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.

They can choose to take the money and not do whatever it is Musk is telling them to do.
This is the absolute black-and-white with-us-or-against-us purity spiral that I've been criticizing this whole thread. If you're going to refuse to support a Democrat the moment he strays slightly from your perfect ideal, even by association rather than by any actual action, then you're useless when it comes to helping America's political disaster. You just keep screaming "Nazi, nazi, nazi!" And provide no actual benefit.
This discussion well and truly Godwinned.
If someone says hey I'm taking Nazi money but it's not like I'm going to do what they want I'm just taking it you'd be a moron to believe them. I mean truly come on. You shouldn't be that naive about literally any political donation but Nazis? Really?
Earlier you said that's your Line in the Sand too. Clearly it's not. But what do you think Line in the Sand means if not black and white. If Nazis can't be black and white I don't know what your morals are. I truly don't understand. If you can't say hey Nazis suck fuck all Nazis that's weird man and you should adjust the way you look at the world. If you think not being a Nazi is too much to ask of my elected officials that's fucking weird. If that bar is too high for you I don't know what to tell you.
As for what the benefit is? There would be less Nazis. That's a benefit for everybody except Nazis. Sorry that bums you out.
( also you don't get the bitch about Godwin's law when the literal topic was a Nazi)
Money cannot be a Nazi. Only people can be Nazis.
It's just gold. Who cares whose teeth it's from?
Haha! Slam dunk!
