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.

what if it turns out trump isnt even a bad guy and his team just shows him absurd AI generated slop all day thats meant to look like fox news so all of his political positions are just reactions to that
maybe he really thought he watched a video of venezuelan immigrants eating people’s pets because they showed him an AI one
he thought we had medbeds and all americans were gonna get a universal healthcare card to go into the medbed and “restore our health to 100” as the video said. honestly may have just cracked the code. maybe he really was an fbi informant on epstein
(im joking ofc hes a piece of shit)
It's been known that Trump basically holds the views of whoever he last talked to. Trump holds a meeting with Putin, comes out pro-Russia. Trump meets with a NATO general, comes out pro-NATO. Trump talks to Stephen Miller, and he wants to deport every immigrant. Trump sits with hotel and farm owners, he wants to bring in more immigrants on visas for cheap and expendable labor.
The real story here is who is pulling on Trump's strings right now and why do they want to pull out of their Portland invasion.
Shit, we might get President Joe Rogan any day now
"Maybe he's not evil" is literally the thing everyone I've shared this with has said first lol "maybe he's just actually that stupid"
Evil that occurs as a result of stupidity is still evil.
Yeah, Hanlon's Razor only applies to the causal nature of something, not it's morality. That said, it is a principle that is supposed to inspire empathy, but for me only inspire increasing scorn and disgust for those in power. Especially since they can't even bother to do all the evil shit they want to do competently. They are evil and stupid and somehow because they have more money than God are in control of things.
The Trumpan Show (1998)
We don't unironically do that here
Why would trump even be a Russian agent if the whole premise is that he was a plant when the USSR was still around? Why do American libs still think Russia and the Soviet Union are the same thing?
Why the fuck are we federated with an instance with an ableist name
@CARCOSA@hexbear.net anything we can do about this?
We put it to a user vote in a recent featured post
Can I nominate it for being revisited next time there's such a vote, if there is such a time?
If there won't be another one at least not expected to be one, is there an appeal process or report we can submit to bring it back to the teams attention?
Thanks!
Sure
Thanks for all you do!
however if you're posting tRump then you're all good
