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.

Whaaat? no! I think that the words YOU SAID are antisemetic, and incorrect
These words. This is incorrect, you have it backwards. It is capitalism, and the systems which hold it in place, that do these things.
No I'm not! We agree about that! However, your analysis that Israel is in charge of US capital, is incorrect, and your words are very similar to very common antisemetic bullshit that you see everywhere, often said by people who DO think that israel = all jewish people
correct
correct
Idk, I think you and I are just talking past each other here, I am flabbergasted because each of your replies was completely unrelated to the things I was trying to say, not sure if I just fucked up my explanations or WHAT but
fuck off you scumbag, saying I'm somehow supporting genocide, can you even fucking read? holy shit
Thank you I will
Don't be so hasty, there are people who are addressing you in a somewhat more even-handed manner too. Are you sincere with the thoughts that you're expressing?
AIPAC obviously does not control Washington, Washington permits AIPAC to help keeps its minions (congresspeople, etc.) in line. It makes no sense to assert that Israel was able to do a hostile takeover of one of the ~3 countries that founded it (and also the other surviving founder, the UK, and several other countries) by spending money that their founders gave them.
No one is defending genocide and it's a really gross thing to say that they are, one that comes off as extremely dishonest and manipulative, though I can't rule out that you just aren't following what is being said to you. Everyone here agrees that Israel is committing genocide and in fact that it should be destroyed. The disagreement is specifically that Israel dominates the US, because it is a rabid attack dog the US uses to attack and destabilize its opponents in the Middle East. "Israel isn't controlling the US" isn't meant to defend Israel's character; if it could simply dictate what the US does, it absolutely would, but it does not have that power and this attempt to basically externalize the misdeeds of the US to the agency of Israel is a trap for one's political analysis.
Also, respond to my other comment where I go over these things in more detail.
He's not gonna, he's just gonna say some more unhinged .midwest shit after not reading your comment at all, then call you a genocide defender also
He's talking past people a little (he's already spoken past me some) but I'm still interested in seeing what he says, even if it's just a justification that believing that global capital exists is such a conspiracy theory that it's not worth engaging with (which is basically what he said before, admittedly). At worst, it could be funny.
