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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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
Also how the fuck is anyone believing this "sovereign territory" dribble. That isn't how blue water ships work, inspite of what brain dead libertarians want to believe.
For fks sake, just because you are sailing in international waters doesn't make you somehow sovereign. You sure as hell aren't sailing a ship worth a better part of a billion dollars around without being registered under the flag of a real internationally recognized nation-state because other than being uninsurable, without that protection you can come under the jurisdiction of literally anyone who decides they want to seize your vessel. Screaming "you're violating NAP" doesn't mean shit if not under the flag (and jurisdiction) of a great power or nation allied with a great power. Not gonna have the US, Chinese, Russian, or EU governments flexing economic and military power if someone decides they want to come up on $500,000,000 in GPUs because you are legally not their problem.
