Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:
-
To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).
-
To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.
-
To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.
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.
Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:
The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.
-
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.

Sounds like Patsoc Larouche bull.
Not wanting to genocide a marginalized group is a basic tenent of being anything on "the left". I would question the good faith of anyone who drops a larger fight over discriminating others.
If anyone is doing "purity tests" it's the fascist assholes, patriarchy upholders, and ignoramouses who can't bother to read up on issues to toss marginalized groups under the bus. Oh we can't focus on X if it includes THOSE people. Ewww icky! Who cares if we criminalize them!
Hitler came after the trans and queers first. Never forget that.
We are in the middle of the 3rd Red Scare. That comes with it a lavender scare. a "moral panic" tied to the irrational fear of "communism" or "the enemy" (our economic competition but they sell it as "the enemy" because they understand the public is not going to give two shits about some investor having a childish tantrum due to foriegn resources not being given to them like the entitled brats they are)
They are exploiting general ignorance about transgender and queers in their youth as a culture war to defelct from doing anything for the people while they fuck them over for exploitative means and war profiteering. A lot of the same arguments against trans are the very same bullshit arguments they made agaisnt gays.
Years from now it will be looked down upon as a very shameful time and how could our society be such assholes and stupid people. We've been here before.
It doesn't need to be years from now, but our investor class is filled with fascists and sociopaths which are more than happy to chuck money and order their owned propaganda channels to whip up fears and watch us fight amongst ourselves.
Tell TERFs they are a bunch of ignorant assholes repeating the same lies and bullshit of the anti gay rights era. TERFs are not leftists. If they can not be educated then they can be tossed in the history bin. Conservative fucks are going to do their austerity shit with or without equality.
Throwing vulnerable minorities under the bus to appeal to the deffinitly genuine "we'd support you if you'd stop being mad at us for being racists and bigots" voting bloc
What a refreshing and original take that I've never heard before, especially from people who are deffinitly just not bigots
