Cool, they’re making shit up now.
news
Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.
-
Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.
-
Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. 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 sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.
-
Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.
-
American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.
-
Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
Definitely real and not a false flag. Confirmed by true patriots. Seal of approval by the manostry of truth.
Part of me wants to say "based" another part of me thinks "false flag" but by whom, Drumpf? As if he needs anymore power, who's going to stop him??
Distraction from epstein shit, way more serious of a crimewave indicator than someone beating up one of his doge kiddies, plus pin blame squarely on idpol enemy of choice
It's a pretty neat and tidy combo move if true
how do you engrave a bullet with transgender ideology? 
gun-comrades, how realistic is it to engrave more than 5 letter word?
Unless they had some sort of laser etcher, not very
putting qr codes on the bullets which lead to a website selling nft. Ah, the future of adventurism is so bright with new technology
BulletCoin, value is determined by the gross annual income of the person shot with it
"I ❤️ girl dick"
someone stole my ammo goddamnit 

Blacks rule
Steve Crowder says that ATF sent him info on the gun. Trump admin is marshaling the executive to work with right wing media to make sure they get info first (this was hours ago). They're all going to work together to write the script for this event.

First reaction: lmao how fucking stupid do they think we are 
Second reaction: oh wait they're not talking to us, they're talking to the motherfuckers who are that stupid 
This is so blatantly made up, It's insulting to the intellect.
Which is why you just know chuds are gonna believe every word of it.
How big were the fucking bullets?
Parenti's books are pretty short but that's still thousands of words.
The perp, if taken alive, will be forced to sign an admission they're trans.
Hell yeah transgender ideology
Transgender ideology: AMAB without a skirt? Death.
"Blacks Rule"
The feds were too lazy to even say the exact words that are supposed to be on the casings. Like are they suggesting the rounds had the word Woke on them. That would rule honestly
Blacks rule
this is the reason I wanted the guy to be caught. hes definitely a chud, and the faster he got caught the less believable the misinformation campaign would've been
Engraving "respect the dignity of others" on a bullet
Looks like a lot of stuff to even attempt to write on a 63mm cartridge
It's hard to guess but I liked Caitlin Johnstone's take: what leftist would have the skills to pull this off and then waste them on a mediocre pathetic highly replacable nobody like Charlie Kirk? More likely it's inter-chud drama
