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:

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.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

DPRK Foreign Ministry Spokesperson on Israel's Attack on Iran

Pyongyang, March 1 (KCNA) -- A spokesperson for the Foreign Ministry of the DPRK issued the following press statement on Sunday:

Israel's military attack on Iran, launched under the U.S. active support and patronage, and the military action of the U.S. which joined in it are an illegal act of aggression and the most despicable form of violation of sovereignty in their nature from A to Z.

The fact that the U.S military threat to Iran, continued in the region for a long time, would be led to a realistic military invasion has already been within the range of possible prediction, and it is a sure logical result from the U.S. hegemonic and rogue nature.

The DPRK condemns in the strongest tone the shameless rogue act of the U.S. and Israel which put their domestic law before the recognized international law and do not hesitate to abuse military muscle in order to realize their selfish and hegemonic ambition.

The U.S. increased acts for hegemony witnessed by the international community this year are a positive example to show their destructive role destroying global peace and stability and its grave consequences.

The tyranny's high-handed and arbitrary practices which do not face powerful counteraction and adequate resistance, make those countries directly related to the regional situation pay dear price and give rise to concern that they may have a negative effect, which can not be disregarded politically, economically and geopolitically, on the region which has no connection with the present Iranian situation.

The world highlights again the history in which the U.S. destroyed peace in the Middle East for its hegemonic interests decades ago but met with the geopolitical failure and strategic setback after all.

The war of aggression by the U.S. and Israel, which can never be justified with anything, can never be tolerated in any case.

The relevant and interested parties in the region would be well advised to correctly grasp the essence of the offenders who chose aggression and war under the pretext of fake peace, and to fulfill their due responsibility in switching the situational trend in the Middle East back to peace and stability. -0-
