news
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.

lol reddit
lmao. "The hitlerite didn't deserve to go out like this"
Lmao that's one of the tankiejerk mods.
Of course they are.
I guess we have one thing in common.
it would be horrifying if it happened to almost anybody else
people who take this “im above all that” stance want to put this front up like they’re so thoughtful and deep yet they never asked the question “how many people have been killed thanks to charlie kirk’s rhetoric?”. and we dont even need to ask that in conjecture, we can just look at the mass shooters who cite his show as what “educated” them and took them to those lengths. we’re not supposed to care about the dead kids in schools that are his fault but his death is a tragedy? fuck that lmao
Like I'm sure in terms of Lockheed Martin executives and whatnot there are a lot of more evil people, but as far as American right-wingers go there aren't many people who deserve it more
He was the propaganda arm of US fascism. It was a good kill.
If you could load a bullet that, when fired, completely dismantled the economic relations and ideologies that make capitalism tick, then it would make sense to post screeds about how any one individual being shot isn't going to stop the system. But until they come up with SIMD for
...
Also from the video that motherfucker was out before he was horizontal. Way less dramatic death then the hundreds of murdered school children he's endorsed.
Fucking liberals...
Reddit was already being insufferable over the hotel fire in Nepal. Now they're going to be extra insufferable.
So they'll be changing that banner immediately? Nah just not gonna let people say anything that's totally different
I think the banner only shows up on old.reddit, and the css for it likely hasn't been updated in years. These kinds of subreddits all tend to have moderators who are much farther to the right than the moderators who set up the sub initially (the hegemonic left wing presence in 2020, when a lot of these subs were born, was /r/cth, nowadays the biggest left subs are way more lib), so if anything they would've changed it a long time ago if they even knew it existed.
Oh that's right. I keep forgetting old isn't how most view it now, and reddit killed ability for subs to do custom css.
is it gone for anyone else
if you mean the banner? Yeah they changed it lmfao. cowards
how did all these subs turn so liberal
