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.
potential economic revitalization
undeveloped natural gas
No justice in this world. This is as gross as it gets
Wouldn't need revitalization if you didn't kill it in the first place with sanction and then literal bombs
No, no, you misunderstand! This isn't anything to do with people actually living in Gaza, it's an economic revitalization for private oil companies!
That’s it boys mystery solved.
This is why “no one knew” about the hamas attack in advance. It also explains the wildly high retaliation rate against anyone who voiced support for Palestine.
Have you ever heard of businesses talking about blacklisting college grads before?
INSANE!
Also increasingly looking like an Israeli occupation of the northern part of Gaza.
Genocide Joe, Genocide Joe, what was he planning, when did he know?
if it hadn't been for genocide joe
well nothin would be different, voting is for show
The man has to be a lizard alien in a skin suit, he's not even hiding it anymore.
Oddly enough the original "lizard people" thing is a just barely disguised anti-semetic screed in some book from the 70s. I hate it, the lizard people thing is so funny. : (
I think stuff like this is why their propaganda isn't as effective this time. They keep saying the quiet part out loud and thinking that the people are idiots. They forgot the most important rule of deceptive propaganda: You need to make your audience feel like a genius for believing it.
that tracks that fucking tracks
Hm, where have I heard this one before?
of course
every fucking time
and when you're free to consume and to use, you will service us with everything you produce
take it or leave it but know this one truth, we market this Freedom™ for you
live free or die
Cum, the most important natural resource
It suddenly makes sense why Germany, who used to get a lot of it's natural gas from Russia, is balls deep into this. And the fuckers try to spin it as "we need to make up for the holocaust 🙏". Fucking lizards
E.: on a further note, could this have anything to do with nearby countries turning a blind eye?
Pepe predicted this around 12:30. Maybe not an astonishing prediction but credit where it’s due.
