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.
Libs are well known for thinking countries shouldn't be invaded by other countries
Look at all these swings and misses lol
"A liberal is someone who opposes every war except the current war and supports all civil rights movements except the one that’s going on right now."
Are they? Must be why a liberal admin has been killing peace talks for months. Must also be why they were baying for Iraq War 2. And are codifying anti zionism as anti semitism while Israel kills every Palestinian that twitches.
Donbass has been getting shelled by Ukraine for years, civilians were getting killed by shellings from Ukraine well before Russia invaded
People here support the hegemony losing.
Is that why Obama sent my friends to invade Syria?
Countries shouldn't bomb what is ostensibly their own civilian population either.
So that makes Russia bombing the same civilians okay
Putin has killed less civilians than
and thus is the lesser evil so he gets my 
Same with Hamas, they kill less children than
so I'm with them
The only one that is saying this is you
Libs thought Afghanistan and Iraq should be invaded until they turned out to be disasters. Then they were always against it.
While technically not an invasion I guess, libs also cheered for the bombing of Libya and killing of Gaddafi because
wow, Arab Spring!
That must be why they've been supporting every single US invasion.
🇮🇶
Lmao look at this little worm try to make snide little unnoticeable edits after getting nailed harder than the twin towers instead of having a bit of steel in their spine and actually replying to people
Picture perfect exhibition of the
mentality
