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.

After rendering aid to a DV victim. I hope people don't take the wrong/easiest conclusions from this.
On the other hand that was according to his spokesperson, so some or all of that story may be bullshit. I'll believe it after it gets checked out.
Point taken, thanks.
Eh. If true, that's a good act, but this guy still sounds like awful. I'll put it this way, if Reagan personally saved someone from a human trafficking operation, that might be a good act, but I'll still cheer on Hinckley in spite of this hypothetical good act, because despite it, he's still a complete and utter monster.
Oh boy. I knew when I posted this, people would be about all the stuff that came before. I'm neither denying or minimizing that, I'm talking about this specific alleged good deed.
Sorry, my bad. Also read your other post. I was under the (false, I see now) impression that you were saying "He did a good thing, don't crab emoji his death!"
Once again, sorry.
No worries. I'm still working on the tendency to overlay my own narratives. The brain is naturally wired to shortcutting to save us from potential immediate dangers. A lifetime of running gauntlets trains our brains to react as if everything is a potential danger. The good news is, with consciousness and persistence, we can rewire our brains to recognize when we are relatively safe. There will be slips, especially during times of tiredness, hunger, already raw nerves from something else, etc. I'm honored to be learning with good people.
Youre sweet
🤗
10/10 poster keep it up!
Wishing you the bestest life has to offer 💓
Wait. What are the wrong/easiest conclusions from this?
"it happened after a good deed so don't be kind.”
Kind of like I was telling a crackhead once that a long time crack smoker had gotten sober and had a heart attack. That guy said, "he should've kept smoking!” No, he should have stopped sooner.
