Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
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 not just the twitter.com URL but also Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance). 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.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed.
Mass-tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken Markov chain bot will result in a comm ban.
Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.
Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned.
Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society.
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.
