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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

I don't know what the fuck these people are thinking when the perception of america having free speech is really the last thing it has going for it. People are just going to see China lapping the U.S. more and more and instead of "well at least WE have FREE SPEECH
" it's gonna be "well they don't have free speech" "yeah well neither do we"
americans dont have free speech about another country. not even their own.
China already has more free speech than the USA today.
"the perception of"
it will be 'can you imagine how much less free speech would be if we were CHINESE??????? thank god!!'
Yeah you're right
Every time Amerikkka makes decisions this stupid and bad for optics, I'm left in complete awe that these idiots won the Cold War. How much of a dog's breakfast of the Supreme Soviet was Gorbachev making, that these idiots won that!?
The later soviets were fucking imbecilic liberals.
I know they were. Fucking revisionists. Destroyed the greatest win that socialism ever got. Stalin should have purged the lot.
Back then, there were still competent imperialists alive
Unfortunately true.
