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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
The online waterboarding I'll always remember was when FPSRussia did it back in the day. That channel was all about big guns, glorifying weapons and war.
He said he'd do a live stream (back when they were still new) where he'd get waterboarded. The stream lasted 5 minutes total, and ended with him being waterboarded for only a few seconds before the camera shut off. Chat wasn't even egging it on because of how awful it is to watch someone get tortured.
No idea how Hannity can say it isn't torture
Christopher Hitchens kept insisting it wasn't torture but had the guts to actually undergo it to prove it and he only lasted a few seconds. After he was like "yeah, that's torture, I was wrong."
His weird rightist swing late in life was pretty disgusting but I will respect that he actually put his money where where his mouth was and recanted his earlier statements.
