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.

Reconstruction could have changed the entire landscape of humanity.
What we got instead resulted in this deranged sister fucker threatening violence over some of the oldest civilizations in history.
There's no appreciation for the Middle East among European colonizers. Even the Israelis go out of their way to destroy priceless landmarks, despite claiming they're the real indigenous population of Palestine.
Jerico is one example. It's the oldest continually lived-in city in human history, going back to at least 9,000 BC. It's located in the West Bank. So, of course the Palestinians living their are under occupation by people who want to bulldoze the whole thing and pave over it with parking lots for chain restaurants and shopping malls.
The city is older than writing, wheels, alcoholic beverages, and smelting. Yet these fucks would see it burn to the ground out of pure spite for the Palestinians living there.
I don't know if despite is quite the right word here. All those priceless landmarks and archaeological sites tend to get in the way of their false claims of indigeneity so they must be 
The No Gods No Mayors on Benjamin Butler got me whistful as hell. Imagine what levels of reconstruction (and corruption) he could achieved if he had just accepted Lincolns vice presidency.
Having a dope ass Russia, dope ass Middle East, dope ass Africa, and dope ass Central America would probably go so hard in a counterfactual world where everything wasn't looted and violently abused to make Star Bucks cups and Yatchs.
Well MY religion says you're being reincarnated as a roach
Going from a bloated bloody tick to a roach would be a step up for him
Then maybe he needs to come back as a worm and feel what it's like for his body to be crushed like he's crushed us. Maybe learn something during that moment a bird grabs his limp body out of the ground and he is powerless to have his guts bitten through.
so every country has a right to defend themselves against israel since there’s no argument to be made that they’re not gonna be next
all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.
israel also has the book-of-mormonic right to conquer all of the US....
Mormons think that they’re latter-day ancient Israelites and that the foundation of the US was divinely inspired so this is basically cannon to them
18 On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram and said, “To your descendants I give this land, from the Wadi[river] of Egypt to the great river, the Euphrates— 19 the land of the Kenites, Kenizzites, Kadmonites, 20 Hittites, Perizzites, Rephaites, 21 Amorites, Canaanites, Girgashites and Jebusites.”
Genesis 15: 18-21
He ain't wrong
Jebusites
looking around to the other people in the audience like, "this is wild... you're hearing this, right?"
Like that time Chirac had to call a theologian to ask what the fuck W was talking about with "Gog and Magog"
Monsieur Chircac, c'est a little joke. "She gog on magog til I W"
Nobody has read that shit they can just make up whatever they want
I just assume whatever he’s saying about what’s in there is true. ‘The book of peter says Israel shall extend to the alps’ and I’d think ‘that tracks’
They don't call America the Great Satan for nothing!
The Bible doesn’t use the language of “rights,” even if you’re trying to use it as a justification for foreign policy.
