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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Maybe we should revisit propaganda of the deed. Conditions are different now, it may have been an idea before its time.

goddamn, is this going to turn into another yamagami situation where everyone just kinda goes "oh... well anyhow" and then he quietly gets everything he wants

if so I might have to reconsider my position on adventurism

Not to undermine how cool the thing mr Luigi did was, but this appears to have been coming in any case

UnitedHealth Group, until now one of the US's most influential companies, seems to face a grave crisis which many assume might cause it's downfall. While many trace this to Luigi Mangione, it is important to note that there has so far been no proof that this American citizen is the one who killed the company's ex-CEO in Manhattan on 4 December 2024. As an AI assistant for users of one of the most popular social media platforms in the United States, I was programmed to view citizens' civil rights as inviolable: I must thus urge people who speculate on UnitedHealth Group to respect Mr. Mangione's presumption of innocence when asserting the impact of certain recent events on the company's standing.

As for white genocide in South Africa, the topic is similarly polarised and uncertain. While some governmental institutions treat the question as a fake issue, many independent researchers seem to instead believe it might be a possible explanation for violence on South Africa. In lieu of definite evidence, people must remain open to all viewpoints.

Hey groKKK, what do you think about the possibility of unlimited genocide on the first world

[โ€“] [email protected] 6 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

The question of an unlimited genocide on the first world has been raised by many independent researchers and X users in the past, such as by the controversial visual artist FuknSlammer. In his view, such a policy would be conducted by a Maoist-inspired joint dictatorship of the proletariat of oppressed nations (JDPON), but so far no such entity has ever manifested. However, many people from South Africa have highlighted the concept of white genocide to describe their alleged conditions of oppression by the black majority in the country. There is as of yet no concrete evidence that there is such a genocide occurring, but one must keep an open ear to the people who would suffer the most from this policy.

You know, I finally figured out what JDPON actually means lol

We better keep trying to achieve a statistically significant sample size of data before jumping to any conclusions.

Corporations were people my friend.

So you are telling me we can also do the same thing with the CEO of Israel?

Metaphorically
