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.

Only if the American people keep having this same reaction and don't realize that a government run by and for the rich pedophiles will only ever operate this way. It's meant to give you just enough, not to make you think something is being done, but to cynically remain passive and going to your job.
New war, country run by pedophiles, genocide reaching it's final solution, neighbors being rounded up and disappeared, nothing is affordable, your boss is an app, and the phone you're reading this from you don't even own, it's on a buy now pay later plan.
Like, I think history will have a hard time explaining the doomerism and passive inaction of Americans during this time. Usually populations that remain so inactive to their own oppression are driven by some material benefit over others or at least a false narrative of one. But Americans are just literally eating shit and going "damn, guess we'll have to hope the shit eating machine lets us vote for a reduced rate of shit in 2026".
Heads are usually rolling at this point of ruling class oppression.
Which means when the dam breaks, it's going to get real ugly, real fast.
Sadly. I disagree. I think the issue is that people view history as a collection of sudden moments. Mostly because of how history is taught that way. But the reality of living through them is much different.
The dam does not break. There is no dam. The sea level slowly rises and consumes the shoreline. Those on the edge are the first to go to the streets and demand justice. But most people will not be effected enough to be forced into action.
Generally you are right, but now and then there is a historical spasm that makes a relatively quick historical change - the American Revolution, the French Revolution, the Fall of the Iron Curtain, etc.
I think the fall of MAGA could be like that. If they rig the 2028 election for him to win again, then America normality has ended and it's time to get to some serious revolution.
"Heads are usually rolling at this point of ruling class oppression."
Looks around the world and back in history I beg to differ. Heads rolling is far and away the outlier. People can tolerate way worse than the average American lifestyle.
