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.

kirk's death is doing nothing to dent MAGA oppression or do anything good but the opposite, just like i said... "Mr. Trump, who has downplayed violence from right-wing or other supporters, said that he would like to designate a range of groups, including the loosely affiliated group of far-left anti-fascism activists, known as “antifa,” as domestic terrorists and bring racketeering cases against people funding protests."

I haven't googled it in awhile but IIRC antifa just means anti fascist. It's not like an organization.

I remember when antifascist was a good thing to be. Like all the time from the 1930s to the 2010s.

[–] logi@piefed.world 33 points 6 months ago

Still is. Always will be. Especially when the fascists have power.

[–] BarneyPiccolo@lemmy.today 14 points 6 months ago (1 children)

It is still a good thing to be. Just because the Fascists don't like it, doesn't mean we have to indulge them.

[–] floofloof@lemmy.ca 6 points 6 months ago

Of course. It's just crazy that this "antifascism is bad" line gets any traction at all, and that the media don't call it out.

[–] phutatorius@lemmy.zip 13 points 6 months ago

During the Red Scare, people were persecuted for being "premature anti-fascists." See, at first, the only pushback was coming from the socialists and commies.

If you're anti fashism, you're anti (future) America and need to be dealt with because you're a terrorist. /s

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 7 points 6 months ago

It's an idea, and you can't kill an idea. Especially a fucking obvious one like that you should resist fascism however you can
