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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

Strong reminder that the proletariat... ALL the proletariat... Are a revolutionary threat. Even those who have been taken in by right wing views of the moment. Ultimately the proles want a better life, for themselves and for other proles, at least the ones who haven't been turned borderline psychotic. People like Kirk are so vile and disgusting that even those taken in by bullshit will see him as vile and disgusting, especially if they're near to someone directly affected by it that they don't personally hate (in this case, the trans roommate most likely).
We don't have to and can not fix the backwards views of all the proles. All we can do is drag enough of them to our side and educate them to form a critical mass necessary for the vanguard to then lead the rest of them regardless of backwards views.
