farnsworth good news everyone!

Over on reddit-logo world news, they've decreed that Iran deserved it and those in the tv station were propagandists who had ample time to flee. Also they deserved it because Iran beheads people and stones people and does things that reddit-logo thinks are bad but curiously vague and seems like something they heard about but nevermind they're clearly bad and everyone there deserves to die if they don't immediately topple the big bad Ayatollah.

I swear literal smooth brains over there that accept the word of western propaganda without a second thought, while not even realizing how much they've come to love the taste of boot.

The only Iranian beheading I'm finding anything on is a man who beheaded his 17-year-old wife, but he was then convicted of murder and sentenced to 8 years in prison for it (not enough imo), so not exactly endorsed by the state. They must be confusing Iran with one of Amerikkka's allies like Saudi Arabia who beheads hundreds of people every year

Edit: Iran carries out their executions by hanging so yeah they're full of shit.

rat-salute thank you for the information. I suspected it was just some bullshit tropes that they have been repeating endlessly in their echo chamber.

I tried visiting; it's infinitely worse than you've made it sound; your post is the G rated version of what they're saying over there.

God I hate reddit; God I hate the freaks over there so much.

And every single one of them considers themselves a discerning, clever individual cursed-woog

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:

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.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
