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.

most of you are too chickenshit to put the heads of those responsible on a stake and that's why we're where we're at.
Cool cool. You go first, lead by example and others will follow.
If only these problems could be solved by 1 person.
What, do you need a buddy system or something for your murder spree?
it takes a mob. this is what the internet is for: so citizens can organize. they can't stop all of us.
So you spend your time on the internet trying to convince people to meet up with you irl and kill folk?
How's that working out for you, any takers?
i'm just a problem solver. i don't see how we can fix anything until the far right is destroyed. they will muddy the waters until it's too late. i'm genuinely asking you what alternative you see to making lasting change for the better. all we have to do is collectively agree that's what it's going to take and people will start figuring out how to organize.
At this point climate collapse and resource depletion is going to take care of us all by the end of the century so imo damage mitigation is our best option.
Don't have kids. Go vegan. Reduce your consumption of items produced by slavery and sweatshops as much as possible.
Basically just do as much as you can to lower the amount of suffering you create by existing.
Killing people in the name of left wing politics is going to make things worse for everyone.

True, I am too 'chickenshit' to go on my own to a person who almost definitely has multiple armed security guards to kill them and put their head on a stake. Why haven't you done it yet? Too 'chickenshit?'
it takes a mob. this is what the internet is for: so citizens can organize. they can't stop all of us.
Okay, who have you organized so far for this mob? Where and when are they meeting?
you keep asking me what i've done. what have YOU done? where's our clandestine communications? it takes cooperation.
No, I'm asking you when and where the mob is meeting. You've said there has to be a mob. When and where will the mob be? Just give us a time and a date and a place.
the point is to keep calling for one until people take it seriously enough to form one. it's a war. whose side are you on?
We can't take it seriously enough to form one unless you tell us when and where to form it. It seems like you don't really want this mob to happen since you aren't being proactive about it.
Yes. I'm on the side that wants to know when and where the mob is meeting. I'm not sure why you want me to fuck off when you want a mob. Shouldn't you want me to join?
Removed: rule 1
Keep it civil, please.
ah yes, the charade of civility. let's carry on pretending there's some shred of that left.
cowards need mobs. just start and set the trend, since everyone else is too chickenshit.
Don’t see you being arrested for doing something about it?
Imagine if that stopped people during the Civil Rights Movement.
it takes a mob. this is what the internet is for: so citizens can organize. they can't stop all of us.
Then maybe calling out the people in this thread for something you aren't doing yourself isn't a great idea. You're not calling out a mob, you're calling out us.
Unfortunately, these problems literally cannot be solved alone.
It takes collective action, which is why the working class never wins.
We literally have the most to lose.
Do you think The Purge is real or something? One day we can just kill people that deserve it?
a society can collectively do whatever it wants when it sets its mind to a task. if you don't do it first, they're gonna do it to you. don't be a victim.
I bet you're too chicken shit to go self immolate on the white house lawn, too.
What would that accomplish?
Historically, fuck all.
So what's with the original reply then? Not really adding to the conversation. In an existential crisis, people historically choose life over death, but now we're choosing the slow death.
I thought it exemplified the pointlessness of the original comment.
