news
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 URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). 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.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). 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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

None of this is a reply to what I said, really.
I agree with everything you just said in the first paragraph. I'm talking about making any sort of organized preparations before taking action to resist or anything. That didn't happen, so the acceleration of the hate and violence was worsened with no viable way to see any benefit. Kirk was a fascist and I'm glad he's dead so we don't have to hear him anymore with his fascist bullshit. But that doesn't make it any less dangerous that he was killed without any way for the vulnerable in the US to defend themselves. The killer would've done at least some benefit by doing disorganized mutual aid.
The second paragraph also has nothing to do with what I said. This person didn't "reach out to fascists to mark their friend for death," that he would be killed for it was set in stone pretty early on. And I'm not speaking about doing something for ones own benefit, Im talking about being willing to throw away someone working against a greater goal (who knows if that's this case? Above we were already talking in hypotheticals, so I'm still doing that).
