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
It isn't happening as much from the left because we understand that the full power of the state will be used to crush the left violently and without remorse in a way that doesn't happen to those on the right.
Imagine if the actions on January 6 were done by leftists. What do you think we would have seen play out instead?
Depends if they were all white
There are crazy people on both sides. This isn't about Jan 6, this is about crazies with weapons and no hope for the future.
But look, it's not happening so clearly there's something missing from the train of thought. Happily.
Edit: Stochastic violence isn't an organized mob of people attacking the Whitehouse. It's crazy folks shooting up gay night clubs or attacking brown people in grocery stores. Mental illness isn't exclusive to the right wing and I'm not a both sides are the same guy.
Funny how the two results you gave are both right wing attacks.
That's exactly my point. I know somehow I've managed to phrase it like an asshole or something but that exactly my point. We know we are under attack. Some of us are pretty fucking angry about it. But we aren't resorting to violence even though the system is failing us.
I'm being really loose with the "we" here but it's a much shorter word.
