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, 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.

I have attended protests and will do so again, but I have no illusions that the fascists will simply ignore them. This may build up more frustration from people, but the sooner we can plan a general strike the better. The nazi ticks are just burrowing deeper.
The protests by themselves are certainly inadequate, despite the impressive turnout. What makes the difference is what we do with them. Last time I went out, I distributed statements, made contacts and even received some donations. People are seeking out fighting perspectives. They need organization and leadership.
It’s an hour long protest. What does anyone think that will accomplish. The “tree huggers” chain themselves to things ffs.
If you complain something won't do anything, then you must propose a better thing or the only thing you want is apathy.
Was "chaining themselves to trees" not clear?
He literally gave an example of a more committed response. We're lazy
Then chain yourself to a tree.
That's such a bad interpretation. They need your support to chain themselves to a tree.
Try something like this, and Im serious:
-if you tie yourself to a tree I will tie myself to a tree
-I cant tie myself to a tree because I have legitimate health condition but I will check in on you and share your progress with all my friends
-I totally support you tieing yourself to a tree. I want to see this happen and I admire anyone who would go that far.
Shaming them will only make them bitter... now maybe that is what you want.
Here's how things will go: See those starving women and children in Gaza? This is what will happen to Americans, and much of the world.
Their own leadership thinks they are redundant, and no longer have to hide their sheer malevolance.
Shit don't suggest organizing. That's insanity.
I do, and it gets moderated and I get banned. You know this. Don’t be a cunt.
Oh no, not moderated! Sounds like you are ready and willing to actually do something, as long as it doesn't come with the mildest of inconveniences.
Sounds like you love everything that’s going on.
It sounds to me like your solution is violence, but that's actually a bad idea. Of course I can't actually argue for or against this "idea" you totally have, because you haven't stated it.
Although when you come out swinging with insults right out of the gate, it kinda reveals a lot.
What does it reveal?
I mean, that you're a bit of an asshole.
But aren’t we all?
Look around, how many people here start a conversation by insulting other users? If you actually took a tally, counted them up, you'd see it's fairly uncommon.
No, we are not all assholes.
And that's the kind of community I want out of Lemmy.
I didn’t start the conversation with an insult. I responded to a person insulting me with a bigger insult.
You don’t read, and THAT is what we need less of on lemmy. Cunt.
What we need is for someone to openly share addresses of the billionaires homes and start protesting there. That’s the only way we can negatively effect them. Make them scared to be comfortable in their own homes.
