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.

The answer is 
double genocide theory, soft holocaust denial
The Germans weren’t upset about the Holocaust, they were upset that they lost. Now their descendants cynically exploit it to support yet another genocide. If they could do it again they would, the only difference being that they would make sure to only target the correct victims this time.
Truly wretched and worthless blight on humanity. Morgenthau plan was already an extremely generous compromise. The very idea of Germany should have been blown into a billion pieces and scattered to the wind, and the language eradicated so I don’t have to hear their grating bloviating about their cynical fake “””atonement”””.
you're making a lot of good points, and I'm here for it
Given that she was a major figure pushed in the first grades in germany, I suspected as much.
red hair innit
I grew up reading Astrid Lindgren in the 80s and 90s. I watched Inger Nilsson, and the newer American adaptation in the late 80s. I read those books over and over again. Her superhuman strength, her dad the always-gone sea captain, her horse that lived on the porch.
One or two lines of questionable dialogue, but other than that good books for a growing kid to read.
her dad the always-gone sea captain
Just don't look up what his title originally was 
Is this a Lovecraft's Cat situation?
Yea. The taboo on racial slurs was never really considered by authors in Scandinavia until later, you still had children's authors writing about racial tolerance while using what are just straight slurs until the late 90s.
Edit:I should clarify. This is not a defense or an excuse. It is ridiculous and embarrassing.
Should have stayed pirate
What's wrong with calling a guy the Fat White Chief especially when the word cracker hadn't yet proliferated
His title was originally the [N-word] king of Kunkurudut or however you spell the Island's name
You didn't look hard enough
I asked google ai don't @ me tell them about it
Peepee longstalking
