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.

I'm not sure what Biden is doing. Most likely he has no idea either because he thinks it's 1985 and he's in the senate still. But whatever whoever is doing, doubling solar panel costs the other day, not pushing for student debt relief ("pushing" he can just do it. Congress already empowered him. There's nothing to discuss), totally buying into one of the most obvious lies from the right wing, and of course endlessly fueling a genocide... all of this in the last ~year heading into an election
Like is Trump literally the president like his weirdest followers have been saying? Because this has been Trump's second term. I guess we really are gonna get that third term the stupid MAGA dumbasses kept "joking" about circa 2015/16
That is a massive copeium dream not even MAGA believes that, if anyone actualy thinks massive amounts of French/German/Italians are going to cross the Atlantic just to work in a Mcdonalds for not even $15 an hour.
We need to wait for WW3 and complete actual massive death and destruction of European cities for this to be even remotely feasible.
But even if you disregard all of that, in 20 years time climate change will sink Florida and make most of the USian south a massive shithole. The current "liberal" paradise of NW/NE will have to deal with their own internal migration problems. I foresee chuds trying to raid and kill liberals well before Americans being open to such a massive immigration, even if white Europeans, they tend to be technically quite a bit more liberal than Americans liberals even.
Again chuds would rather kill white liberals than work with them. Of course when under threat liberals will always work with the fascists anyway, but it doesn't mean there wont be conflicts.
In 20 years I'd bet on EU's internal migration issues(periphery towards the center/north) before anything else. Also its a given they'll be genociding every African/ME migrant crossing the Mediterranean too. They'll be busy closing their borders both ways.
The EU is definitely suffering but please remember that EU social democracy to the extent it still exists, far exceeds the working class privileges of the regular American. It would be a joke to even compare the two. To suggest Europeans are suddenly going to migrate to the US is to ignore American's own cost of life crisis, don't we get people constantly complaining about rent and stuff here on HB? Most are not European you know.
Everything from healthcare, housing and education is still far far more expensive overall in the US than the major EU countries and again, while we can argue whether some German IT guy would work in California/Texas that IT guy is not ever going to be working in a McDonalds in Atlanta or Michigan unless Berlin is firebombed again.
There is no disagreement that EU economy is not going well, but keeping perspective in mind we are talking about neoliberal mainstream economic terms most of the time, GDP stagnation doesn't mean a G7 country is suddenly in the same material conditions as some African country overnight.
