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.

Sure, not saying I know better, I'm well aware of the hexbear tendency to jump down the throats of armchair generals. The Iranian state is of greater value to Iran than the Palestinians. I recognize this state of affairs, and yet there’s no other entity to step in. Thus the feelings
I just wanted to add but Iran has helped Palestine a lot, just for some examples see https://hexbear.net/comment/4361195
it's weird to say no other entity has stepped in when Iran, Ansarallah, Hezbollah have been stepping in various ways.
and to add, Iran is planning on retaliating against Israel, and Israel fate is pretty much sealed, being more closer to defeat. Considering their economy is wrecked, and they're being hurt in many different directions. Israel has no future.
we get that we do but its still hard to watch gaza burn for longer and longer
I hope Iran isn't bluffing, and i dont really think they are, the longer it takes the more serious force they can muster for destruction of the demon. but even then it still hurts. Is this what communists were thinking while waiting for the soviet counter-attack against the nazi lines? Knowing it was inevitable and that they were doing what they could, but still having to wait and see nazis commit more and more atrocities...
God I miss the soviet union, they would have stopped this mark my words
The term used was country, and neither Hezbollah nor ansarallah are technically running their countries. As for the other facts, we’re aware of this. It’s a question of if the Palestinians have a future
You did not say country, but entity. Forgive me if I didn't catch that you meant country in that context. And I don't think that a valid question since Palestine is still around and so are Palestinians. And resistance groups like Hamas are going to keep fighting.
My bad, the comment I was replying to said country. And I think it’s a question of if Israel collapses before the genocide is finished. Obviously resistance continues, but there is a timeline for Iran and another for the people being bombed
