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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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 really wish she was as cool as I made her sound. She's a big girl boss and has some interesting takes, but she's really not much better than most German politicians
She definitely has some not so great takes, but on the whole i find that out of all the parties in Germany that the average German is even aware of (this unfortunately excludes communist parties like the DKP who, being actual Marxists, have much better takes overall), the BSW are the only ones with an actually realistic view of the Ukraine conflict.
And it's not just Sahra Wagenknecht. I've heard multiple high level members of her party speak on this issue, or on the issue of China, and they consistently show that they actually understand the geopolitical reality around these issues.
Compared to the totally delusional nonsense that you hear from the other parties and from the media, it's really nice to hear someone (even if they aren't communists) who lives in the real world and not a fantasy lala-land.
Die Linke used to have this but they caved in to a fairly relentless stream of saying "Russia is a serious geopolitical entity" being taken as "I love and support Putin, personally" because all the libs have long abandoned realpolitik
