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.

We still don't know if this person is actually trans or not, do we?
old post. unsure if still accurate
no, and there's pretty good evidence they aren't. "Lancelotte", the alleged account of this roommate has a post joking about an anime filter turning them into a girl with the description saying something along the lines of "this shit doesn't know what it's looking at", which coincidentally is the post the stock image of this roommate comes fromit is complete and utter wholesale fabrication of evidence and facts to me.
What do you think about the reddit account u/lancelott3 and their participation in trans subreddits + mentioning they're from Utah, though?
this is news to me I found after making this comment, and maybe there is some link there. i still think this focus on the roommate instead of the guy who shot someone is a way to manufacture consent to make it legal to harm trans people
So far no not really just the media kind of beating around the bush that she is or isn't trans.
But again, we don't have any way to be sure that this is the same person
What proof is this based of off?
I saw that Reddit account and I really didn’t see anything that clearly proved they were trans. There was a post in /r/trans calling OP an asshole about something they did and I found another post where eggs were mentioned, but again nothing clearly stating they were trans. Egg perhaps? I just would normally expect an out trans person to be more obvious about it on their online accounts, but it’s possible they weren’t or aren’t out yet.
But anyways, I still think it’s irrelevant. I don’t see how the roommate being trans means that trans people are responsible for the shooting.
I yearn to see the 4tran4 brainworm posts. I hope that this leads to a member of Congress calling someone a twinkhon manmoder on CSpan
They also posted in the jordan peterson sub, anarcho capitalism, loveforlandslords, crypto subs, and 4chan. Might have been one of those blaire white type trans people.
4tran reddit subs are equivalent to 4chan's lgbt board aka tttt and the people there make Blaire White look like a revolutionary. Didn't notice loveforlandlords but sounds funny considering that some places reported that Tyler either owns the appartment or sublets it to at least two other people and rakes in 900 dollars a month. He may not even live with them permanently but "trans roommate lover" is more useful to the chud narrative.
r/4tran4 was not a conservative subreddit. Full of self-loathing and edgy gallows humor memes, but not politically conservative at all.
The 4tran splinters and tttt itself aren't conventionally Evangelical conservative or coherently political but they're pretty much direct translations of incel and blackpill for trans. That self loathing you're talking about is usually obsessing over minor physical details to the point of craniometry and very incely notions of what cis humans are supposed to look like, inventing brand new slurs for themselves and everyone else, adopting all sorts of terf ideas, Blanchardism etc. Within the greater trans context this isn't the most left adjacent area, it's the 4chan side of it.
