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.

Don't have a death penalty but if you do, just blast them full of fucking morphine. Like, we have how to go put feeling pretty absolutelynfucking down. Like, when it's my time, if I have the ability to do so and am dying anyway I wanna make fucking sure it'd from an opiate overdose. If you're gonna exit, it's probably the best way to go. Death sucks but going out not only painlessly but on a high note brainwiaw seems nice and I know frome experience having my blood replaced with morphine is the a guarantee of that
The definition of a "humane" death for these ghouls isn't "kills quickly and painlessly" it's "looks like it does to observers". Obviously the most humane way of killing someone is hitting them with a 200 ton block of stone accelerated to well above terminal velocity. But no one wants to clean up the mess.
Giving someone a morphine overdose might cause the person to throw up and that's gooey so it wont be done.
I think the possibility that it might actually be pleasurable--even if only for a few seconds--also puts us off of it. Two of the stated purposes of the death penalty in the United States are deterrence and punishment. A method that has the potential to feel good for the condemned wouldn't satisfy the bloodthirsty hogs enough. There are a lot of people who would bring back drawing and quartering, if given the option.
yeah i always wondered why thye dont just make you overdose on like heroin or something like that
We should genuinely let them choose any method they want. they are the person who has to do the hard part.
As someone else posted itt, the problem is that the people involved in executions are not doctors and many times mess up injecting anesthesiacs.
