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.

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.

I want him to try paying them in cryptocoins
Everybody gets a check for 1,200 stablecoins
Then stablecoin stops being stable and the cryptomarket explodes again
stablecoins but instead of being pegged to the dollar they have pictures of horsies on them
Melania coin plz
Start a war in Nigeria or Venezuela while the troops are being paid in IOUs, see what happens.
Imagine there could be some open positions in enterprising Nigerian escort companies. Maybe even some Prince's entourage.
In case you're wondering, well yes, I'm gon fight,
I'm finta join the Army, but one you don't like.
I think when people do extremely vital work it's pretty important to see them well compensated and this might just be my opinion idk i don't read books but i think "upholding the structure of state sanctioned and monopolized violence that holds the entire capitalist property relations system together" is a pretty important job from the perspective of a capitalist
Apparently not 
Basically the #1 thing to not do as any government
Not to be a lib, but Donald Trump really is just porky styling on anyone to the left of Hitler.
They do all of this, and know damn well the working class are too loyal to even be hurt by this.
Yeah, I don’t know, I think there’s a special brain melt in Americans that makes these truisms kind of irrelevant. We are the most propagandized people in human history. These hogs will starve themselves to starve others, we’ve achieved a truly remarkable break through in group psychology

I wonder if the black market for stolen military goods is getting a nice load of fresh supply in rn. Hell I wonder if there's gonna be enough desperate soldiers making such a glut of common goods that they'd risk pinching the more tightly controlled "Significant Military Equipments"
Disclaimer: don't buy illegal items from any shady marketplace. I do not condone doing so highly recommend staying away.
Do not download Tor Browser and do not go on .onion auction sites and do not buy discount war materiel in Bitcoin
No really, don't.
but if I had a gundam...
What if I want to go to prison?
there's easier ways to do it, like giving food to homeless people.

Well, if this story is anything to go by, I'd expect the black market to be booming: Guardsman tried to send military radio to Russia in violation of export laws, DOJ says
thats just good plain old espionage and treason. I'm talking about that good old-fashioned domestic black market smuggling and selling you can only get when some boot assigned to dispose of equipment or is in charge of logistics just so happens to make something that wouldn't be missing coincidentally and completely un-causally connected disappear and some death cult gunfucker just so happens to show his buddies this new toy he got from a friend of a friend.
That sounds oddly somewhat, specific. But that's none of my business.
its actually more common than you'd think.
Why don't they eat him
He's too damp for most cooking methods
High heat, like a mushroom
Yeah, let's slice him up and dehydrate him into chips like what the Ferengi do
They’re Americans.
All Trump has to do is say “Come on…war crimes are based and redpilled! You want to be internet cool, don’t you?”
Not quite enough wax.
Going underprepared into the winter months, you say?
There are so many opportunities for radicalization lately. Shit's ripe
Sounds like car repo auctions are about to have a bumper crop of heavily abused Dodge Chargers and Challengers

We all know they'll get what they need, but in the meantime, GOOD. Starve, you fuckers
TrueAnon rule, always pay your guys.
the troops should be paid per kill, not just for sitting around on some base 😒
Troops start coming back to base with a suspicious number of scalps
Turns out they've just been raiding wig stores
Which rule of Brace's was this?
Pay your men.
Bonus marchers 2.0?
Anerican
oops
lol. lmao.
starving genocide supporters is good, let them eat crayons and things of that nature
They're gonna end up quartering the troops in liberal cities. The libs will make a big fuss about this flagrant violation of the third ammendment. Trump will continue to do what he wants.
:fuck-around:
Oh no! Anyway~
all the repo'd camaros.
