Keep it civil, people. If there’s an issue with posting certain sources, that can be clarified as a community, not just spamming the same thing over and over.

    /u/Farmer_Heck is on point here. Its pretty easy for any US news company to write a completely unsourced article demonizing its enemies (currently russia, china, VZ, Iran, Palestine, NK) , and have it spread around like wildfire, ultras more than happy to join the liberals in the frenzy and build support for war against the US’s enemies.

    Reddit’s front page is always full of these articles: it confirms the racism / xenophobia of its main audience.

    I know its also annoying for me or any admin to remove a post, esp before discussing the article, but of course the nature of a brigade is that they get a ton of ppl to instantly upvote it to the top, and that needs to be taken care of. I wouldn’t hesitate to remove explicitly homophobic or racist posts, and I don’t hesitate to remove western propo either (at least for now, until we decide what sectarianism is allowed here)

      I think we should make the site-wide rules clearer then. They are in the sidebar on the main page, but thats easy to miss. How about showing a dialog after signup where users have to agree to the site rules? The rules should also be clarified better, the first rule (No capitalist apologia / anti-communism) is not clear at all, even to me.

        Ya I agree, we can work on them a bit to make them clearer. Based on this recent brigade my siege psychology is intensifying lol, and think that maybe we should propose / add a rule regarding demonization of the enemies of the west. Like I had to remove 10 shit-tier anti-maduro / VZ memes. Something like : critiquing anti-imperialist states = okay, simplistic memes , not. I dunno.
