Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
I'm not a usaian, and I don't really care who did this or why but:
"All Americans have the right to peaceful protest, but ugly attacks like this have no place in our democracy,"
Isn't this a peaceful prostest (factoring in here that the speaker almost certainly does not consider the insects harmed worthy of dignity and respect)? Obnoxious and weird sure but peaceful.
Here in the US anything that results in even the mildest inconvenience or loss of face among the ruling class is violent by definition.
Fair, I mean similar stuff happens in aus but we're literally a prison colony of uptight dibber dobbers without even town squares lest uprising be facilitated. I thought you were calibrated the other way, like firing rounds up into the air is peaceful and civic jubilation :p
Guess power is the same everywhere. I do wish the media parroted this stuff less. Normalising disruption = violence is how the remnants of our liberties die.
Firing rounds into the sky is peaceful civic jubilation, knocking over a trash can near a protest is violence
