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.
Ali Khaled Bani Odeh, 37, his 35-year-old wife, Waad, and two of their children, Mohammad and Othman, ages 5 and 7, were each shot in the head in the village of Tammun, while two of their other children sustained injuries, according to Palestinian health authorities.
The only ones they are capable of doing this to are the defenseless. We've seen what happens when they try to take on people who can't be bullied, they get annihilated.
I wish every Israeli to never sleep a peaceful night again. Let missiles rain on you and your loved ones forever until you face retribution for everything you've done and are completely and utterly destroyed.
Never feel sympathy for any of the Israeli scum being bombed by Iran right now.
They deserve far worse than what Iran's currently giving them.
Oh I briefly forgot that I stopped caring about getting banned as I was typing this and tempered my post too much.
Oh well maybe next time.
Palestinian people deserves for being bombed, cause they killed civilians at 7 october and they would kill people like me who is gay and non-believer.
You don't see any irony in a polish person saying Palestinians deserve to be genocided because Palestine isn't inclusive enough? Do you also feel like you deserve to be genocided because poland isn't inclusive enough?
Fuck off you piece of shit
Fuck off reactionary
Just how twisted do you have to be to reply to a post of children and their families dying with "they deserve it"? When a few hundred white people die, it's a massacre, but, when thousands of innocent Palestinian children die, they deserve it?
Racist piece of shit, I hope you suffer a painful and long death
Eat shit and die Zionazi.
Drink your camel urine, katwa pig
"Some people of ‘Ukl or ‘Uraina tribe came to Medina and its climate did not suit them ... So the Prophet ordered them to go to the herd of Milch camels and to drink their milk and urine (as a medicine). ... So they went as directed and after they became healthy" -Sahih al-Bukhari 233
Hey I think this video might fill in some missing context on October 7th that might change your mind: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IJ3PV_P9zcA
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The only good israeli is a dead israeli. Scum of the earth inbred culture of nazis. Hope Iran develops that nuke.
After killing his family, IOF terrorists pulled one of the surviving children, 12, from the bullet-ridden vehicle and beat him.
These people are fucking demons.
There are still people out there who think the mass murderers in the IDF deserve human rights
Are Israelis just born with rabies or something? They need to be put the fuck down.
as always.
