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.

Is shooting one person a mass shooting?
I wouldn't think I'd need to explain this to you, as a once "very important person".
But some people are simply worth more than others. They are better, you see.
There exists a hierarchy of individuals in which some individuals have more inherent value than other individuals, a ranking if you will.
Upholding the hierarchy is akin to upholding the laws of nature, and acting against the hierarchy is akin to breaking the laws of nature and is, by definition, evil.
It is clearly mental illness to consider yourself equal to your betters, and I'd advise everyone to seek aid if they feel the need to flatten any hierarchies.
I did card check for public sector employees, raised the minimum wage, and tried to sell a senate seat. I do not recognize the laws of the richest Americans, which is how I became a political prisoner and developed a relationship with Donald Trump.
These new anime titles are getting out of hand
This is a brave post when not using a .hexbear account
I think the sarcasm is clear, plus they have “anarcho” in their name while talking about how awesome hierarchies are, pretty obvious lol.
You never know sometimes people here can’t parse sarcasm.
Yeah it is but I was kinda drunk when I read it last night lol so it was tricky to parse
Well said. This is why I always ask what people do for a living after asking for their name to determine if it is worth my time to engage in interaction with them.
P.S. I never remember their name. I always remember their profession. Janitor? NEXT
I open with my profession so they know whether it's worth their time speaking to me. It's only polite. I have a little fun, too. One day I'll be an accountant. One day I'll be a pot washer but in the military to watch them try to work out which 'troop' and 'lowlife' is the descriptor and which one is the profession.
in this case it was a center mass shooting
This made me nod like Zak galafanakis on the bus. Well done.
They're trying to insist he has mass shooter vibes and they're furious he doesn't have the chudjak look
nobody's buying the incel angle, he just doesn't fit the bill
I guess if he’s a big guy
For you?
Are we bane posting now
They expect one of us in the comments, brother
Governor:
Nice interview with that chapo boy, Felix
Keep up the crimes. Good job. You're always the real governor in my heart
Thanks. I think we can all recognize that the senators are the real criminals, not the guy selling the senate seat.
Words don't mean anything
Center of mass shooting
Only if they're a fat cat.
