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.

7. No duplicate posts.


If a source you used was already posted by someone else, the autoMod will leave a message. Please remove your post if the autoMod is correct. 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.


The auto mod will contact you if a link shortener is detected, please delete your post if they are right.

Even when confronted with the truth, millions have the anger and fear permanently imprinted on their minds. That's why Putin's psyops war fare is so incredibly effective, particularly against the poorly educated.

If Ukraine actually did assassinate Tucker, I’d only support them more.

Yeah I'd definitely feel more compelled to send a donation - I'm not a fan of tipping culture, but doing the world a service like that would merit some kind of reward.

It wouldn’t have to be Ukraine, either… if the Nazi party took out tucker, I’ll never support their ideals, but good service is good service.

I'd even donate some money to the program where they write your custom messages on the shells.

Yeah this is like when Republicans say shit like "Democrats want to nationalize the oil industry!" To try and scare people but Im just over here like nah no way the dems are that cool.

Too bad it didn't happen and didn't work.

[–] PrincessLeiasCat@lemmy.world 10 points 8 months ago

Right? Even the fan fiction could have had a happy ending….but no.

Waiting for the Musk comment about how awful it is Ukraine would try such a thing...

More likely, he'd just reply to the tweet with 'interesting' and let his followers to the rest.

Basically why I hate Joe Rogan too. He'll have misinformation and lies on his show and he'll just go "I never thought of that". He pretends to be someone just asking questions but he's clearly spreading it on purpose

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Well said about Rogan. I feel the same way. It's called JAQing off and he's an expert.

Great link! What exactly is rationalwiki.org?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

It's a wiki created by skeptics. It can be snarky at times, but it's still quite useful.

You should probably spend your time doing literally anything else.
