news
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.
I love how the libs were crying for months that they can't replace her and have to wait for the next election, even if she is missing a ton of votes. Now she just died anyway.
Its like RGB all over again. Can't wait till the next time the libs talk about some barely alive ghoul hanging onto their position of power for way too long. They'll never learn.

I always thought a funny bit would be to purposely get politicians names wrong to piss off libs who regard them as heroes and also, to show that you have such little respect for people like Alexa ocasio cortez and Mike McConnell
fuck it, rich mcdonald
rule 1: never get their name right
All I'm saying is Jim McCoin wasn't tortured in Vietnam but he should have been
you fool,you imbecile,you dolt, how could you do this
Because I'm a
and I must put RGBs everywhere
Actually this is a lie, my PC has no RGB lights.
sounds like someone’s got plans for this weekend then 😎

Heyya Harold, this week on handymans corner, we are going to turn this old boat trailer into a wheelchair/life support system for decrepit politicians!
Hawwww uncle red, why don't they just retire and go fishing or something?
Well gee Harold, that's a good question. But we're not here to answer questions of a philosophical nature. Now, Hand me the duct tape, wouldja?
That show has always brought me great joy. As the years pass,.I'm turning into a Possum Lodge member and I'm digging it..
I just bought a vest that has like twenty pockets for... stuff. I've always been one of those guys that always has rocks in their pockets and I almost always carry a small whittling project with me everywhere.
"I'm a man, I can change, if I have to, I guess"
why is there a Red Green reference? lol
I was just making a light up keyboard joke I have no idea what the others are on about
Red Green is, like, Canadian Home Improvement or something iirc
I've still never seen them admit that Bader-Ginsburg fucked everyone and killed Roe out of absolutely pure unalloyed arrogance. It was such an utterly disgusting, horrible thing to do and she's hailed as a hero for it.
Yup can't wait to see what the
will be in the next few days
Government shut down forever (only the nice parts, not the bad parts)
This is the perfect excuse for libs to continue doing nothing.
