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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

I yearn for a world where the US cannot murder without consequence

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 79 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This is the biggest fuckin thing! If I even suggest to family or coworkers that america shouldn't be allowed to just bomb anyone across the planet at any fucking time deemed necessary, I am somehow the one without a head in my shoulders. That's utopian or living in a dream world, or the powers that be obviously have a good reason because we wouldn't just kill people

But we do

[–] DaMummy@hexbear.net 45 points 2 days ago

We only kill because we're the good guys though. Those were good Christian bombs that were used. We had to kill them because they're violent.

I want to remind everyone that the Nicki Minaj gave a speech at the United Nations last month asking Trump to do military action in Nigeria.

I didn't know there was oil in Nigeria. You learn something new every day.

[–] trabpukcip@hexbear.net 63 points 2 days ago

Second largest known oil deposits in Africa

[–] StalinIsMaiWaifu@lemmygrad.ml 44 points 2 days ago

Lmao, look the Nigerian civil war, weirdest alliances of the cold war because of oil

i seriously enjoy this map it helps a huge amount to see how these resources are partitioned and what capitalists own the rights to that partition

on Christmas Day no less, I was expecting Venezuela to be hit first

[–] theblurstoftimes@leminal.space 31 points 2 days ago (1 children)

It’s like they’re doing everything they can to piss people from somewhere to attack the us.

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Trying to kick off a religious war?

[–] ZWQbpkzl@hexbear.net 19 points 2 days ago

Many an intern in the administration have a fantasy about that. The Zionists prefer it that way too. But the hard material reality is Venezuela and their oil exports to China.

[–] 10TH_OF_SEPTEMBER_CALL@hexbear.net 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Trying? Wave vaguely at the world

[–] MayoPete@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago

I wish people could just get along. It literally takes less energy to just leave people alone ugh

[–] Acute_Engles@hexbear.net 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Two truth posts containing "scum" referring to people in a short period from the president

Cool

ISIS is israel for muslims. They're only supposed to attack countries the west doesn't like.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 22 points 2 days ago

war everywhere i guess

[–] Maeve@kbin.earth 22 points 2 days ago

Maybe Nigeria will cotton on and join the Sahel in socialism, finally.
