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.

Go fuck yourself.
What.
I am sure this is a much more likely way to die than starvation, climate change related disaster or just an accident. Incredible argument.
You're saying they'll be caught? You're really bad at this. Read more Literotica.
For dramatic tension! Jfc. This is the worst LLM ever.
You made an account for this? Friendless behavior tbh
You just know this idiot made this account so they could come here, troll and get a ton of vitriol, then go back to lemmy and post about all the mean hexbearinos. Real
brain in action.
Omitting, of course, how they came in here with the attitude of 'this mentally unwell individual deserved to be shot to death', wholly ignoring that in a country where medical care is privatized and hideously expensive, people aren't going to be able to afford treatment for it and we have situations like this occur.
ed: I just realized lmao, did they name their account as such because they think we love Trump?
I'm not even sure mental illness had anything to do with it.
If any typical American had just gotten away from an active shooter situation, and someone on a bus pulled a gun on them, it's not unlikely that they'd try to wrest the gun away and shoot the gunman. And having just shot someone on a bus, wanting to steer the bus to somewhere preferred is not an insane response.
Libs are so stupid. Absolutely mainlining their own talking points. I often think damn we're pretty harsh on libs, then I peek into lib spaces and its even worse than the caricature than we paint them as.
It gives me great relief that we are far better at "knowing your enemy" than libs or chuds. Only non-commies who understand us at all are either feds and a very small subset of fascists.
"Domestic terrorist" Jesus fucking hell sucking Christ. redact yourself from the world.
Someone come claim this username
TerrBear
terrorBear sounds better in my opinion
Incredible bit
Damn, deleted in the seconds it took me to log-in for a response. Should have been a tagline
Yes. And I'm thinking it loudly about you
Maybe if they didn't have to pay for meds, they would be receiving treatment AND wouldn't be hijacking busses?
But way to make it about 'terrorist hijackings', you idiot reactionaries love treating symptoms and not the underlying causes.
It's the conservative way. Everything bad is an individual fault. Capitalism is perfect and might makes right. There are "good" people and "bad" people and nothing will change that.
Terrorism is when mental break, ur so smart
Watch out for all the terrorists on the psych wards!
Nah but I know you're just here to ignore some painful deficiency in your life. If I had to guess, chronic singleness?
I’m reading this aloud while doing my very best George W Bush impression.
Take a long walk off a short pier
I'm sure you get this a lot, but it's important to reiterate. You're a fucking deadshit.
Eat my shit and hair
