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.

IIRC, this happened after Fight Club came out as well.

After a while, they end up pretty fucked up. There's always some young dude that gets a life-changing injury that scares them all straight.

Same thing with motorcycles and military bases. A bunch of dudes come back from deployment and buy crotch rockets. It's all invincible BDE until someone's buddy does 90pmh over the side of a highway onramp and flips 30 times into oncoming traffic. Then all their wives make them sell their bikes the next week.

Follow me for more discount motorcycle buying tips.

Nazis giving themselves TBIs might be a good thing, or it might just make them more unstable.

Hand to hand combat just isn't all that relevant when AR-15s are available to anyone for $400.

Not disputing the effectiveness or access regarding guns, but a significant portion of altercations at protests are cqc. Tides can change quickly in these situations, especially with mobs and the chaos they bring. Knowing how to handle yourself in these situations isn't entirely useless.

Either way, the fact they appear to be increasingly committed and organized around inflicting violence is a pretty clear signal on future intent. Hope for the best and prepare for the worst, I suppose.

Close Quarters Combat if any other normies were wondering.

We've all played Metal Gear, thanks. Jeez

I don't really think any of us are normies

A lot of people seem to want to portray these guys as harmless buffons but they've been at this and escalating for awhile now..

Some of them might be idiots but there are very serious, very dangerous people involved and you'd be stupid to underestimate them.

Wannabe UFC fighters with extremely limited skill and intellect knock themselves out trying to prove to themselves that they are imen.

Gay guys have been meeting up secretly in the woods for millennia. This isn’t news.
