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 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. Supporting links can be added in comments or posted seperately but not to the post body.
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.
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.
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.
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.

Largely because the left is less interested in hating and killing everyone around them over irrelevant differences. There are many armed leftists, they just don’t cosplay government overthrow or post apocalyptic warlord on a regular basis.
Also, have you ever tried to organize anarchists?
Have you gone to your local shooting range? I guarantee you it's populated by all right wing gun people. If there ever will be a social disruption and it's one side pitted against another, the blue team will not only be out gunned by overwhelming numbers of red team gun nuts but even the most morbidly obese right wing pieces of shit practice their marksmanship.
They're also lazy cowards. Most of them.
I hope you're right. But hope doesn't fucking fix the fear of Orange Man taking over and lining us up against a wall to have the morbidly obese Cleetus Gravy Seal shoot our backs.
Either you train to resist something that never will happen and lost nothing of value training up for it, or will roll over and die because you never prepared for the worst.
That’s libertarian, not liberal. Similar stance on social legislation, but vastly different economic ideologies.
Edit: Why the downvotes? Anarchists are still on board with civil rights and personal liberty, right? Did Anarchists suddenly start supporting tax funded civil services, public education, and public assistance programs?
