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.

And it literally isn’t relevant to this discussion. However, you not knowing shit about me is relevant because you are casting judgement.
You don’t know if I have protested, or how I did it. You don’t know if I sabotaged things while I was in the military. You don’t know shit. If not for the fact I told I used to be in the military, you wouldn’t even know whether you were talking to an adult. Could you imagine saying what you just did to a literal child in real life? No, you’re protected by your anonymity which allows you to say whatever you want without repercussions.
You’re assuming I am weak-willed and haven’t done anything because of the nation I am from. You’re casting judgement on a person, not through the lens of reason but through the lens of hatred.
You are a hate-filled person who cannot see beyond a flag to see a human being. You are actually just as bad as the people who put Trump in power, and talking to people in the way you do will encourage them to be even more apathetic instead of getting them to do anything. You are literally helping Trump stay in power by shitting on Americans alongside him, instead of encouraging Americans to do something. Make sure to send him your invoice, bro
You went into the military, knowing full well the military is primarily used to oppress others.
You ARE weak-willed.
I signed my contract as a literal child who had been fed propaganda for their entire life. Once disillusioned by the reality, I fought for an entire year to get out so that I could avoid going and doing precisely that. I had familial and societal pressure to join.
I literally attempted suicide to avoid actually being used to oppress others. I’ll ask you the same question I asked the other - would you slice yourself open as a protest against the unjust or would you just hide behind a keyboard belittling people who have actually fought this government?
