news
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.
hey now, that parasite is RFKs long time friend.
The poop is coming from inside the butt. Evacuate now.
Why does it feel like they're trying to find the newest worst ways to make everything worse for everyone every single day just for the sheer sake of the cruelty of it. No more monitoring for THE LITERAL BLACK DEATH? hahaha hahhhhhhh okay
CW eugenics, genocide
because the ones who aren't just in it to grift are nazi eugenicists, and killing off millions of "useless eaters" is part of the climate genocide/fortress america project
Yeah, the MAHA shit isn't even profit-maxxxing it's literally just a form of eugenics at its ideological core.
There's a reason, we're in the "rip the copper wiring out of the walls" stage of empire. Or at least what I like to tell myself to not give into the dread of we're in for another 250 years of this depravity. Anyway my case in point is doge coming in and firing all the last competent managers of the decline to line more gold in Trump, his family, and friend's pockets.
If you can afford to not shit yourself to death then you deserve to survive. There's a significant portion of the bourgeoisie that consider most of humanity to be surplus and cheer on the deaths of the "undeserving". Dismantling public health infrastructure accelerates the process.
For me it has the same energy as the way other public spaces got destroyed in the wake of the Civil Rights Act, say. Better to fill the public pool up with cement and close it than possibly allow black people to swim. Or the way everything costs money or is hostile architecture now because otherwise homeless people or teenagers might loiter there (the criminalization of "loitering" is another consequence of giving up on Reconstruction).
The present crisis of capitalism is shooting off all kinds of strange light and heat and sparks. The end of public health is one of those.
Trust the plan, worms are in control.
This is a good thing, poop doesn't need to be solid, that's woke
Now the toilets won't get clogged anymore, and the US can finally beat Iran! 
Dropping diarrhea to own the Ayatollah. The perfect attack! 😎
Center for Disease Cultivation
Shithole country. Literally.
I see the lesson they learned from COVID was “if we don’t report on it then it doesn’t exist.”
it's a perfect system
That diarrhea could be frim anything really. Just like your heart flutter and autoimmune disorder
"I sure wish I didn't live in a surveillance state!"
Monkey's Paw: *Curls one finger*
