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.

UPDATE: my mom knocked on my bedroom door and was all "did you hear about that guy who burned down the warehouse" and it was basically but irl
Oh that's fine its a warehouse it will just turn back into a normal house during the day
If you light it on fire it turns into a werehouse
First day of work: “This is the most flammable building in existence.”
Last day of work: “This is the most flammable building in existence.”
"This was the most flammable building in existence."
goes extremely hard
Doing your part to end school shootings.

Ontario, California (near Los Angeles), not Canada.
So it’s abbreviated as Ontario, CA? That’s great.
Opening an English themed bar named London in Ontario, CA just to confuse people.
"Yeah, we're going to a birthday thing in London this weekend."
"You're going to England for a weekend??"
"No, London in Ontario, the one with the Beefeaters special"
"You're going to Canada for gin??!"
"No, London in Ontario in California"
Also Werewolves of London will be playing on repeat.
It's the hipster airport for when LAX is too mainstream
your honor why in God's green earth would my client burn it all down, this is a case of mistaken identity
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that's why I do some sabotage.
Boss makes a dollar,
I make a dime,
Ignore the hunger,
Highlight the crime
No way to prevent this says only economic system where this regularly happens.
he certainly stuck to his message. only complaints im seeing is that he possibly endangered others but the place looked totally closed and empty*___*
I have a relative that did something similar to a financial institution while it was closed.
If you are gonna do adventures folks make sure only property and non civilian targets are harmed.
My name is partly dedicated to him actually. Also if you are wondering he was never caught and died in a 90s version of a goon cave of health issues brought on by age and chronic alcoholism in a motel in long Beach.
He was a weird dude but one of the real ones.
Lmao that emoji is more apt than you can possibly imagine.
I picked it for a reason lol, the IRA did their best to avoid civilian casualties and primarily targeted property and icons of oppression (I consider occupying forces to be property)
Not a member but I believe he was affiliated, we did learn after his death that he was part of the Weathermen.
Gets kicked out of the UK for doing revolutionary shit against the brits during the troubles
Gets put on a boat to the US
Immediately joins up with the one revolutionary group blowing shit up and firebombs a bank of america
You wish you had a cool unc like me.
And local collaborators
collaborators
So not civilians
I'm not saying they can't be valid targets, but you don't need to be paramilitary to be a collaborator, you can just have given testimony or something about what you saw one time and thereby be a collaborator.
Everyone always shits on the IRA (provos) specifically for the way they handled collaborators, but man, just look at how literally ever occupational war has been carried out since WW2. They were downright civil compared to literally every other conflict.
Certainly as guerillas in a colony existing right next to its colonial master, which was easily among the most powerful and depraved countries in the world, they were in an extremely desperate position throughout.
Nice lore drop. For legal reasons I will avoid commenting on whether I find this to be based. Him managing to STFU about it and live out his life certainly seems like a rare quality.
You're posting on the shit owl communist bear bean website and are very normal ™️
This is where revolutionaries are, got that proletarian understanding on lock, compared to reformists
Except getting away with it unfortunately
One might think so, but burning 1000 warehouses over 1000 prisoner sentences is an exchange most conscious masses should be able to take. Put it another way, better than getting shot in a cop city protest
I wonder how long he'll get
Twisted Firebug. Good band name.
aka The Person who's Really Good at Something at an Earlier Age than is Typical for Someone to be Good at the Thing
should've been twisted firestarter. Missed opportunity
Good job!!!
twisted firebug
to the joker he is a normal firebug
they still do warehouses? I thought everything was zero inventory nowadays
Everyone wishes they had zero inventory.
However, less quippy, as long as everything in that warehouse has a known buyer, it can be considered 'zero inventory'. It's a production philosophy, not an exact description. I doubt that is what this company was doing though.
