A Pakistani business owner accused of trying to hire hit men to kill a U.S. politician has been convicted in a trial that showcased allegations of Iran-backed plotting on American soil.
This isn’t a random crime though. I don’t think the president of the united states’ gets valid, state funded assassination attempts often. That’s what makes this political. And political news is still news, so that alone wouldn’t invalidate this being posted on a news community.
This is a news article, for a news community. You can keep going all you want, but I’m not going to change my mind. Most of Lemmy is political, so you have plenty of places where you can have a nice 8 hour “debate” on politics. This isn’t a political community tho. Thx.
I get that it’s a news article, yes. It’s a political one though. Political news is still news and would therefore be valid for a news community.
Non political news would be something like “scientists discover new animal species that flows n the dark” or “multiple cats have disappeared at the same time in this neighborhood”.
I’m just giving you an fyi because it seems it’s your intention to not post political stuff and you seem to be having a bit of trouble discerning what’s political and what isn’t. At least, if you want to be that “change” you claim. Anything involving a politician and a government is definitely political, especially if it involves a political motive (in this case, ending or slowing actions on an illegal war) and will therefore attract political discussion. In this case, the politician being the US president and the government being Iran.
If it was an assassination attempt of a non-politician by someone not involved with a government, done for non political reasons, it would just be regular news, not political news.

We can. You have an opinion, and I have one. Neither one is more valid than the other. You gave your opinion. I gave mine. Thx and hope you have a great day.

Austin, read what I did. I’m not disagreeing with your first sentence. I’m just explaining to you why this very much of a political article.
And I disagree with you, because I don’t think it’s a political article. We can agree to disagree. Thanks and I hope you have a great day.
You can disagree gravity is real too. Am opinion is not a fact.
