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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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 it's just wishful thinking, but this strikes me as a really, really bad idea. A bunch of conscripts led by guys who are desperate for a win and think Intelligence is "woke?"
It one thing to lob bombs from afar, it's another thing entirely to actually stick your dick into the bear trap.
I don't know if I saw it here, but someone asked the question "would you be an acceptable target for a violent Native American organization?" It gave me pause
Edit: I guess, the same way I don't enjoy that random people are killed, the same way I don't think the janitors in the twin towers had it coming for what the US did in the middle east, I wouldn't enjoy being targeted by a native American faction. I could comprehend why it was happening if I were in the crosshairs of some fuckin person's rifle while I'm just some fuckin person. I would just plea and bargain for my life and not some "you don't have to do this! be better than this!"
If there were a violent Native American organization in my area threatening random whiteys my first instinct would be to see if they're open to random whiteys joining them. So if I didn't do that? Yeah I guess I'd consider myself an acceptable target
