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.

Are there any anti-fascists fighting back against these evil shit heads?
Yeah, they outnumbered the 'pro-british' 'protestors', as the media calls them, in many places
but the nazis (a guy just got arrested with a swaztika tat) have done insane damage, they burned down a library in Liverpool

The British state-run media organisation has been egregiously bad. Look at this shit. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/cervv8rz8mzo
Meanwhile, here is footage of that event https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z3QDnJeoYJM&t
Lmao yeah, I've seen muslims/asians be called 'mobs' for organising to protect themselves
And next we'll have 500 tweets from libs, OMG my asian neighbour just brought us food aww they're not all bad!! as if no modern kristallnacht had happened
Lmao I bet the media will do more outrage over the God is Greatest chants over people being racially targeted even if they're not even from muslim majority countries.
On
, I saw people clutching their pearls at the chant and explaining that it is a terrorist rallying cry, and that even Wikipedia mentions the connection.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
it ain't wrong :yea:
Insane they're calling them "protestors" instead of what they are, fascist rioters.
The bougie media knows who their real enemies are
Us
Shout out the guys showing up to chase fascist pogromists out of town, arriving dressed like this
crust punks. metallic hardcore show guys. hardcore punk guys.
antifa's finest
A lot of why's to ask but why a library?
No clue, it was easy to get into so I think they just wanted to destroy
Useless shits
In 2013 Polish fascists during riots attacked a small tree and lost
Nazis are afraid of books
And probably due to the US culture war narrative, that libraries have books that indoctrinate children into being trans
They're destroying their own cities, for real this time.
my god the big antifa guy in the center left is the most hardcore show guy that's ever hardcored.
the shirt, the shoes, the shorts, the hat. can't make out the band name
skinny nazi doesn't know he's about to get fucking wrecked
That's absolutely a guy who would do a spinning whirly arm windmill thing directly into your face, knocking you over, then immediately help you back up and apologize. Met many such people. I would generally regard them as people not to be fucked with especially when they're large lads like that one. Look at his legs. My god. What a unit.
He dresses like me fr fr
Nazi even looks like a central casting Hollywood nazi
