Virgin Huey Long: "Every Man a King", racist, won't denounce the KKK, pretends to be honest
Chad ant: Every individual is literally a queen, doesn't even know what race is, openly and proudly parasitic and doesn't apologise for it.
enemy of the people
Yass
💅
An anti-monarchist might find more proof here that every queen is a parasite.
But that is a cool finding!
I'm surprised it wasn't found in West Hollywood.
Ant 1: Alright, we did it! Proletarian of the dictators!
Ant 2, holding the State and Revolution: Wait a minute... rotates the book right side up
Ant 1: Fuckin damnfuck!
Ants come close to being the cutest bug (weevils are still cuter though)
Anything with those little L shaped antenna make me go aww
also they gave us this guy
Probably half the reason I like that dudes design so much is because he looks like a big ol' bug
I am bug brained
I didn't know they had species of ants that were this weird.
There are ants like Dinoponera where there are no specialised queens, and the strongest worker becomes the 'queen' as long as she can keep challengers at bay. The technical term for such queens is gamergate (gam-ergate, not gamer-gate).
Wtf omg
This is the best thing I’ve learned all week
So happy to see gamergate get linked again
gamergates are restricted to taxa where the workers have a functional sperm reservoir
L.m.a.O
Biology can always get weirder
They found hexbear ants in japan????
This is true communism.
You get a crown! You get a crown! Everybody gets a crown!
I thought we had an Oprah emoji but I cannot find it :(
Still can't wrap my head around some animals reproduce asexually. Like wtf do you mean they "clone themselves"
Yaaasss queen, strong and independent!!
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.
