        Honestly, I’ve been pretty shocked by the reaction to this I’ve seen from under-40 evangelicals and chuds writ large. I mean, not that they have great opinions on the situation but I’m seeing a lot of “the US shouldn’t support Israel” stuff, really feels like there’s a big generational divide here.

      Yes, of course. Neoliberalism is rational fascism, but fascism is the only logical end point of neoliberalism, it can only start and end in it.

      that is a shockingly common theme on Twitter

      Americans have 0 understanding of politics, history, and geography but somehow they all believe they’re experts. It’s maddening.

      Yup liberal darling Always On Camera condemned the protest for … reasons.

      And NYDSA made the mistake of not putting out a statement saying “we don’t give a fuck what the people perpetuating this genocide think of our protest”

      You don’t understand, why take legal action that would require a public retraction and apology as well as potentially substantial funding for your cause, when you could just link a petition on your Twitter and ask all the people calling you terrorists in the comments to sign it?

    Part of the reason why I think forming an actual existing left American political party of any shape or stripe is so difficult because of shit like this. For whatever reason the political powers that be can say "left groups are actually working for a cabal of Bisexual Netherworld Liches and will bring about the final sunset. This will usher in a new age of darkness.” and the media will signal boost this sort of stuff without question or correction. The consent manufacturers are really working overtime the last decade

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.

  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.
