News
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.

What does this mean? Fuck everyone then?
Hmnn, who else can I name who has decided to condemn an entire nation of men, women and children and wish them death based on the actions of the minority.
Hmnnnn.... where or where has this played out.
edit: folks, lot of trolls out there doing this act on purpose, many are even paid to continue to sow division between peoples, don't trust these bad-faith astroturfers and edgelords to even have a good conversation, report them, block them and move on.
it's a 4 day old troll account. just let them whinge
Already blocked, reported and moved on.
Ah so you're here in bad faith then, 4-day old account.
I won't see further replies, keep trying to inflame people elsewhere.
I mean, I won't complain if you leave, you were not adding anything anyway.
LOL this has to be rage bait. Even an American would know better.
Minorities are not always absolute. You can't, in good faith, say that Trump voters (who got him ELECTED for fuck's sake) and who currently poll him at 41+% count as a "minority" the same way any other "minority" exists, such as LGBT at 15ish %. You're arguing in such bad faith that it's actually ridiculous. Typical American mindset.
Again to point out for the rest: this is a textbook troll. It's too perfect a mix of being demonstrably incorrect with being aggressively overconfident. It's 100% ragebait, and the odds of someone truly being this ignorant while also being so furiously certain are low. Then ending with an insult? It's too on the nose.
I'm not suggesting people don't interact. I simply suggest we mock them for their poor trolling skills.
LOL
If it’s less than half it is literally a minority.
If you want to be a pedant, then consider that your "minority" elected Trump.
They did. The electoral college is a fuck.
