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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

Gotta say, after the last few years, I don't think you people should be allowed to use the word genocide anymore

Have to put it on a high shelf until you understand what it actually means

Western censorship of the plight of the Palestinians was so blatant I'm surprised libs still remember how to spell "genocide."

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 57 points 4 days ago (2 children)

There is a non-trivial number of people who think China is genociding Uyghurs but Israel isn't genociding Palestinians yea

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 26 points 4 days ago

Those people legit make my blood boil with rage

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 18 points 4 days ago

Westerners think China killed every single Uyghur

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 57 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Yeah, there's still people breathlessly repeating that "Russia is carrying out a genocide on Ukraine" and I'm looking at the death counts compared to Palestine and going blocky-wat

Those kind of people are especially stupid.

Libs are very fond of using the word genocide (PuTiN, China, Assad) except when it actually applies (Palestine)

"Everything is genocide except actual genocide, which is fine"
