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.

The mistake is in thinking any reveal at all will be big. World extinction could and is upon us and that "big reveal" will be met with shrugs as people simply go about their day anyway as the food, water, and clean air supplies dwindle. Not because they don't believe it (though for some that will be true), or even that they don't care (though for some that will be true), but because they are or at least believe themselves to be, completely powerless (for all of us this is true).
Libs change sides on issues constantly when it suits them. Im suggesting that we're going to see a major about face in regard to Zionism in the near future as the most severe stories see the light of day, not that suddenly humanity is going to be enlightened lol
That's optimistic.
I mean yeah, this is their Trail of Tears moment. It's fucked up that the world always waits for the genocide to be over and then says "oh yeah, terrible tragedy, if only we had done something." The big obvious fucking difference is that we all were here present witnessing this one and we did nothing. I'm not blaming the population on this one, we all have our own problems to fucking focus on due to capitalism distracting us with, y'know, barely surviving.
But that's always been the case as long as I've lived, and until we fucking do something drastic like completely overthrowing current power dynamics, none of us call the shots and we're all aware of it, and real systemic change is just a pipe dream as it currently stands.
So yeah, you're right, we're all gonna be upset about the whole thing while we continue to go to our jobs and consume our food, water, and media, and do absolutely fucking nothing. Because we're slaves, and slaves don't speak up until living under slavery isn't worth it, and dying for the freedom of the future is all that's left.
