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.

"I didn't like getting a paper cut, never doing that again, I'd rather get stabbed with a rusty sword next time."
First they came for the Palestinians in Gaza And I did not speak out Because I was not a Palestinian in Gaza
Is that clear enough yet? I've watched Americans dismiss the slaughter of our children as a papercut and describe the infinitely preferable (compared to your children being literally shredded to pieced daily, or a paper cut in your words) future of Americans who refused to vote for a viable candidate as being stabbed with a rusty sword.
And you expect us to be there for you when you're the last one left? Fuck you. You described an active Genocide as a paper cut, and the self-destruction of the American empire and the upcoming recession due partly because they got rid of cheap exploitative labor as a stab with a rusty sword. You lack historic perspective, empathy, morals, and certainly class consciousness.
The Democrats are not your friends, do you forget that Debbie W Schultz rejected our demand for Bernie and have us Hillary? That's how we got Trump the first time, and what did the Democrats do? They blamed us, the voters. You forget Hillary's contempt for Bernie voters and how she described him as an infiltrator?
America ruining itself is going to save millions of lives and give many counties the chance to recover from exploitation. You're just being a selfish fuck who's upset now that consequences are home.
