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.
For sure. The Israeli economy is tanking, people are leaving in droves and the country is isolating itself from the rest of the world. Zionists are hated everywhere except for the most loyal vassal states of the US empire, and even there it's only fascists and government officials that like them at this point. Hamas destroyed the illusion of Israel's invulnerability and the IDF has admitted publicly that they can't destroy them through military means. AnsarAllah continues sinking Israeli ships in the Red Sea and now a war with Lebanon is brewing. People can feel that they're on a sinking ship.
Also, I don't think Israelis are just like... born as genocidal freaks. Most people everywhere are normal people at their core with empathy and a conscience. It was probably easier to rationalize or suppress the fact that you live in a genocidal ethnostate before October 7th. That will make people snap.
Plus, the honourable Yemeni Armed Forces struck at Tel Aviv with a drone yesterday!! The collapse of the genocidal zionist entity is imminent!!
Also true re: not being born a genocidal freak, although IIRC Israeli schooling features the IDF a lot and does drive the OUR HOMELAND thing in deep... maybe that makes it worse? Idk.
Also even if someone is groomed into being a hateful, cruel, genocidal piece of shit there's still a line between cheering for that and actually being confronted with what it materially means that fucks people up. For every true psychopath who genuinely revels in the harm both external and internal, you've probably got at least as many getting all sorts of permanent wounds inside while trying to live up to the ideals of callous cruelty they've been taught or getting swept along in a sadistic frenzy. Fascist ideology lionizes that self-destruction as a sacrifice made on behalf of others, but just saying "it's good to hurt other people, and also yourself" doesn't actually work to blunt the consequences so much as it does simply lead its footsoldiers to destroy themselves further enacting violence on behalf of their rulers' whims.
And this principle doesn't exonerate a thing, of course, it just highlights how even in the most cynical and self-serving contexts genocidal hate and cruelty is also extremely self-destructive. It's not only an abomination that brands someone as ontologically evil, it's also bad for them too. Literally no one wins but the most distant and cynical ghouls who can reap the material benefits without having to reckon with the consequences.
