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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

I think its funny that the guy who founded Vice got replaced with the person who turned A&E into the duck dynasty network, after which she totally tanked the company, and they then replaced her with two guys who were both in senior executive positions as the company kept shooting itself in the foot. I have no sympathy for Shane Smith. The man is a billionaire and his company ethos went from "What if lame nepo baby punk sex pests could be journalists" to "What if tech guy sex pestd were journalists" without ever stopping being performative about the aesthetic. But it is funny that the company only functioned under his leadership when his main deal is forming deals to get vice funded by other people and going to third world countries to gawp.
Gavin Mcinnes founding the proud boys and also founding vice is pretty well known, partially because Gavin Mcinnes won't shut the fuck up about how he had to leave vice because it wasn't punk enough, since the only punk thing was being a white supremacist and a fascist.
