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.

They're protestants they don't recognize the Pope or Vatican II. Anglican Catholic is an ironic misnomer.
Old Catholics (incl Norse) and Anglican Catholics basically want to rewrite the power of the Pope but keep other Catholic shit because they're control freaks.
~~edit: Actually I'm wrong Anglican Catholics got the Personal Ordinariate of the Chair of Saint Peter under Pope Frances in 2012.~~
~~For those of you that play Rogue Trader, it's basically a Warrant of Trade for the Church. They now are part of the Catholic order but their Personal Ordinariate allows them to mix up how they do communion and liturgy and shit.~~
~~Fucking 40k ass religion. Though I'm pretty sure the Pope would have stepped in to defrock him personally if the Anglican Church didn't.~~
EDIT 2:
Okay I'm wrong again. Personal Ordinariates allow for the followers of sects of Christianity to worship as Catholics using their own liturgical process when worshiping in a Church under the supervision of the Ordinary. The ACC doesn't recognize the Pope. Anglican Catholics in the US can simply worship as Catholics and take Catholic communion through the Ordinary Steven J. Lopes. The ACC itself has rejected the Personal Ordinariate and is not a part of the Catholic Church.
I repeat. Fucking 40k ass religion.
As someone who grew up protestant this lore is way too complicated for me.
yeah, no shit. all the ones I went to as a kid were just like, "all the other flavors are fake ass cults, especially the Catholics. we're the real deal and no I won't explain why because faith means it's self evident so stop asking questions" which is real easy to keep track of.
way too much pedigree and paperwork in Catholicism, even if the gear and vestments are more aesthetically intimidating in PvP.
I was actually taught why, I was still in a cult but once in a while I did get answers. Basically it came down to protestant vs catholic doctrine, specifically and especially in the gospel where Jesus says "nobody comes to the father but by me", and catholics pray to Mary and the Saints... So their ya go.
Sounds like Mexican Catholicism, but nowhere near as cool.
Is just a normal diocese.
I thought there was at least a difference in some churches in regards to the importance of Mary.
But I was raised just a tier above Christmas Catholic, so I have holes in my knowledge.
You're thinking of The Virgin of Guadelupe which used to be a folk tradition from the 1500's until the Church canonized it in the 1800's.
Ah, thanks for clearing up my confusion.
