. People don't care enough to take action and they just let things happen. They'll say: oh that's so bad. But won't take action. We should stand together and make the world a better place. Yes that requires effort, shocker. /rant

It seems like Americans have been living in a cave or something.

National Guardsmen slaughtered students singing songs at Kent State and UNM in 1970, some were bayoneted. No one was held accountable, leadership was promoted.

20 years from now , you guys will be electing ex-ICE thugs as Senators and Congressmen. Yes you will. Ronald Reagan sicked the army on Berkely students and then they all elected him POTUS when they got rich later in life.

While Europe is doing better I think we're still bootlickers of the US. Also we need to get the entire world on board. No one has been able to explain to me how someone can have a private jet, 8 houses, 432 cars and a horse while millions are starving.

Well, a song was made. (Linking to unofficial video which includes relevant pics) https://youtu.be/JCS-g3HwXdc

Try singing it to ICE officers and you'll get shot.

Government will never charge ICE or others for their crimes because government needs thugs that they can guarantee impunity. Same reason January 6th seditionists were pardoned, Trump needs them soon.

I disagree with your post fundamentally. You say nothing happens and no one does anything, but I argue people are actively and willfully supporting and enabling and maintaining the status quo that leads to all these abominations and horrible disasters.

It isn't apathy. It's willful weaponized evil and ignorance and corruption and greed and selfishness and on and on. It's an entire political party/movement that celebrates ignorance and hate and racism and lies and fear and pure evil.

Apologies. I meant that nothing happens to fight it. I thought that'd seem clear from my standpoint but I could've been clearer. So I don't think you disagree but misunderstood :)

The Oligarch orchestrated division, debt slavery and almost complete state media takeover is working full stop. This has been the plan since 80s and it's been fully implemented.
