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.

-
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.

This touches on something I’ve been thinking about with regards to the ongoing schism happening in the American right between the pro and anti-Israel factions.
I think that as support for the Zionist project among the American public collapses, people like Tucker Carlson or Nick Fuentes are positioning themselves to be central figures of the right when the Trump train inevitably implodes and the American empire decides that blind support for Israel is no longer of the upmost importance. Obviously I’m just speculating about the future but I can easily imagine that as immiseration within America continues, biosphere collapse hastens, and the cost of running empire abroad becomes too high, these kinds of truly anti-Semitic voices are going to be much more mainstream. Fascism is colonization turned inward etc. etc.
Agreed. Outright jew hatred is gonna have a huge resurgence once Israel stops being useful to the empire.
So once they purge the Muslims from Western society they'll start doing Holocaust 2.0 on Jews?
Hearing how Zionists talk about anti Zionist Jews, I don't think it's out of the realm of possibilities. But I meant more so the evangelical right in the US is already antisemitic and only tolerates Jews insofar as they can help them bring about the rapture or whatever quackery they're on. I think the capitalist class might capitalize on that and actually purge the neocolony in order to create a Christian extremist settler colony in the place of Israel, but I may have been smoking too much when I thought that since it sounds pretty fucking Out of pocket to me now.
Is Tucker Carlson an anti-Semite? I don't follow him, but I don't think I've ever heard any antisemitism from him. Fuentes for sure is an anti-semite, but Tucker seems like a paleo conservative. I just don't like the anti-semitism being thrown around at any criticism of Israel.
Everyone on the right is anti semitic so yes
to your last point i really don’t think that’s been a problem on hexbear. to your question, yes, it’s not as nakedly obvious as fuentes with his neo hitlerjugend shit but tucker is very much a part of the no jews in the country club wing.
Carlson is a white nationalist, of course he's an anti-semite.
I agree that Tucker is an anti-semite, but being a white nationalist doesn’t necessarily imply being an anti-semite.
There’s a whole country of Jewish white nationalists.
In name only. They're just using their religion as a shield against criticism. israel was founded by secular Zionist Jews.
Bad take
What
Idk really I’m not sure what point I thought was making
Makes sense.
