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.

Cant wait to hear how this was a completely unjustified escalation and "Israel" is actually fully justified in melting more 8-year olds via exploding barbies next.
When Israel do it it gets bazinga praise from bloodthirsty credible defense nerds
there is no way this insane support for isntreal by the west, no matter how awful their acts, isnt creating anti-semitism. a lot of people are done with israel's shit and are blaming jews
shit is going to be somehow even more bleak in the future
I feel confident in saying that Zionism is the main driver of antisemitism today. A few months ago the Jewish community where I live put out a report on antisemitic incidents. Almost all of the incidents were people who misdirected justified anger over zionist crimes towards Jews in general.
Without the occupation, apartheid and violence that is integral to Zionism, antisemitism would be reduced by 90%.
That’s literally what anti-Zionist Jews have been saying since Zionism was born over 100 years ago…
Zionism IS antisemitic. It’s based on the idea Jews are incapable of living with other peoples. That Jews are incapable of not making other peoples hate them.
That’s literally what Theodore Herzl thought and wrote when justifying an ethnically pure Jewish state.
Like the dude hated Jews as much as the antisemitic Christians around him.
And progressive, communist mostly, Jews mounted opposition to this. Choosing to fight for rights and acceptance, for protections and for a popular revolution. SINCE THE BEGINNING. And they were the fucking majority by far. Zionism was fucking FRINGE.
And it makes me really sad to think that so many of those antizionist fighters stayed in Europe until after WW2, fought to liberate Jews in camps, fight Nazis and fascists, make up huge numbers of the partisans all over Europe.
Then after WW2, the nascent settler colonial state of Israel that was struggling for decades to attract Jews, literally denied entry to many of the survivors of camps and only allowed partisans and people who fought in. They formed many of the first communities, which is why so many were communistic.
Also why Stalin at first supported Israel, hoping they’d turn communist and ally with the USSR.
But European colonists gonna colonize and so many became straight up fascists themselves and created the basis of the modern ultra Zionist movement.
I've pointed out to people IRL that zionism is "but what if Hitler was right tho?" as an ideology. Which we have a name for: nazis. They're nazis lmao
Era of blackest reaction indeed
Comrade Stalin left us when we needed him the most...
Go to r/Lebanon. It's full of Zionists and the whole sub hates Hezbollah and justifies Israel. I don't understand. If those are Lebanese people, they should stand with Palestine, but unfortunately, just like Iranians, they're fed up with them. Tragic. Instead of hating the invader, they hate the victim.
lol
What? 😅 Most of them admit they're Israelis and the rest of the people are on the side of Israhell. It's really nuts there, like you took bad acid and you see shit that you know can't be real, but it is.
On reddit, everybody is r/asablackman
there are unfortuantly a large contigent of christian lebanonese that hate muslims in there own country more than they hate isreal
Most of them are only lebanese in name. Half the people on there are only half lebanese and live in amerikkka so they spout a bunch of bullshit like the iran sub.
Got banned from reddit as a whole because someone self reported being an IOF soldier so i told him to kindly stick the barrel in his mouth.
Every ME sub on reddit is ran by zionists, up to the point that one of them has a literal NGO on their mod team. Reddit itself is a CIA psyop so I'm not surprised.
I'm still in a some kind of shock on what happened to that platform. The reason why I was perma banned is ludacris, stated as hate speech and I see literal hate speech passing without anyone's intervention. Feels like a parallel universe there. Hasbara bots everywhere, no one sanctioned, propalestinian accounts being banned... Psycho shit.
Not to be all reddit nerd on you but ludicrous is the ridiculous synonym and Ludacris is the rapper. I'm sorry I know this is annoying lol
No, thank you for pointing out, lol.
I definitely thought they got banned for Ludacris posts and that seemed very believable for Stormfront 2.0.
eh it's reddit, botted to hell and filled with zionists
I saw a comment on lemm.ee I think from a reddfugee that was along the lines of " wow you can criticize israel here? What a breath of fresh air."
The facade is crumbling.
in my experience every english speaking r/nationality subreddit is populated mostly by very racist canadians
Holy shit that's exactly it, what's up with Canadians?!
Canadians have a reputation for being friendly... We're polite. There's a big difference. There's pockets of friendliness, but it's usually in more rural places and the all pervasive racism is worse there than in the cities. Because it's easier to be polite and racist in a homogeneous community.
Nobody on that sub is Lebanese, most Lebanese people on reddit are over on r/Arabs or r/soccer
Most non western country subreddits are filled with
instead of actual citizens of the country
