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.

What’s wrong with these freaks lol. I think the worse liberals haven done interpersonally is like inviting people to “productivity” cults and siphon their money. Don’t think I’ve read anything on liberals beheading their grandma because she didn’t believe Trump was a Kremlin agent
liberals suck, but I'd take a liberal over a chud any day. Liberals are annoying as hell but they usually have their heads somewhat in reality and they can actually hold a conversation. And they'd never do something like this. Civility-brain sucks, but it does stop them from carrying out murderous rampages because some 14-year old on a message board told them they were delusional.
Chuds are across the board the worst people on earth, and the only time they have any sense of reality is when they're doing some dumbass contrarianism to "own the libs" so even then they don't understand reality. Have never had a conversation with a chud where they didn't halfway through feel the need to start ranting about whatever weird grievance they were obsessed with at the time, while I'm forced to stand there like
Pretty sure libs killed their share of family not so directly due to propaganda, good example would be the whole dehumanization of users of intoxicants and willing snitching on family, while chuds tend to be more direct in their killings due to propaganda and conspiracy. The whole foxes v wolves but assuming foxes aren't too bad because of those itty bitty teeth.
Libs just let the state do the killing for them
Yes and they point out the said family member so the state can execute them.
You are not, in fact, forced to stand there. You can start laughing at them instead
"wow that's crazy about the little mermaid, but have you considered
"
Yeah, end of the day the main reason i'm even involved in politics is because I harbor a loathing for the right so deep it drowns out my ability to actually enjoy anything. Everything but getting rid of them is secondary
IDK, no reason to absolve lanyard lib ghouls that carry out just as much violence in their jobs as finance imperialists or Lockheed Martin engineers. There's plenty of evil to go around.
I’m not absolving those people. This guy wasn’t some republican agent or Lockheed engineer. He was just some piece of shit conspiracy theorist. Not every liberal is working for Lockheed or whatever. A lot of people believe in some variation of blue anon or q anon while working at krogers stocking isles.
