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 Xcancel.com (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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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 think that man is cheating on his spouse
Setting the stage for "If you're against us spying on you it's because you're unfaithful to your wife you hotdog sharing slut"
Damn, we really are back to the aughts. 4chan are some hell of propagandists to eventually make “nothing to hide, nothing to fear” the based, redpilled, “cool” position this time around.
It's "We know you've got something to hide but don't worry we promise we're going to keep quiet about it" this time which is the biggest load of bullshit ever lmao who would even believe that, you don't need to do any surveillance if you're not going to use anyone's secrets against them!
America is the burger land don't commit treason by sharing hotdogs!!!! Sharing = Communism btw,
No shit, people don't want to get caught in the ever expanding, baroque nightmare that is the legal system and penal code. It's already inhuman, and the more the reins are in the hands of algorithms, the less human the system gets.
As the statistic goes, the average American commits three felonies per day. Most of them are frivolous and won't be prosecuted. But if the authorities reeeeally want to charge you with something, they'll find something to charge you with. Some examples:
....and there's hundreds (if not thousands) more. Abortion bans or HRT/GRS are the most recent examples of things that should be legal and normal, but were made illegal and now technology is being used to convict people.
The "three felonies a day" thing isn't a real statistic. It's just the title of a book by Harvey Silverglate and isn't supported by any sort of evidence.
"average am*rican commits three felonies per day" factoid actually just statistical error, average am*rican commits 0 felonies per day, Felonies Georg who lives in capitol hill & commits over 10000 each day, is an outlier adn should not have been counted
