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.

It's coming. They're officallt trying to "declare war" on American cities. There is going to be violent backlash, and unfortunately that's exactly what they want.

[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 93 points 6 months ago (3 children)

Yeah, I kinda think they're trying to spark a civil war. They believe they will win and then they will "purge" everyone who opposes them.

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 30 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Funny. I think the same thing would happen to MAGATs, Klanners, and the 1%.

As ever, I won't start the fight, but I intend to be the one who walks away from it. Preferably with other minorities.

[–] Glifted@lemmy.world 17 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

Yeah definitely be ready to fight if it comes to it but it's a worst-case scenario. A civil war breaking out here would be devestating to everyone

[–] SabinStargem@lemmy.today 8 points 6 months ago

No doubt about that. Unfortunately, I don't think we get a good choice.

[–] Vespair@lemmy.zip 15 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I don't believe they think they'll win, but winning isn't the goal, doing irreparable damage to America is the point. The entire goal has always been to hurt America at the behest of foreign masters, the most effective way to do that is just to ignite the powder keg of political divide that already exist.

Accelerationism

[–] drzoidberg@lemmy.world 75 points 6 months ago

There's no way out of it now. Either bend over and take the fascism, or fight for your freedom.

Peaceful protesting isn't going to do it, and good luck thinking elections are going to matter. Look what they're currently doing to the Democrat that just won the House seat. Refusing to swear them in.

We will have to kill Nazis again. If you don't, you'll have a boot on your neck till they drag you off to the next concentration camp.

I mean I don’t really know what other response one could give? “Let’s drum circle this bitch out?” The only other response I could imagine is a general strike, which I’m all for but doubt will happen

[–] HubertManne@piefed.social 15 points 6 months ago

honestly yeah. stop working. sing and dance. it was basically what happened with the hippies. they did not go get jobs and do the stuff they were supposed to.

[–] F_State@midwest.social 4 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

If things get worse slowly, people will continue to make excuses for why they can't. If things get worse quickly, the odds of a general strike increase as people get more desperate.

[–] Montagge@lemmy.zip 26 points 6 months ago (2 children)

It doesn't matter at this point. We do nothing they complete their agenda. We do something maybe they use it as an excuse to expedite their agenda.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 21 points 6 months ago

Which is exactly what I and many, many other people have been screaming for months and months. Every day you wait, it's a harder fight. So your choices are act now and suffer, or act later and suffer worse. Sucks, but that is your reality.

I hear parts of the US are "war ravaged" already.
