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 in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . 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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

MODERATORS
I’ll be honest I don’t think I could design a less functional system to run a government than what the US does if I tried
It's so hilariously systemically broken (and I'm not even talking about the intentional ways to protect capital) that finding anyone who defends it at a structural design-level blows my mind.
I've found I get more of a rise out of liberals from talking about how poorly-designed their worshiped system is than highlighting the actual material harm that it creates and this is before I even start bringing real critique to capital about it.
Actually, the founding fathers made it broken on purpose!! So smart!!
This reminds me of the lib who posted a link to the Wikipedia article on the separation of powers in the US government in an attempt to own the hexbears.
I'm incredibly upset that I missed this moment
Here's the aftermath
I take it back I wish I hadn't seen that
Like, I feel like a basic feature for just “having shit keep running” in this situation would be whoever the replacement is automatically gets all committee assignments and other things their predecessor had. Basically the senate should have to pretend that whoever the new person is is still Diane Feinstein
Seriously, like I don’t have trouble putting myself in the shoes of the capitalist and going “what would I do here to protect my position and grow my wealth” and I would still fix a bunch of this shit because it’s either counterproductive or unsustainable
