Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

MODERATORS
It is just a month ago I read a dead serious article about Russia now being so short of vehicles that they were riding donkeys and camels into battle.
Before this war I genuinely believed no one could be stupid enough to believe this level of nonsense; the last few years have been particularly illuminating.
Me five years ago: "thank god we have the internet now, and the ability of people to talk with others on the other side of the Earth makes them much less likely to swallow nationalist war propaganda"
Me now: "half of European citizens are fascist white supremacists and at the very least need years worth of reeducation"
Saw somebody say that an explosio in a shopping center in Poland was set by russia to harm the Polish economy and just like... Why? What would be the point of taking an insane risk lile this for the .0000000001% of the economy that any given shopping center provides?
Or the severed communications line line in the baltic. How would that serve any Russian objective (later it was found a civilian vessel dragged an anchor).
Abducting 700,000 kids and rehoming them, or alternately, deporting 700,000 kids. Why? That costs money? What do they stand to gain materially from that?" They'll say it's genocide, but unlike Israel, there isn't any record of Russian officials or church leaders or even a popular front calling for Ukranian genociding. Then these motherfuckers have the gall to accuse us of conspiracy theories.
The media has successfully convinced them to turn off their brains regarding this
