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.

So. Are we all just gonna die? Like by the time there is finally some fucking left movement in the world - it's already too late? What a circus
No, not all of us. Even in the worst climate change scenarios probably not literally everyone will die. Life will get shittier and shittier, and billions of people will die.
something we got to remember is that even if climate change kills 99% of humanity, there's still gonna be about 8 million people fighting the class war and trying to scratch out a living on a dying world
Yeah, 99.9% even for 8 million.
shit you right, i did my math wrong
It won’t be the end of the world but it will feel like it.
It’ll be the end of billions of “worlds” contained in their human heads, that will for sure happen.
Poor countries first.
Looking at how COVID was handled, I'm not completely sure of that
The global south will be the ones fully bearing the sins of the Imperial Core.
We’ll weather it better than the global north sissies who scream about masculinity while throwing fits when they don’t have the best facilities to maintain their excessive lifestyle.
Yeah we're all mortals. Death isn't the issue, it's that select few assholes decided to needlessly ruin, stifle and sabotage shit and prevent progress. The problem isn't just that they're ruining everything, they're forcing everyone else to dedicate time and effort into building bombs to survive, pour resources into producing tanks instead of revitalizing life.
Some of the most dedicated hard working people I've ever met all have fucking died due to social murder. People with top of the line scores in studies, died in their 20's and I can't do anything to stop that. The most infuriating part is people who rush to me with emotional support which I don't care about. I want solutions I don't need hope built on lies.
Basically
