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.

Funny how they're calling for riots instead of going to the streets and rioting.
I wonder if they remember what happened to them the last time they tried that shit 🤔.

Pepperidge farm remembers. The crowd that was all about “back(ing) the blue” managed to kill a police officer and four of themselves.

Then Fox News refused to air spots the dc police wanted to put up. Fun fact

I didn’t know about that, but I’m unsurprised the fox “news” propaganda machine goes brrrrr.

Give them a break

Are you really expecting all the people posting this stuff to pay for the flight from Russia?

And the rubes who believe them here, do you expect them to exert 30 feet without their phones telling them what to do?

There are a lot of armchair generals on the Internet. Unfortunately not limited to the Republican side of things.

But the Republican ones tend to be bigger hypocrites since they usually condemn rioting when anyone else does it, especially if they aren't white.

?

These are likely the same ones that pushed 1/6 and spent a lot of time telling people to do it.

The reason they're still doing that, is they weren't the ones to actually show up.

They're not gonna stop doing it, because they didn't get any consequences from last time.

All they gotta do is keep making these posts saying someone should do something. And chances are some idiots will do it.

Like, remember that main old guy from American History X?

He got naive kids to do the dirty work, so he was able to spend decades doing it without any consequences.

For real life example, just look at Alex Jones. How long it took for him to even go to court, and how he's still not in jail or paying any judgements.

But he's still running his mouth and telling others to do the work.

This was abundantly clear to everyone on January 6th. It was so blatant that, at the time, most conservatives claimed the entire event was actually undercover BLM and "Antifa".

Then the convictions showed it truly was all Trump supporters, and now none of them are talking about it.
