Laughing about the demise of other human lives is not nice. Please, remember to be(e) nice when using Beehaw. Also, consider this a warning.
This doesn’t belong in world news.

As we get closer to the election, and more people start paying attention, that ‘53 out of 100’ will be higher.
Please, remember to be(e) nice when using Beehaw. Demeaning accusatory language, targeted at another user, is NOT nice. Thank you.
Our overarching rule, here at Beehaw, is to be(e) nice. Your words are very far from nice. Consider this a warning.
…I have no idea how you would even begin to resolve the issue.
For now, we must encourage all of the younger people to vote. The younger people are, understandably, frustrated by the current American political system. It can be changed with more participation over time. Doing nothing (not voting, etc.) just worsens the problem.
The far right GOP knows all of this and makes it difficult for anyone to vote. They use tactics such as gaslighting in order to cheat their way into office.
Is it the average American news sources messing with people’s minds that much?
I’d estimate that 98% of American news sources are either very biased or straight up propaganda machines. I can only rely on National Public Radio and The Associated Press.
I’m sorry you feel that way. I did not intend for anyone to be uncomfortable.
…does this mean that saying “Joe Biden is acting like a fascist autocrat”, is ok, but applying it as a title, as in “Joe Biden the Fascist Autocrat” is not?
In my opinion, yes. However, this is something that I would want to discuss with the other administrators/moderators in order to reach a conclusion.
Name-calling is a form of argument in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual or group.
Labeling Joe Biden as a ‘fascist’ is name-calling. Whether or not he is, truly, a fascist is not what is being addressed here.
Beehaw is a space that strives to be(e) nice apart from the thousands of Internet spaces that could care less.
…staff here defend these people from criticism.
Show me where Beehaw staff have defended anyone from criticism.
The subject at hand is name-calling. It is not nice.
The subject that you keep reiterating is current events and politics.
Do you understand the difference?
Name-calling is a form of argument in which insulting or demeaning labels are directed at an individual or group.
That’s what we, at Beehaw, don’t want. It is not nice.
You certainly achieved that.
Very interesting article…today I learned.
This is a ‘soft warning’ about name-calling. Generally speaking, name-calling isn’t nice. Please, be(e) nice when using Beehaw. Thank you.
Interesting. Thanks for pointing this out.
As far as I can surmise, the Biden administration has accomplished more (for the general public) than any other president in history. Sadly, our local/national media rarely covers this fact.
I have become, mostly, reliant on The Associated Press and National Public Radio over the years.
That’s good to hear.
At the very beginning of learning about Assange, over many years, I was conflicted. I didn’t know how to process his actions against the legal system (USA or otherwise).
I believe, deep inside my self, that he should be free and has done a great service to humanity.
I, also, believe that I will learn more about his service as time goes by.
