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'm going to make some grim predictions.
ICE or the cops with them is going to start shooting people. They'll say something insane like they "were under assault" when the crowd was in fact just yelling at them. ICE/cops will make one bald-faced lie after another about the incident. The lies will have little or no connection to reality.
The media will explain this as being something worthy of debate when in fact ICE/cops clearly used of tools of death because they can and they knew they'd face no repercussions.
A court - probably federal - will charge some people in the crowd with crimes and some of the victims. If ICE/cops are charged with some kind of token offense - it will be for entirely unimportant misdemeanors.
The media will frame this new awfulness as debatable too.
Repeat.
Libs: "What do you mean you're not doing divinatory magic? WTF is 'pattern recognition'?!"
They'll be charged with property damage because stray bullets broke some windows. Chuds will froth at the mouth and be outraged
Normal cops do that shit all the time, they almost never get personally charged.
Maybe local property owners win a lawsuit against the local police, after 2 years, but then its just the city paying the insurance companies, meaning everyone is taxed for this... and the cops ~~administrative leave~~ paid vacation was only a couple weeks, maybe a month, they've been back at their job for over a year by the time the lawsuit finishes.
Local property owners could try to sue... ICE? DHS? ... If they can figure out who these guys are?
... And then that gets laughed out of court at some level, potentially the Supreme Court.
This is full military police state shit, I'd be amazed if there is any kind of accountability, in any legal sense, for any of this.... as our entire legal system is in the process of more or less cannibalizing itself right now.
only the coolest legal systems have unrepresented 4 year olds in court having a "judge" explain to them what deportation is
