news
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.
lib shit don’t click
I kinda hope Nikki Haley pulls out the upset in the primary. Like sure she’s a vampiric hell demon but at least she’s not fucking trump. The hogs were just so insufferable when trump was in office at least now they’re a little cowedI want Haley to win because it would be absolutely fucking hilarious if the GOP end up with the first woman president. Libs will lose their minds FOREVER. They will literally explode. I want to see a Woman's March against Haley.
There is literally no good outcome in this election, there just varying degrees of horrifying outcomes. If we're gonna end up with something awful please at least be funny, that's all I can ask.
the only thing uniquely horrible abt trump is that the hogs loooove him. which means he cant lose the primary. libs freak out abt trump bc he says the quiet part out loud and prefer their hateful counterparts to use the accepted euphemisms. while the "resepctable" GOP freaks dog-whistle and criticize "the woke agenda", an intentionally nebulous concept, trump straight up says he wants to deport Hispanic people, carpet bomb the half the MENA region, and ramp up the oppression on marginalized groups domestically. every other republican and most dems want this, or at least wont push back. this is amerika, the brown shirts are already here, not electing trump isnt going to make them disappear. ppl say they are "emboldened" by trump, and this may be true, but the left is also motivated to action by trump. myself and many others were radicalized during trump's first term. if hitler wasnt born, there would be another guy to fill that role. history is driven by the masses and their material conditions, not "great men"
That doesn’t mean he’s not fucking annoying and exhausting to listen to day after day, let alone his dumbass supporters
fair
Shes a neocon, but very incompotent and a sell out to Israel.
Here she is at the UN playing the "but do you condemn Hamas?" Game 5 years ago. There's got to be a glitch in the Matrix with all this Dejavu stuff.
She plays the anti woke card too. She will be Trump's control mechanism from the investor class. I hope he ditches her. That would be funny.
