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.
Edit: I realised that I spelled Pissingers name wrong in the title. Pity.

Holy shit! After all these decades Tom Lehrer finally managed to destroy his phylactery. 
My wife says that I seem happier than the day that we got married
Go give your wife a hug
Only the good die young
All the evil seem to live forever
Christmas keeps coming sooner and sooner
Iy's a beautiful sunny morning and kissinger is still dead
Best news to nap to
Lmao I hope his wife is suffering rn. I read the other day she wasn't charged after assaulting a woman at an airport after the woman called her husband a pedophile
'Nancy lunged at me and grabbed me by the throat,' Mrs. Kaplan said. 'Then she pushed her face close to mine and said, 'Do you want to get slugged.''
I'd post crabs but Kissinger won and the article makes that clear. Made it to 100 years old to die at home in his own bed surrounded by family. Still had his mind and was in decent health for his age. This was his final fuck-you to all that is decent and just in the world.
oh fuck it's real!
Holy shit y'all are fast
It's easier to imagine the end of the world than the death of Henry Kissenger
Hell just gained another demon 
FINALLY.
About goddamn time. Better late than never (I mean fucking obviously, I just wish it had been decades or even a century sooner).
I hope he died knowing that the empire he spent his life orchestrating atrocities for is also spiraling the drain.
🦀 all x 1000.
the fact that he died exactly at 100 makes it feel like he exhausted some kind of default time limit
in any case :crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party::crab-party:
came out to a friend yesterday and kissinger croaked shortly afterwards 
HENRY KISSINGER??? MORE LIKE HENRY KISSING DIRT!!!!!!!! Like 10 seconds after I heard the news I jumped into my car and went to go get a bottle of Champagne lol. I've said like a decade now that this is exactly what I'd do. Cheers comrades 🥂🥳🎉 
I was kinda hoping he would live to see the end of israel and ukraine but I suppose in his last moments he knew that everything he had worked for was going to expire soon.
That's really fuckin tragic, just a true shame that he was allowed to live to the venerable age of one hundred. RIP to millions of dead southeast Asians. The wicked lich of the west deserved to fuckin, get stung to death by a hive of fire ants, or eaten alive by a hippopotamus, or maybe trip and fall over one of those Honeywell cluster mines that he loved so much. Not die peacefully in his own home. Nonetheless.

What you thinking about babe?
Oh shit, I have muscular dystrophy and both my lungs collapsed this year and yet I outlived a blood-sucking demon! Get fucked neo-liberals!
Getting one of those tacky Calvin pissing car stickers and a custom Kissenger sticker.
Hasan is interviewing the author of the Rolling Stone article tomorrow
