Use the 24 hour rule before becoming invested in the the first version of whatever story is 'breaking'
read the articles, not just headlines. And look for "get out jail free" cards being played with key phrases like "unnamed sources" "someone close to the situation" yadda yadda
if you have a big emotional response to something, step back and understand that's a favorite (and highly effective) tool they use for manipulation.
Excellent post, excellent advice. I wish more people would do this. It's sad that people have to be reminded of these things, which should be second nature because it's just basic common sense.
People jumping to conclusions based on headlines is something that happens waaaaaaay too often. How hard is it to actually read the article included?
Taking a look through the mod logs, and seeing all the comments they deleted that were talking about lynching and hanging people, and shooting people, and running them over with cars, and encouraging others to use violence in all manner of situations, I'm going to go out on a limb and say, no, everybody here doesn't already know this.
watch what you read. THINK before you type.

When things kick off, use cozy speak. We will find the frens
I just want to take the time to address lurking glowie fags: FUCK YOU. That is all 😎
They glow in the dark, so its easy to see them at night
Doesn’t even have to be violent. Looking for wrong thinkers.
Great advice
You understand this NanaQ45, don’t you?
Is NanaQ45 one of the feisty ones looking to stir up some violence in the name of Trump?

I stand by what i say. Helicopters are a very effective tool
What the hell are you talking about? You're just posting non sequiturs all over this post.
I just like helicopters, through continuous use the fuel eventually pays for itself (im giving an example of aloof poasting)
I like calling helicopters "whirlybirds". It makes me feel more aloof.
Not all of them are shills. At least a few are long-time regulars here. You're just wrong on this.
God, yes. It feels amazing to be right. Maybe one day you'll be right about something and you'll get to experience that feeling for yourself.
I prefer to be proven wrong most of the time, if people dont correct me I asssume its because they dont love me.
Day drinking generally doesn't bode well for the drinker.
