Shining city on a hill. Cannibalistic pedos who will rush most life on earth to extinction and insist due to white supremacy they're a gift to this world. Their values, their words are as empty as the future they will create because of their hateed. Do me a favor wall

I can't wait to be another statistic.

[-] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 54 points 1 week ago

Sorry, in another announcement they also revoked the statistics.

Nixon created the EPA after US cities got so bad with acid rain and smog that you couldn't breathe safely, and rivers would catch fire.

I wonder how long it'll take before things in the US get that bad again, and how will yankees complain about how "polluted" China is then?

Me, during the early 2010s, explaining to the average yankee how the West heavily contributes to pollution in China by collectively moving all of their factories there and taking advantage of corrupt local officials regarding environmental rules:

Me, during the late 2010s, explaining to the average yankee why the West hates Xi's anti-corruption campaign so much and slander him as "authoritarian":

[-] Damarcusart@hexbear.net 26 points 1 week ago

Yep, first it was China being evil polluters for no reason, now that China is actively doing more to combat pollution and climate change than the west it is "authoritarian" to save the planet.

It's not dead, it's just being renamed to the Environmental War Agency

The circle of life. Breathed to life by one crooked republican and snuffed out by another cooked republican.

Brought to life by Ralph Nader yelling at people about seat belts and environmental pollution. Ralph managed to lobby and pass 3 out of 3 of the most significant livesaving policies of our lifetime, seatbelt, Clean Water Act and Clean Air Act all under Nixon presidency. Ralph is an annoying lib, but no one can argue that he is the greatest policymaker in US history.

[-] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

Yeah but he cost the 2000 election

[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 13 points 1 week ago

No one gives jeb the credit he deserves for stealing that election

[-] microfiche@hexbear.net 12 points 1 week ago

[-] micnd90@hexbear.net 32 points 1 week ago* (last edited 1 week ago)

Yeah I'm just saying EPA came to life despite of Nixon, not because of Nixon.

These ancient, soon-to-be-dead freaks really are so psychotically self-centered that they want the entire human race to die with them.

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:

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.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  7. 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.

  8. 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.

  9. AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
