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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Why don't they just adapt Socialism???
Are they stupid?
Canadians are fucking morons, yes. We have like 3 media monopolies that dominate all political thought for 99.9% of the population.
Is there more Canadians disproportionately in Hexbear than I thought? Nothing wrong with that....
We're everywhere 👁
Canada is just America with shitty universal healthcare and even more aggressive resource extraction, so whatever produces communists will be similar in both societies, so you could safely expect 1/10 users to be canadian
What makes ye say that?
Btw, if a revolution happens, we might as well seize Canada first as a small experiment to see if the U.S will come at us....
Canada has some of the loosest mining regulations in the world, and so many of the companies that clear cut the Amazon, strip mine it for ore, and dump heavy metals into rivers are all HQed in Canada. The Canadian economy is poorly diversified with big chunks represented by mining and forestry. Canada has frequently run into conflict with native tribes by trying to force them off the land they were forced onto so Canada can build pipelines or clear cut old growth forests.
Damn, we signed up on the same day lmao
yes..
When did the 'are they stupid?' memes stsrt taking off and is it a reference to Patrick's line in a SpongeBob episode? Cause if thars the case I'm like 20 years ahead in this one
I believe it's from a Breaking Bad shitposting subreddit, but it really took off from a Batman shitpost "Why doesn't Batman just call the Justice League for help? Is he stupid?" Re: the plot of Batman Arkham.
Okay, cause I've been doing it IRL and I got it from the SpongeBob episode Bye Bye Bivalve which is where the diapers meme came from as well, so maybe it's connected.
