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.

Wellp, we tried, back to taking CEOs hostage and dangling them off a bridge until they give the workers what they want.
(I know this will never happen, I just want to enjoy some cope
)
Let me join
Tbh while this is kinda scary, I do think it will lead to people becoming more militant/radicalized as the other comrade replied.
There was someone on r/union who mentioned that his MAGA coworkers thought that the tariffs would increase their work, but instead they are facing layoffs and work stoppages they stopped wearing the or trump hats and are taking off their bumper stickers. Kinda gives me hope that more people will come over to the commie side. Or they just become more fascist I guess
my only hope is that this admin is so openly fascist there's no where else to go in that direction (excluding shaving their head and becoming some gutter punk skinhead) every branch of American fascism (christian nationalists, nat cons, and yarvinists) are full integrated into maga. so if they abandon maga, the most they can do is go lone wolf against their own, go left, or totally disengage (disengagement is going to be getting closed off to most soon)
basically, the fascism is already here and proving itself shit. worst case scenario is a new resurgent, Strasserist psuedo-socialism from the Tucker wing but i think that's even weaker then we are right now. and it's too embedded into mega as well, basically everyone has gone in HARD on this thinking it's the one and only chance and blown their load
I would hope this is true but there are still a lot of true believers in Trump who I've met even recently, unfortunately. Purely anecdotal, though.
I think they will still go for more extreme fascism in the future.
oh i don't doubt the whole movement can shift further. i mean it is right now, just slower then it was earlier.
it really comes down to how fast they destroy living conditions locally. for every "trump is my whole identity" fandom adherent you have a normie "i'm a conservative until something effects me".
it's a big country with a huge armed population. if the true believers get reduced to some tiny percentage and try to genocide 75% of the population (all non-"heritage americans") like they want to: it's unprecedented. they don't have the numbers
only option would be a systemic nuclear carpet bombing of the whole nation (excluding their enclaves) or the movement to abandon everything and fall back into fortified micro-Israels and Gaza everyone else. either way the U.S. falls.
Yeah, definitely loving the California-Texas battle at the moment. Anything that furthers balkanization.
I just don't know yet if MAGA Trumpers will really reduce to such a small minority. I'm still very much in doubt that it'll disappear but I agree their movement is slowing, I just think they'll start accelerating further to the Right again when the conditions allow it. You're right though that it eventually and inevitably lead to collapse of the Empire. I just hope not to die before it happens because of some dumbass fascist shit. Haha
i just hope it happens before i get too old and broken to be able to react. if it really takes a while i'll be so old i won't be a threat but it looks more like "old enough so that you can be easily hunted by fascist zoomers that see you as a big scary threat"
You're right. We should hunt the zoomers now just to be safe.
Honestly, would be happy to see it happen at any age. As long as I'm alive and not senile, I could die in peace.
i just want an exit strategy so i don't get tortured to death or imprisoned. sorry if this is too grim. i've been on the inside of shit and will not go back alive
Nah, not at all. I'm really sorry you went through that.
I've never been but I am of the exact same opinion. Hope we both make it to see the new world without the Empire, Comrade!
The workers have done it before and they'll do it again. The only problem is life has to be míserable for them to start doing that again, so suffering will be guaranteed to go up first
Union guys named Mario have the opportunity to do something really funny.
