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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

it's instructive to me that these people are unlikely to think critically about how much of a paper trail exists of their crimes against humanity.
paystubs, residences, socials, etc.
in many of the pogroms and organized state terror campaigns that happened in the last 50 years, the kidnappings, disappearances, and killings lacked documentation and/or were carries out by irregular forces and contractors hidden behind corporate secrecy veils.
but federal government payrolls are pretty resiliently archived and will be at "risk" for declassifying by any administration or reconstituted government for the foreseeable future.
its a special kind of pride that never even considers the possibility that their actions today, obscured by mask and badge, could one day be exposed for all to know.
I think that they simply expect these records documenting their crime will never be used to bring them to justice. And looking at the way the world looks and where its going they are probably not likely to be wrong about that assessment.
