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.

MODERATORS
Uh no, that's also an extreme opinion. Death is always an extreme opinion, because there's no way to change your mind. Death is a permanent solution to a temporary problem.
If you're gonna be a naïve idealist, at least be an effective one and pick arguments where you're not splitting hairs over hyperbole on niche social media, much less hyperbole directed at a world-class factory of inflammatory hyperbole who has 0 chance of being executed by the government.
I will not entertain the concept of normalizing extremist hyperbole, as normalizing extremes tends to make them normal.
And what do you do when that comes? If most people consider extreme to be normal, what do the rest of us do?
There is a difference between starting conflict, and defending yourself. Assassination is not a defense
Someone go to this guy's house and do a medieval torture of some sort.
Nah I think we should do that to you, considering you're ok with stuff like that
🤣 Hey, remember how Trump separated immigrant children from their mothers, some of whom we lost record of and have no idea if they've been reunited? Remember the physical abuse of immigrants he internally promoted? Remember his pandering to the Klan and neo-nazis and adjacent white nationalist organizations? Remember all the covid deaths he caused with his validating and spreading of lies? His insurrection attempt? Divulging of military strategic information? Don't you think that tips the scales a little bit? All it took was a little bit of pushback to get you to flip on your "never joke about violence" stance. I've never done any of those things. You should re-evaluate your priorities. Unless this is really the hill you want to "die" (😱) on.
A lil pushback? Flip? No, I've always been anti-violence. Killing people only results in more graves. War doesn't solve anything. Sometimes you need to stand up in defense, and that's different, but starting the violence is never a good thing
Getting on a high horse over hyperbole is silly, but that's what you doubled down on doing, then you used the exact same kind of hyperbole yourself because you were mad. That's the definition of flipping. (And irony.)
You can stop grandstanding now, no-one cared before, except for the bit where you stuck your foot in your mouth, maybe.
