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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

zero tolerance rules are some bullshit. punishing the victim equal to the perpetrator is insane.
Yeah I used to get bullied for being autistic a lot in school. Whenever I’d get into fights I’d always hear, “If someone hits you and you hit them back, that makes you just as guilty.”
Well my wife is autistic too and used to get the same shit plus sexual harassment. There was a “game” some of the boys were playing while she was in school (in the same place Deliverance was filmed) where they would just run up to girls and grab their boobs. Someone did that to her and she beat the living shit out of them and got expelled. The teachers just said, “Boys will be boys,” about all the sexual assault that was going on. But at least she got to leave that piece of shit school and that fuckin guy got his ass kicked by a tiny Mexican girl. She had also thrown a girl down a flight of stairs at that school for calling her a slur for lesbians but apparently that was fine since it was girl on girl violence.
Leaves a pretty big opening for communists to reach the working class by saying, “No hitting back is justified.”
