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.

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 western media's going to keep this up and eventually there's going to be turbo genocide against the jews since the average normie thinks that the jews, as a monolith, love genocide actually
in fact once
is finally brought down the west will 1000% blame "the jews" for everything
I was talking to a USA Democrat relative and she told me that watching Israel's actions had made her start to get angry when she saw Jewish people. And that she "knows about the holocaust and all that" but that she "doesn't feel sorry for them anymore" because what they're doing in Palestine is wrong. I was surprised that she was self-aware enough to realize she was developing a strong anti-Jewish prejudice, but also that she seemingly was okay or even proud of her prejudice. I tried to talk her out of it but she basically clammed up when I started talking about her duty as a person to counteract the prejudice.
Ultimately, it exposed some of the inner workings when someone is developing a prejudice. They go through life with a simple, wrong heuristic, assigning humans to groups and making them collectively liable for actions of their group. That group is then judged as "good" and worthy of praise, or "bad" and worthy of scorn. It's not complicated stuff but it is shameful and common.
Fuck I have seen it happening both on this site and lemmygrad, and some motherfuckers still say shit like "antisemitism isn't a real thing anymore". Hell looks like it's happening in this fucking thread.
I had a similar experience last semester with one of my closer classmates. He basically asked something like "How am I not supposed to be antisemitic?" I just explained to him that there are Jewish antizionists and that he only sees otherwise because the mainstream media amplifies only one side. And that was sufficient for him, but I also have a lot of credibility on this because I've been openly Pro Palestine.
Thing is that I can't blame him at all for coming to this conclusion, every and I mean every single Jewish org in our area is Zionist. So when they see mainstream media, politicians, and Israel conflate the two why wouldn't they believe them?
That would require the average westerner to give a shit about brown people being killed
I don't think it's productive to center Jewish safety in discussions of Israeli genocide of non-jews. Like, the salient point in the middle of an ongoing genocide is not the fear of hypothetical reprisal against the dominant group and how racist the victims are gonna be when it's over.
this is a discussion about some zionist jews pissing their pants because they saw the words "free palestine" at a hotel
to which genderisopsec raised the fear of potential blowback in the form of genocide against jews.
I have friends that are staunchly anti-zionist jews and I care about them so actually fuck this take. People I care about are gonna catch shit for this. What is wrong with you? This is not a zero sum game. Also Israel is not killing just non-Jews, they are also killing Jewish Palestinians. Nobody is "centering Jewish safety" and it is perfectly reasonable to talk about all the knock on effects of the actions of Israel.
i guess not enough people on here grew up around kkkrackers using "jewed" as a word for being ripped off. the headline should be two genocide supporters saw the message. christian zionists would have been as offended, and reporting it the way LBC did here makes them complicit in the zionist's conflation.
There were anti nazi germans, but it would have been absolutely ridiculous to center the possibility of anti german reprisals post ww2. Disregarding the ethnonationalism of the zionist genocidal project is counterproductive, and if your jewish antiozionist friends are only antizionist out of a fear of reciprocal genocide then I don't give a shit what they think.
They're not and have been since before most the fucking people on this site were alive. You act like it's totally invalid to talk about this shit so I am choosing to just ignore you from here out.
Then your friends surely understand that their personal worries are not central to the issue of zionism, which makes your objection pointless.
Are we seriously just not allowed to discuss the fact that Israel's actions are a danger to Jewish people abroad what the fuck dude. Also again, you misrepresented this as genocide against "non-Jewish people" when there are also Palestinian Jews that they have killed and even Israeli Jews the IDF killed on October 7th. I'm done talking to you.
With the understanding that pre-emptively accusing (amongst others) victims of genocide by a dominant group of future racial violence against their oppressors is inherently problematic and that the threat against other groups such as, for instance, muslims and people of MENA descent is much more tangible and immediate, sure.
Edit: That is why I said "Centering".
