What do you make of people here who just post news stories? Do they nothing to say about their...

They are virtue signaling.

Posting news stories that reflect their beliefs and looking for validation and like minded people

They are worrying. The world order is disturbed.

it's just a perfect example of democracy in action! freedom of expression includes freedom of condemnation, praise, or prophecy. It is considered good practice to cite sources when providing a verbatim copy of someone else's work, naturally.

Who are these terrible people forcing their views on you?

BooksRMe · 46-50, M

For me it reminds me that things are still happening out there, which is rarely good, so with people here posting about those things there's always an outrage sentiment, which is either commendable, or reprehensible, the latter being an example of how I see error being propounded and expanded, and the prior as reinforcement that fosters a sense of communal woe about the state of things.

A surprisingly huge segment of society do not read anything factual in the way of news. Instead they sit and suck in anything FOX NOISE tells them.....or think news is the conspiracy theories they hear.....or they just make up shit as they go because :"this is what I want to believe". Maybe occasional news posts aren't so bad. At least now and then those people are exposed to something truthful.

Showing their superiority especially when you disagree with their opinions

I suppose it's an improvement on people who just post memes

Yeah, I just scroll past them all
I get my news sources elsewhere

I don’t really give it much thought. Their prerogative to post what they want, my prerogative to scroll on by. Besides the fact that some people come here to get a break from their own lives. I frequently include myself in that category.

I think people have always had conversations about current events that affect us, or amuse us, or make us wonder about things.

Sometimes I post, sometimes I engage

And if I'm not interested I just keep scrolling

I think there's room for posts about current events and posts about very private stuff. I usually don't care about someone's private stuff tbh. Why judge? If I'm not interested in a topic I just don't read it.

I feel the way I do about most topics here; if it interests me I engage, if not, I keep scrolling.
And some forums I block. That way I see less of the topics that I find useless, like organized religion.
