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.

Nobody is perfect that much is true. But you need a lot of self reflection. Is not about my country or some other. It is your country and at the end of the day I couldn't care less what happened to it if it didn't affect so much of the rest of the world.
Blaming the media and people in power is the childish
Do you think the powers that have manipulated and dumbed down the US population are content with destroying America? Do you think they'll eat up everything and go "Mmnn that was good, I'm satisfied now, I'm done dividing populations and exploiting people's worst tendencies!"
This is your problem too, wherever you live. Identifying where that problem come from is your tool for fighting it, so remember we're in this together, as much as it probably makes you feel better to be outside the US borders, either physically or mentally, it's coming for you too. We're all just people, and your people aren't magically immune to the same tactics.
Oh boy we have this problem too, every election cycle. We have people looking fondly to a time when we were not part of eu, they call it when we were sovereign whatever that means. But they conveniently forget you needed a visa to get everywhere and to get that you have to queue at an embassy and wait about a week or more. They forget that even making phone calls to and from roaming used to cost a fortune, hello everything was more complicated and tedious. But noo eu is so bad for paper straws and a few other stupid things I don't want to get into. Don't get me wrong it has its flaws but damn mist of these people complain and want out of eu while working in eu!! Talk about stupidity manifested. Anyway so far, with one exception were said stupidity manifested in the most spectacular way, most countries stay in despite all the best efforts of a certain vodka fueled country which shall remain nameless.
You are right it is not a given and it is a constant battle but in your case your system has never been tested this way. I really hope it will hold.
