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.

This is allegedly the manifesto. One attacker (caleb vasquez) compares himself to nick fuentes. The manifesto claims it hates both the American Left and Right. The author identifies with National Socialism ie Nazism. In the video, both shooters are wearing black sun patches.
I found this link on twitter. I can't prove that the document hasn't been altered. I can't find a news article sharing the full article. There are many articles posting individual screenshots which match this document: Russiatoday, nypost, etc.
This document is filled with slurs and hatespeech. I am sharing the link to show a record of the shooters' motivations.
https://web.archive.org/web/20260519154345/https://files.catbox.moe/4xlfy3.pdfThis tweet has the same archive URL. I don't like the people who run the DD_geopolitics account but I don't think they would share a fake document.

This politician posted 17 screenshots from the document in a tweet thread. I think she might be a Zionist based on her previous tweets talking shit about pro-palestine protesters.

Its like when Varg was a Communist after being raised on a diet of Finnish anti communist propaganda that its the most ebil dehumanizing system possible, until he went to a few meetings a found out these supposed slavering sadists were talking about uplifting the common people, equality and the brotherhood of man. then renouncing leftism
is he doing a bit by referring to al qaeda or is there an actual right-wing org/movement that has this name? lmao
Yes there's a white nationalist terror group called The Base, the literally choose the name knowing it was the translation of Al Qaeda, cause it made them seem radical and extreme
Yeah there's some nazi org with that name
It's truly disgusting part of this system, I mentioned this in another comment, but Tarrant (the guy their manifesto is named after) praised china for supposedly exterminating Uyghurs. When the anti-communist lies perpetuated by Libs are so powerful, even the nazis believe them, it's really an indictment on the political and economic system as a whole. The system is rotten to the core with fascism.
This is like the Bojack Horseman episode where he tries to write his memoir within a few days by taking a shit ton of speed.
Ah, general whiteracesavior1488, you are browner than expected
The other guy, Cain Clark (if pics circulating are correct) looks even less white, wtf is with the spate of non-white neo-nazi mass shooters?
I glanced over this manifesto, and this is a bit odd:
"Though officially I was not apart of any groups or organizations there are many I support, I would even go so far as to say I did it for Atomwaffen Division, Terrorgram, The Base, and North Korea."
-lol Did the FBI put this in?
He also mentions the famous line from the Joker movie:
"What do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a society that abandons him and treats him like trash? I’ll tell you what you get, you get what you fucking deserve!”
-when that movie was out, critics said this movie was gonna inspire some mass shooters, well we got our first one.
They feel that their position is precarious and long to earn their recognition as white. For similar reasons the most unhinged Ukrainian fascists are Russian-speaking.
If the FBI put it in, it would have been references to BLM, BDS, antifa, PSL and Black Panthers instead.
Spanish white works different than Anglo white. Encomienda vs. One-drop rule.
pure uncut
I can see no other reason to include DPRK unless they somehow think DPRK is some trad bastion and RoK is woke or some shit.
The reason they would include the DPRK is because they don't know the first thing about it, and believe that all the myths told about it are true, and believe that those myths are cool and good. Hence referring to it as "North Korea"
joke's on you he already thought of that!
So just fascist brainworms and doomerism as always, what pathetic small little creatures
transphobia but funny
lol, lmao. Very coherent
There are only... no genders?
None whatsoever, I'm sorry to say
Fash yapping their way to accidentally abolish gender
Love that they have so firmly declared how cis and het they are, already seeing them labeled as trans, if nazis weren't so insecure they would probably have pretended to be
disgusting turn of events
is this a really funny case of auto-correct?
the writing is also bad, open the education camps
How interesting that, according to them, all problems are caused by Jews but they choose to target a mosque.
The math isnt mathing
The words: “it’s the Jews it’s the Jews it’s the Jews”
The actions: “it’s the Muslims”
Huh
Almost like the ideology is a facade 😉

Sure buddy, you likely don't "like" them just because they accept jews or something. Lmao
Edit: also that twitter thread is just deeply annoying. Half of them are claiming they're leftists, and the other half are confused as to why they shot up a mosque.
Depressingly asinine world we live in.
True. The document says that he hates the Right because they aren't fascist enough. The document isn't very coherent. I only pointed it out because the document is split into different sections and one of the sections is about his supposed split from the right.
I would still consider the shooters to be right wingers. The document claims that he doesn't identify as a right winger anymore.
They seem to be your run of the mill 4chan nazis tbh.
Yeah, it's just mildly incoherent 4chan nazi smugness.
misogynistic language from NVE/White Supremacist Manifesto
