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.

Bunch of clowns
How exactly is not wanting genocide a bad thing?
Generally when you make yourself look like an idiot in the process
"Love your neighbor as yourself ... unless it makes yourself look like an idiot, then genocide your neighbour" — Jesus
Because you can't close down a National Monument and achieve anything.
Protesting is useless?
If their goal was to make the news. Then they achieved it.
If their goal was to spread a message. Then they achieved it.
I could go on, but I fear you don’t care for facts.
Political stunts are the same as changing your Facebook profile picture these days, it does and means nothing.
How is this a political “stunt”? Our constitution grants us the ability to demonstrate for very good reasons. You like not working weekends, that was changed because of protests. Women enjoying the right to vote, demonstrations made this happen. The civil rights movement, was one of the largest protests in our nations history. But I guess they should have just “changed their Facebook photo” instead.
Protests work best when the alternative is violence or the threat there of.
We got the worker rights by killing owners, gay rights by riot, civil rights by armed minorities, etc.
So protesting is useless?
Only if there is no impact. Protests must disrupt enough people to be effective.
Ideally. Yes. But not always. Sometimes just changing enough people's minds, or educating those who witness the protest can be enough.
You’re right.
Armed resurrection it is.
Ok, I know what you meant, but is armed resurrection regrowing a severed limb or coming back to life with a couple of AKs?
Hahaha, fuck that’s a dog pants sort of question now isn’t it.
Maybe it’s when you have just an arm left and the rest of you grows back from that arm?
lol
Disrupt the means of production, transportation, and sales of goods. Protest by stopping rail lines, air ports, and highways. Violence won't solve anything, but messing up the flow of goods is going to put the biggest spotlight on your cause.
Violence won't solve anything, but starving people (specifically poor people) will?
Protesting is clown behavior now?
