Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --
-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
Ghouls: Silly protesters, you should stop protesting and just ask for what you want nicely and with a well reasoned argument rather than sitting around in encampments and shouting slogans which do nothing!
Protesters: ask nicely with a well reasoned argument
Ghouls: haha, nice try, why would I ever do this? Just because you asked nicely and presented a reasonable argument??
They expect you to ask, they say no, then you say "oh, ok, that sucks. But alright!" As if the situation was like I asked for chocolate cake and you bought me vanilla on my birthday and told me tough shit. Some inconsequential menial thing.
Those in power don't like it when people have principles and they really really hate it when people insist on living by those principles and implementing those principles into society as a whole. You can only believe in the almighty dollar in America and any belief otherwise, such as "I would like to make dollar without killing babies," is unacceptable. They are allowed to force the belief that killing babies is fine in pursuit of dollar though.
Sorry for putting it into such redundant and reductive terms. It helps me though to remember that these people, capitalists and all their little subsidiaries down to the board members at universities, never actually engage in discussions with those outside of their capitalist bubble. The answer is already decided the moment you asked and nothing but force will make that change.
