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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

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.

They want a civil war. That’s what they want.
But if a civil war was given to them it would work to their benefit. There’s reason why they want one, the issue is that they just can’t start it out-right start it.
It’s clear no one is coming to save regular honest human beings.
It’s clear something sinister is happening in USA and spreading, and in the states it is unmanageable.
Realistically… no one is coming to save you, and you need to be careful who you put faith in, because chaos is now, and chaos beyond politics and sides.
We shouldn’t be feeling comfort in America, and the discomfort should be creating something solid for us to call a real foundation. But…the comforts we escape to… are practically feeding this cancerous growth.
This is each of our problem, now how can it fixed?
I don't know if it can be fixed. Nearly everyone I know irl is refusing to ~~watch~~ engage with the news and are instead burying their heads in sand, waiting till the next election. And these aren't like Facebook zombies, they're intelligent people with well developed critical thinking skills. The barrage of bad news made them shut everything out, and now they are shocked at the things that do slip through to them.
The friends that are planning to be safe spaces don't have a single clue about opsec. It's admirable they want to do that, but they've already been compromised and dont realize it
I mean even news and politics is basically completely compromised. I don't see any hope in clinging to the old ways anymore.
Then let's create new ways, away from all this BS dog and pony show. The old ways lead right back to this, always.
I mean, less consumerism, to start.
There’s psychology to this.
Soon, very soon, MAGAS will begin to feel the effects. They are mean and violent. The orange TACO felon will turn against them because they don't matter a wit to him. The criminals in the white house will hire thousands at taxpayer expense to kill anyone who is not loyal to the crime boss. The plan has always been to have half the workers kill the other half. The way to fix this is to develop mutual interests with the other side. Here's how.
Fucking love Gary's Economics
Gary's Economics is a kickass source of level-headed info.
I think first we need to see if there is a political solution. If Trump loses enough support or somehow we manage to have midterm elections that aren’t messed with too egregiously and swing to the democrats, then we could get there peacefully. Another possibility is Trump’s health fails and there isn’t a clear successor that is powerful enough to unite his base of support.
While we can hope for those two possibilities to give us a chance at not seeing total fascism in America, I do share your perspective. Things aren’t good and we are very likely in a time just before things get very bad. No one is going to save you. Maybe some meaningful, clear-eyed resistance organizes (in which case civil war is possible), but you should start making arrangements. Either get out now, or figure out a few plans for what you’d do if you had to quickly react to something like that.
