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.

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.
No opinion pieces, Listicles, editorials or celebrity gossip is allowed. All posts will be judged on a case-by-case basis.

The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.
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.
A campaign run by trolls wasn't just gonna stop trolling once they win. Of course they were gonna double down with being awful people.
Sore winners? What a surprise.
Dumb fucks being themselves: I just don't know why women don't like me.
Im sure some of this is real. But i wonder how much of this is actually foreign state actors. We have a bunch of countries working overtime trying to destabilize the U.S. right now.
I think we should absolutely consider foreign actors as the likely seed for some of these flashy, rage-bait stories. Russia's primary goal since 2015 has been to keep us from trusting one another, and I expect them to ramp up messaging to leftist groups over the next few months. We're uncertain, isolated, and afraid, and that makes us likely targets for cultural wedge disinformation.
At least 90% is my guess. MANY foreign countries are trying very hard to ensure we tear ourselves apart from the inside
Someone explain to me how a federal abortion ban could be in any way different from a federal cannabis ban? What's stopping states from saying "We're not enforcing that federal law"?
why do people spend so much time being awful
I didn't think there was a most pathetic way to out yourself as a rapist
Fits in nicely with the recent article about conservative men having trouble dating. Maybe don't antagonize women?
These people are so filled with fucking hate.
Like, seriously, no small wonder nobody actually wants to fuck you.
Yet conservative women always are so confused why their partners are such shitheads who don't treat them respectfully.
