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 in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . 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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

You’re safe if you’re brown and work in business or tech though!

Really funny how that works

[–] Dimmer06@hexbear.net 26 points 1 day ago

I don't mean to imply this isn't bad, but hasn't the legal precedent for over a decade been that the president can order anyone killed in the interest of national security without any sort of judicial review? If they can just kill citizens with drone strikes then "citizenship" doesn't really mean that much.

all the environmental prophecies I heard while I was in DSA are coming true

  • they closed the border

  • they're oppressing unpapered migrants

  • they're kicking people out who were here with all the proper paperwork

  • they're working on ways to revoke citizenship

literally everything I was told ten years ago about how this was gonna go down is how it is going down. stopped watch and all, I know, but still. it's just very surreal to see it so fucking obvious, so very soon.

[–] Cimbazarov@hexbear.net 32 points 1 day ago

It's happening so fast and yet slow enough where i feel the population is just adjusting to it being the new normal. Very surreal

president cannot break the law so go ahead i guess

I remember asking on reddit before the election that if Trump and the Republican party are so bad then why don't we revoke Trump's citizenship and people (libs) freaked the heck out; lots of 'You can't defeat tyranny by becoming tyrants! Then you just have tyranny!', or 'That's a catch 22! You're trying to defeat tyranny by becoming a tyrant!', or 'behaving like this is what dictatorships do, and if you want to see what a dictatorship looks like, then wait until Trump wins!'

For reference and the irony:

EDIT (the actual link; I linked the wrong page): https://www.reddit.com/r/TooAfraidToAsk/comments/1dssr87/if_trump_or_the_republican_party_is_actually_that/

So basically don't fix the problem via the method that Republicans would absolutely fix theirs

I would go back and ask all these people how it's going now but they've spent the whole time since Kamala lost herself the election blaming the rest of us

Also the post is downvoted to zero because

Also some comment about something something iphones can't cheeseburgers

[–] Cimbazarov@hexbear.net 20 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

I felt the same vibe when european soc dems were rebuking Macron for going after LePen for corruption or whatever it was. Like if she's actually fascist, you dont decide to play electoralism with them. Doesnt help that macron sucks

Edit: I find the top comment so revealing of the liberal consciousness:

I mean for one huge reason among many others, there is no legal mechanism to do what you are suggesting.

It’s like asking why I can’t make my iPhone eat a hamburger. It has neither the programming nor the physical characteristics necessary for it to perform that action.

They see the laws of the US as material things, like the laws of physics. They dont even consider the millions of times Republicans/Trump/Billionaires/Corporations ignore and violate the laws with no repercussions. They are living in a fantasy world

[–] Collatz_problem@hexbear.net 8 points 1 day ago

I'm fully supporting right-wing infighting.

[–] SacredExcrement@hexbear.net 29 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

So basically don't fix the problem via the method that Republicans would absolutely fix theirs

That's literally liberals' MO

"We can't do good thing because it would set a terrible new precedent!"

Conservatives immediately set new precedent by doing something atrocious that liberals could have slowed, averted entirely, or at least taken advantage of if they did the good thing

[–] Ishmael@hexbear.net 15 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

When the Supreme Court ruled a president could do anything so long as it was done "as part of a president's official duties", including literal assassination, it was clear the fascists knew the Dems were toothless.

[–] Dirt_Possum@hexbear.net 22 points 1 day ago

I know it's bad for our mental health to engage on reddit-logo, but I always admire the few remaining brave comrades who go there and make the libs shit themselves.

rosa-salute Thank you for your service.

Do it, you cowards. Bring on the Balkanization.

[–] MrSulu@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 day ago

Aryan master race to our rescue. Oops, turns out many of us don't fit. Nevermind, we can ignore that as MY life will improve.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 46 points 1 day ago (1 children)

One thing both the libs and chuds can come together over: shitting on the left.

Democrats gonna find out what that trunk do

[–] gueybana@hexbear.net 33 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Please do it. Would portend absolutely awful news for me but I’m tired of my life, I want to enter the cool zone

[–] pumpchilienthusiast@hexbear.net 23 points 1 day ago (3 children)

this can't be right felix and will told us that trump 2.0 wasn't gonna be a big deal

[–] Riffraffintheroom@hexbear.net 18 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Basically all of hexbear shared that attitude until after it became clear that term 2 wasnt gonna be like term 1.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 4 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Yes? Have people changed their mind on that? There is very little difference I can see thus far. Randomly hinting at doing new illegal shit was basically all that happened in Term 1, and that's what this is.

[–] pumpchilienthusiast@hexbear.net 1 points 23 hours ago (1 children)

I hope you’re right. I really do.

[–] CarbonScored@hexbear.net 1 points 22 hours ago* (last edited 22 hours ago)

Are we really doing Reddit style Trump-specific scaremongering now? He is just a typical member of the bourgeois class. He may be 99% or 98% Hitler, but the distinction is incredibly boring.

[–] Salem@hexbear.net 14 points 1 day ago

Those two get paid as much as medical doctors per year every month

[–] marxisthayaca@hexbear.net 2 points 1 day ago (1 children)

Kamala would have still lost. The new york crimes just posted an article that even with increased voter turnout, Kamala would have lost.

[–] pumpchilienthusiast@hexbear.net 2 points 23 hours ago

oh no doubt, I’m not saying otherwise. She was polling what, fourth in the 2020 primaries in her own state before she dropped out?

[–] Homer_Simpson@hexbear.net 27 points 1 day ago

Where we goin?
