News
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 not the time nor place. Try to picture yourself outside of the USA for at least a second for once. A capital city was bombed and its leader was abducted. I'm not Venezuelan but I wouldn't give a fuck about internal American pedo drama when placed beside an American oil occupation of my country
So the time and place to call Trump a corrupt, criminal fascist isn't now? We should keep our criticism of him to just curren the current scandal? What purpose does this type of moderation serve in an open discussion?
I would take your point of this was an article about Palestine and OP was being pro-israel, but at most it was a bit flippant.
I'm not in the US. What gave you that idea anyway?
That's not what this is though and it'd be fine if that's what it was. Instead, this is focusing on the one aspect of the event that only affects Americans without acknowledging that the USA just bombed another, potentially taking the lives of innocent peoole
Edit: sort of just repeating my last comment in a different thread but imagine if the USA just bombed Ottawa, Canada and abducted Mark Carney, the PM of the country. Would you still just default to talking about the Epstein files?
*edit 2: responding too quickly and didn't catch that you're not American
Yeah and imagine if someone from Venezuela popped up to say "hey Fuck Trump, he invaded us too!" Is that a different thing they're not allowed to talk about at that place and time?
Plenty of people getting hurt by the Trump admin and feeling angry about it. In the end we're all just saying fuck Trump here, what's the problem?
(Also arguing OP or I are too American or too somewhere else to understand your perspective is actually just demonstrating the behaviour you think you're calling out).
so on the national stage I guess it worked
