Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.
-
Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

I remember when I found a bunch of stolen goods and handed it in to the cops after I'd find out as much as possible about the goods (it was jewellry thrown in a lake, my family thinks somebody hit it there after doing a break-in and would wait for the heat to die off). We'd cleaned up the silverware, found names, dates, all sorts of stuff that could help the cops find the owners. Lots of family heirlooms. I handed it in so my little sister could learn something about doing The Good Thing and Helping Others, plus we found some fun in talking about the finders' fee.
Three days later I come back and the cops say they didn't receive any goods that day, and I also spot two of them wearing watches that were among the goods handed in. one of them winked at me.
every single cop should be executed
Death to America
This happened on christmas day too. Seemed like the opportunity to do a genuine christmas miracle for some family that probably missed their old heirlooms + an incredible PR opportunity for the cops. But nah.
They didn't even give you one of those "Porky's friends" cards to get out of tickets and shit?
Hogs gonna hog.
That's a thing?
Yes it is
Yep. Here's one example.

What the fuck it's an actual card?
:this:
I hope you were not much older than your sister.
Getting cops envolved is never a good thing.
I was still a teen, but it's not like we got cops involved really. We went to the local station and delivered a bunch of stolen goods we'd found in a lake. If anything the cops stayed out of it, considering the fact that they didn't do anything
Reads like the fine print on an insurance contract
FBI and NYPD can have a little deny depose defend aa a treat
This ain't a reward, it's a sweepstakes for a chance to win!
But wait, you can avoid income tax because it's a raffle!
Idk what that means. in particular
