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.

Nnnnno, I'm suggesting that unless you have a question that you want answers to there's not much point in investigating something. Even a fact-finding mission has a goal, so whats the goal with investigating this?
"why were these fucking files destroyed?"
How is that not abundantly obvious? Answer: it is.
Yeah, this is exactly my initial point. You already have that answer - the BoP's team's job was to, among other things, preserve relevant material (ergo the rest aren't preserved). Shredding documents is so routine that they have a shredded document dumpster, so presumably documents are regularly shredded when they are deemed not worth preserving.
I admittedly didn't read the article, but if anything people are saying itt is true then some investigation would be required. Honestly I am way too fatigued to read every article about these fascists. If I hadn't seen 100 pieces of undeniable evidence about their crimes, I'd probably be less likely to make quick judgements like these 🤷♂️
While I 100% understand and sympathize with the fatigue, maybe you should read the article before you spend a couple hours calling someone stupid. At the very least it would give you more ammunition.
This is not what happened. At all. So I'm back to assuming anything you said is false.
You use the term stupid to describe what I'm saying, and repeatedly insult me / my argument while admitting you don't have context for what you're arguing about. So yes, that's exactly what happened.
No, it isn't
I went back and re-read because your lies made me second guess myself. Nope. At no point did I even imply you were stupid. I said you seemed to be calling me stupid. So awesome convo man. I'm so convinced that we should absolutely not investigate this. /s
You literally use the word "stupid" to characterize my arguments, I don't... know how you could possibly be denying that.
Absolutely a lie and you know it. Blocking you now
Dear sweet jesus what just happened.
