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.
-
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.
not to defend kamala at all but that quote about her being out of her depth and having zero substantive role in the administration, in relation to biden who was napping the entire time (and when he wasn't napping he was just struggling to stay awake) and was definitely not the one making decisions or steering the ship is pretty funny.
Pretty much this and napping is putting it mildly. Biden was making constant gaffes and wouldn't remember the names of world leaders and stuff, and this idiot had the nuke codes... supposedly.
What is even worse is how they had to keep him on all kinds of medications just to stay awake for 15 minutes to give a press conference. To be clear Biden deserves to suffer all kinds of hellish torture you can imagine imo, but what the "Biden team" did to him in the last 2 years(probably longer) is still unironically elderly abuse if it was any other normal person and society.
So on one side dissing on the incompetent grifter second in charge.
On the other side unironicaly treating your fave as a human puppet on a string while he cries in pain half the time while shitting his pants and not remembering the name of the people next to him the other half the time.
I think I've played a horror game with this premise
As I said elsewhere, she puts up a bigger stink they did not defend her on fox News you know the place that just makes up everything by saying she was tough on crime than being side lined
