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.

Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.

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.

It IS important you and the other dude are right I don't mean to diminish it completely I am just so burnt out on all this shit going on... So, so badly fatigued with it all.
I voted today for one of the only ones that didn't take AIPAC money and part of me feels good about that!
And then the realist in me knows that that specific candidate has a zero percent chance of winning. I could have stayed home and shit all over my bedroom floor and it would have had the same exact effect.
I've made SO many signs and gone to so many organizational events and talked and talked and, at one point even believed, BELIEVED it was all going to make a difference and I'm just fucking tired of lying to myself and everyone else around me at this point in time.
We ALL know how to actually fix it and I can't type it here or I'll probably get permabanned but we all know the fix. Its a tale as old as time.
So, I'm kind of trying that method now. Let's just fucking put it all full out on display and stew in it until the pressure cooker builds and we all take up arms and fix the problem at the root. This wishful thinking and organizing bullshit isn't working anymore.
So maybe if enough people get angry and despair enough to the point where they think they might kill themselves instead they will realize that the suits are the ones that need killing.
We got a little glimpse of it with that Luigi dude. Everyone loved his ass and the suits couldn't believe it. Clutching their pearls and wearing that stupid look on their face like they just can't wrap their heads around WHY people want them to fucking die.
I have been drinking a bit so this is probably sounding WILD but the fact of the matter is that it is the cold hard truth of it now.
Signs, peaceful protests, voting all of it is wishful thinking at this point in time.
What we need to be doing is blocking all the exits on all the senators and congressmen and state representatives houses and burn them alive inside them until we pry this country back from the hands of the rich parasitic class.
Seriously, its all public. We can all find out right now where every single one of them live its trivially easy and I just keep waiting for the day that it pops off and it hasn't ever come and I'm afraid now that it won't.
So, we have people make signs and sing songs and being awareness and that's all great I've done that too and I love the vibe.
But haven't we been doing that since Reagan? It has just gotten worse. And worse. And worse. And worse. And worse. And worse.
Its like credit card debt, every year we get 30% worse. Lose 30% more freedoms. Have 30% more of the wealth consolidated in the nice manicured lotioned hands of people who have never had to do a day of work in their entire lives.
I'm tired of pretending that signs and songs are going to fix it. Its not.
I definitely think burning the people responsible for this administration alive in their homes is a great solution
I'm not being sarcastic They need to die.
