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.

Thank you for the correct terminology. I'm not a huge watch videos of people die even if they deserve it kind of guy but so many people are saying he was hit in the jugular and then clearly describing arterial spray.
Whatever screw is loose in my head that can't let this go was tightened ever so slightly by this post.
I think people use jugular because it's a more familiar term in pop culture or just everyday usage. "Go for the jugular" is often used as "Go for the kill" when describing dog attacks and such.
But yeah it doesn't take a doctor or anything to see the incredible spraying of the blood and recognize arterial bleeding. From there just a bit of first aid knowledge tells you "bro's dead." Can't tourniquet off the head... he'd need a prepared surgeon next to him. Even under those perfect circumstances my understanding is such a wound is more than likely fatal.
Although I will say on a really morbid note or whatever. I found this video not all that disturbing in comparison to the perhaps hundreds of videos I've seen of Palestinians being murdered in every possible way. I'm not even going to detail further but people that have seen them probably know what I mean. It's like Kirk was still a human even as he was sitting there bleeding out. A whole body. Still a recognizable figure.
it really gushed out. i regret watching it but also it's kinda funny how unreal it seems.
Yeah your heart is really strong and the carotid has to maintain a high volume to supply a 100% perfusion uptime to the most nutrient-hungry part of your body that also happens to be the only part that has to be pumped against gravity at all times.
If you've ever seen a cracked drain line vs a cracked supply line it makes sense that the descriptions of the wound couldn't be coming from the jugular.
