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.
-
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'm saying a "Nazi with a manifesto" falls pretty squarely into "person that America broke"
squares and rectangles. plenty of ways to break without becoming a nazi
I suppose you have heard of not all broken people are assholes, but all assholes are broken people? Same thing here. All broken vets are not nazis.
You on the other hand have proven yourself a rather clear asshole.
That's way more agressive and harsh then what they said deserved.
I don't disagree that there's a difference between between what was phrased earlier as someone broken by America and a Nazi, but no reason to get that angry over someone asking what the difference is, or not caring so much about the difference when they kill a bunch of people
Go back to reddit, if youre in the military for 20 years youre not a good person even if youre some pog who doesnt do shit. I can understand ppl who do a contract even two and then get out but 20 years is a long time. Too much to not be a brainwormed imperialist
I don't understand how you're getting that from my comment? I didn't say that all "broken vets" are Nazis?
Not all rectangles are squares, but all squares are rectangles.
