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.

MODERATORS
So you'd rather we just ignore them, play nice, and then act all shocked when they start to kill people?
"I'm going to kill them before they kill me" is probably not the most ethical way to solve your problems.
You are using ethics as a valid argument about people who tried overthrowing our democracy, are threatening to kill innocent people and are actively pushing for a fascist regime taking over our country. Sure, let's just sit around, mock them, underestimate them and meme them, that'll surely stop them.
Okay, so when do you start killing?
My dude is already on a spree. It's that keyboard warrior to vigilante warrior pipeline.
While I agree with you, I would also argue that you're not dealing with ethical people. Ethics only works if it's reciprocal.
Then OP should start their killing spree I guess...
No you idiot. What the fuck is so hard about understanding being as bad as your enemy? I didn't invent the concept.
The personal insult diminishes the weight of your argument. I encourage you to reconsider your debate strategies.
I say this as someone who disagrees with your position. I strongly believe that the correct way to cure a deadly infestation of conservatism is with violence, based on what has and has not worked historically. Never in history have conservative oppressors been defeated by pacifism.
We didn't ask to be put in this position, but here we are. We must choose to either defend our existence or allow the enemy to continue to slip the noose around our necks.
It is a badge of honor for a psychopath like you to disagree with me.
Again with the insults. I think it makes your position look weaker than it could be.
I think violence makes itself look weak
I understand you are opposed to violence. In most circumstances, I am as well. My opinion on the use of violence changes, however, when it will be used against my loved ones.
Seeing the violent threat that conservatives pose against the normal people, and seeing how it has played out over and over again throughout history, it is obvious to me that the threat is deadly real and must be stopped. Force is, unfortunately, the only way conservative oppressors have ever been stopped.
Violence is a last resort. I don't see how you can be sure of any opinion like this unless you can know the future. Knowing history doesn't mean you know the future.
I think our best method of understanding our current position is to understand our history. If history is our guide, attempting to respond with violence after conservatives have secured supreme power will be ineffective without outside help.
There is no one coming to save us. We must save ourselves. We will only be able to do that by acting before conservatives achieve their win-condition.
