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.

Okay, he's at least a little bit libbed up. Says Charlie Kirk spreads hate, cares about a trans person, says his dad is diehard MAGA. A groyper would only possibly say "diehard MAGA" in the context of complaining about people that won't abandon the republican party and embrace Hitlerism, not in the context of thinking maybe his dad won't approve of him shooting a right wing propagandist. I'm also appalled at the idea of discussing this over text messages which cops can probably literally just do a search on. Maybe it's not quite that easy but they are not private. Computer security people do not like using 2fa over text messages because they're not secure.
For the right, there's not much difference between libbed up and communist. It would have been nice to pin it on groypers but that seems extremely unlikely now.
Nah, Groypers are 100% on that "Greco-Roman" loverboy train, it's not gay if you're a top, they really believe that, just look up Fuente's rant about how having sex with women "is gay"
I thought there was room for him to be a trans-ally groyper yesterday, since people on the right frequently change their tune on one thing if it affects them personally and leave the rest of their ideology unquestioned. I can't read these texts and interpret him as being on the right of anyone he mentions. Maybe something else will be revealed but the chances of him being a groyper are shrinking. And him being a groyper would only be useful if it can be proven.
I think you nailed it here; young, dumb and in love, but unable to process those feelings in a healthy way thanks to a conservative upbringing and internet irony poison leeching his brain, Kirk may have become the avatar of his internal cognitive dissonance....hence the blam blam
Tho you're right, this is all just speculation until it's proven, and these leaks are nowhere near enough
How is it he complains here about his dad being “hardcore MAGA” yet in the discord messages Ken Klippenstein had, he never ever mentions this? If he took issue with it, you’d think he’d complain at least once before this or even just mention it?
The discord isn't really an "IRL" discord. I also never talk about my family with my online friends that I only know online.
No political opinions either? He never really voiced any political opinions at all. That seems weird.
My dad is hardcore MAGA and stupid as hell and I'm on discords that I have never mentioned my dad on.
did you guys watch the grayzone clip of max and anya talking about Kirk and how Nick Fuentes fans continually went to his events and challenged him on Israel issues?
