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 right or left wing sources will be removed at the mods discretion. We have an actively updated blocklist, which you can see here: https://lemmy.world/post/2246130 if you feel like any website is missing, contact the mods.

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.


Posts which titles don’t match the source won’t be removed, but the autoMod will notify you, and if your title misrepresents the original article, the post will be deleted. If the site changed their headline, the bot might still contact you, just ignore it, we won’t delete your post.


5. Only recent news is allowed.


Posts must be news from the most recent 30 days.


6. All posts must be news articles.

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.

And no one is even trying to assassinate the richest fascist in the world.

Oh, they are. He's got a pretty serious security team that doesn't fuck around.

Why isn't anyone even trying to guillotine our billionare megalomaniacs? 🤔

imagine fake laughing for this guy

Yeah because everybody everywhere doesn't want then dead/irrelevant.

I get a kick out of it STILL only being trump people who are trying to kill trump. It's like if reality were trying to paint trump supporters in an overly negative and biased light.

The left has been fairly successfully persuaded not to initiate violence. For better or for worse, and I believe it to be better, that’s the case. The right wing is being radicalized to violence and the emperor has no clothes. It’s not surprising that it’s his former voters shooting at him, he keeps lying to them and telling them to get violent.

Closed my X account a couple days ago. He's truly gotten out of control and my feed had become riddled with conspiracy theory fear-mongering garbage. Good riddance. I encourage others to leave as well, it's the only way he's held accountable unfortunately.

I ditched the day he took over. Maximum nope.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 3 months ago

Just a joke? Which of his wives will he blame for posting that? Isn’t that what conservatives all do? Blame their wives?

Funny enough, two posts away from this one it sure sounds like someone is threatening Harris’ life.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 3 months ago (1 children)

i mean yeah, nobody is really trying that... They aren't really divisive figures, the divisive shit they do talk about is entirely made up.

With the way klansmen in Ohio fell on the local Haitian automotive workforce like ravenous hyenas, I don't think you need more than that to turn certain people in the US absolutely feral.

Just whisper "Kamala Harris ate my dog" into the Internet and you'll have a military parade of psycho rednecks calling for her head.

hmm. This gives me an idea, do you think we should just manufacture an entire campaign, only to come out and be like "haha got you, get trolled idiots"

that would be really funny, i think. It would probably make the republican party worse, but they would probably get closer to imploding anyway.

And the American Oligarch will continue to face no consequences for his actions.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 3 months ago

That's not exactly true. He has lost a massive amount of public respect. He bought Twitter and now the company is worth much less than it was before. His credibility has gone down considerably in the last few years.
