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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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 don't even know what to say. To believe in democracy after this is malicious. I've been seeing some of the biggest protests worldwide and world leaders are plugging their ears and turning their back.
It's not democracy when shareholders control the news. It's not democracy when only the wealthy can afford to take office. It's not democracy when our workplaces are dictatorships. Democracy isn't the problem, capitalism is.
It's not democracy when the wealthy exist
Also true.
I whole heartedly agree. My complaint is towards people who think we still live in a democratic state and can therefore just vote our problems away or that another election cycle will solve this.
But it’s still democracy because the majority of westerners and Israelis support this.
Because the capitalist/state controlled media has been propagandizing them on it. If the media isn't democratic, neither are our governing structures.
