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.
plot twist: he gets deported to Bahrain and he and his son die to the same shahed
future 
in the making?
Probably more like McVeigh. But either way, this is how you make a "terrorist".
But did he get to play GTA6 a few days early?
they should give him an extra gray flap for dinner as consolation
ICE really is stepping on the military's toes more and more. I wonder if they'll end up actually having a proper confrontation?
Im going all in on nothing happening
some dsa governor we don't like because they say the right electoral things instead of dropping maoist standard english diatribes on national television is going to snap and send the national guard against ice
Sorry, do I have to empathize with them? The murderers for the evil empire, their complicit relatives and acquaintances, can fuck themselves for all I care. Either in the cars they're living in or in the streets while high on meth.
They aren't worth a single tear shed by a Palestinian girl.
Yep. Fuck the troops. I don't feel bad for Nazi soldiers and I don't feel bad for American soldiers.
we don't know anything about his dad. even if pops is also a chud, he doesn't deserve what ice is doing to people.
At this moment, no American did shit to deserve a pass. History will judge y'all the same, so don't feign that either Genocide Joe or Zio Harris would do anything differently. They would just keep the farce domestically, and the American indifference would be even more cruel.
The only ones deserving pity are the poor workers who are treated poorly and have no ties to the Evil Empire. That guy is not one of them.
I noticed that the propaganda had actually gotten to me and that I did feel bad about these people. But now I realise that they have been part of the same operation that bombed a girls school three times and I have been cured of my empathetic feelings towards them.
"I didn't kill kids in Iran to be deported!"
It's his dad being deported, not him.
“I didn’t kill kids in Iraq to be deported!”
was dad a boot?
No idea, but boot is hereditary quite often
Turns out we have to actually fight them over here to not get deported or deployed over there.
They being the fascists in our own country.
They aren't worth a single tear shed by a Palestinian girl. I’m withholding my judgment of you for now.
Neither will I, I was inverting the "fight them over there so we don't have to fight them over here" bullshit.
The point is that to stop exporting death and protect anyone in the US we have to destroy this fascist settlers colonial empire. Sorry if it came off differently to you.
I even clarified in my op that the them over here was the US government so I don't know what you are getting at.
oops, son 'fought' the wrong enemy for the wrong freedoms it seems
