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.

Worst thing is those in power in the US think they’re actually winning , and the rest of the world (and actually most of the US) is just wrong!
No they do not, they don't even give two flying shits about America other than the nutcases that think they can reshape it into a white-techno-fascist-oligarchy and that they know what's best for the population as they practice super-villain speeches in the mirror. But enough Stephen Miller specifically. The rest are just trying to get their bag and run.
Those in power in the US are deliberately hiding the advancements of other countries to keep the middle-class and blue-collar workers here deluded into thinking that their 10-hour workdays with no benefits is still the best in the world because you have the "freedom" to go buy mass-produced goods at Walmart or pay $7000 to walk into the ER of your choice when you suffer a critical illness or injury.
And it works wonders. You don't need to censor the whole world or make militarized walls like North Korea (But it helps, hint hint: the "wall" they wanted to make was not to keep people out.) you just need to keep the bulk of people busy and distracted and out of touch with the rest of the world, and most people don't care about anything outside of their daily life anyway.
If you want evidence of how deliberate this campaign of mass-delusion is, just fire up your favorite media website in another country, and look how radically different the news stories are, how radically different the tone is, how huge the outside world is and what the bulk of humanity actually care about. (Usually it's everyone worried America is going to fuck everything up for everyone else.)
I don't think they think of it as winning. I don't think they care.
All they know is that several states have economies dependent on fossil fuel extraction with no other meaningful economic replacement.
Because idea of winning is different from the rest of sane people.
Aren’t they? There’s never been a time for a few can enrichment themselves so much through government, implement the most vile policies through government, ignore consequences, laws, and checks and balances through government. A few highly self-centered individuals are living out their most hateful dreams
Some of them are winning. At this point the game us shifting to an internal fight between domestic oligarchs for power and therefore profit.
