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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

im picking up the vibe of "hexbear supports sultana instead of Corbyn" which I got the last time this was posted about but which still confuses me because I have never seen her name mentioned before, or outside of, the context of "wrecking the new party" which was, i understood, Jeremy corbyn's project to begin with
Corbyn allied himself with landlords and bigots, while Sultana wanted an actual socialist party. It's not that hard to understand.
I must have missed the part where anybody explained any of that or explained why this person who seemed to appear out of the aether specifically to be involved in this controversy is more trustworthy than the person who literally started this party to begin with
If Jeremy "worse than Bernie Sanders, suddenly" Corbyn pledged to side with the landlords and bigots in the party he iirc started to combat the landlords and bigots then why hasn't Sultana started her own party instead of whatever it is they're both doing here if not to wreck it up, when it was, again, unless Im wrong, explicitly corbyn's project to begin with
If Corbyn hit his head and turned into john fetterman people should have informed me
I guess I was offline the day this was being explained, too.
My vague understanding is that one of them had money and the other had a massive mailing list. I think that's from trash future (November Kelly).
I don't have the impression anyone had any good, strong ideas. Other than "let's get out of the fucking labour party". That's a good start but I guess they figured the details would sort themselves out. No name; no platform, no internal structure. All the tensions of anticommunist leftwing parties.
