Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

If you plan to travel internationally it is a good idea to take a burner phone

[–] [email protected] 43 points 6 months ago (2 children)

(if you are that interesting to fbi, they'll know its not your main phone) but yes

[–] [email protected] 45 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Half the concern is what they take off of your phone but the other half is what they leave behind. A burner should at least help with that.

depending on your power levels, you can be denied entry by the intention to hide something from good people of the border

Israel doesn’t get labeled terrorists despite all the weapons and exploits they sell to suspect customers

Oh thats the one the mexican gov has been using for a while

I have convinced the NSA that all my alts are separate people

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

They can just take your phone like that? And if I don't unlock it, then what?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

It’s good advice, but just know if you’re on a watch list and they have people waiting for you, they also probably have people going through your home to look for your belongings. If that’s your threat level, maybe leave the phone with someone you trust.

whywhywhywhywhy "Woah woah woah, this sounds scary, authoritarian, and racist. But really, we've already tried sending Israel billions of dollars of weapons and scolding them for using the weapons, while sending more weapons and we're just plum out of ideas! So now we're just asking everyone who comes through if they have any ideas about what we should do over there."

This is just like the Stasi!!!! so-true

[–] [email protected] 62 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Man the Stasi might be my biggest “There’s actually zero difference between good and bad things. You imbecile. You fucking moron.” thing. Like actually “secret police” whose job is to root out fascism and the remnants of Naziism are fundamentally different from “secret police” whose job is to protect Capital.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Not to mention West German intelligence was literally build by the CIA out of remnants of nazi agencies, and had some real hits in their career like protecting Stepan Bandera when he and his thugs murdered over 100 people in there.

History is a flat circle.

[–] [email protected] 28 points 6 months ago

Hell, German intelligence were knee deep in the NSU murders and that shit was in the 2000s.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 6 months ago (1 children)

On top of that, they really were used as a way to gauge the sentiment of the people. They did actual, normal “information gathering”. And even then, the Stasi had nowhere near the information on you that Google and Facebook do now.

But yeah, unless you were a fascist, a capitalist reader, or a suspected western intelligence asset, you basically had nothing to worry about.

but you repeat yourself

[–] [email protected] 42 points 6 months ago

In the authoritarian capitalist west etc etc

Zionists are so insufferable, someone protect him. If he goes back to Isntrael someone will kill him.

[–] [email protected] 31 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think he escaped from there like 15 years ago

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago

He has a TikTok, and has been posting occasionally about Palestine rn. I thought he was still in the west bank.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

I think he left israel long ago because he got expulsed from the knesset and some israeli magazine has his face with a target painting on his forehead as a cover iirc.

Israel does have some precedences in the assassination of politicians who show moderate views or some degree of willingness to uphold peace with the palestinian state

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

Yeah I'm aware, I'm glad he left a long time ago.

[–] [email protected] 34 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Asking whether or not he supports Hamas wasn’t part of the interrogation. More of a compulsive greeting.

[–] [email protected] 19 points 6 months ago

"Morning, neighbor, do you condemn Hamas?"

grillman

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Was it JoJo Rabbit or some other anti-Nazi media that lampooned “Heil Hitler” by having all the characters greet each other with it? I’m imagining that, but you greet each other with “I condemn Hamas, Robert.” “Morning, Steven, I also condemn Hamas.”

[–] [email protected] 26 points 6 months ago (1 children)

what is the solution to the "conflict"?

The complete destruction of the zionist entity. Oh and at least a few people should get thrown in a pit.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 6 months ago

Squishy liberals always act like that’s some gotcha and there’s just “no good answer”

No bitch, there’s a specific right answer. Dismantle the illegitimate state of Israel. Create a single, secular state of Palestine with equal rights for all regardless of religion or ethnicity. Have a truth and reconciliation commission and punish those responsible for the genocide, execute Netanyahu and high ranking members of the Israeli military.

This led me on a deep dive of the banned Palestine conference in Germany and I found Yanis Varoufakis' speech.

"How much Palestinian blood must flow before your, justified, guilt over the Holocaust is washed away?" - that line hits so hard
