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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Fucking sue his ass. He couldn't have teed up a clearer libel suit if he fucking tried. Do it, you bastards

So funny how NYC is giving DSA all the credit for these rallies when they weren't even one of the many groups that did organize it

Valor stolen from PYM and PSL lmao

Oh wow, this is giving me a warped nostalgia for the Corbyn days where the gutter media would claim his supporters were doing Hitler Youth rituals in secret and making preparations for a second kristallnacht...

Literal genocide in Gaza

Here’s why Jews are the real victims

Honestly, I’ve been pretty shocked by the reaction to this I’ve seen from under-40 evangelicals and chuds writ large. I mean, not that they have great opinions on the situation but I’m seeing a lot of “the US shouldn’t support Israel” stuff, really feels like there’s a big generational divide here.

I think a relevant expression is trust is gained in thimbles and lost in buckets

  1. That the public has no impact on policy whatsoever.

"Here's why antifa are the real fascists"

Sounds an awful fucking lot like defending fascism.

If social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism, the Democrats are it's frothing cheerleader

[–] [email protected] 48 points 11 months ago

social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism and liberalism is to the right of that

[–] [email protected] 19 points 11 months ago

Yes, of course. Neoliberalism is rational fascism, but fascism is the only logical end point of neoliberalism, it can only start and end in it.

“See fellow comrades? We in the DSA, in order to maintain our credibility as leftists, must commit to funding the destruction of Hamas. Then others will take us seriously, and we can work with with progressive elements within Israel to push Biden left.”

Western leftists stop groveling for liberal approval challenge (impossible)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

It's like trying to impress parents who hate you. They'll always find new reasons.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 11 months ago

push Biden [down a flight of stairs]

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago

We can push Bibi left!

shut the fuck up, cop

[–] [email protected] 53 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Watch next he'll say "you know who else was a socialist and hated jews? Yeah, that's right, HITLER"

[–] [email protected] 22 points 11 months ago (1 children)

that is a shockingly common theme on Twitter

Americans have 0 understanding of politics, history, and geography but somehow they all believe they're experts. It's maddening.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 11 months ago

Fight stupid with stupid, even if it's just for a laugh.

On the same coin, call them "the real leftists" or "commieservatives".

[–] [email protected] 50 points 11 months ago (1 children)

didn't NYC DSA already walk back their first pro-palestine statement too like a bunch of liberal cowards? Just goes to show you should never give these bastards an inch

[–] [email protected] 10 points 11 months ago

Yup liberal darling Always On Camera condemned the protest for ....... reasons.

And NYDSA made the mistake of not putting out a statement saying "we don't give a fuck what the people perpetuating this genocide think of our protest"

[–] [email protected] 47 points 11 months ago (1 children)

legal action

DO IT YOU COWARDS

[–] [email protected] 14 points 11 months ago

You don't understand, why take legal action that would require a public retraction and apology as well as potentially substantial funding for your cause, when you could just link a petition on your Twitter and ask all the people calling you terrorists in the comments to sign it?

[–] [email protected] 46 points 11 months ago

you had the DSA and others carrying swastikas and calling for the extermination of Jewish people.

the-democrat "The group in question was actually the 'DeSantis Supporters of America', but we have no interest in attacking them"

[–] [email protected] 31 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Part of the reason why I think forming an actual existing left American political party of any shape or stripe is so difficult because of shit like this. For whatever reason the political powers that be can say "left groups are actually working for a cabal of Bisexual Netherworld Liches and will bring about the final sunset. This will usher in a new age of darkness.” and the media will signal boost this sort of stuff without question or correction. The consent manufacturers are really working overtime the last decade

Swastikas? In MY DSA? It's more likely than you thin... wait wtf

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

So glad they purged their pro-Palestinian members, that really protected them from spurious accusations of antisemitism

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

DSA generalissimo for lyfe Nicholas Mullen says this didnt happen in his DSA.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 11 months ago

Hi, I am a Jew and I do not think ALL Muslims are terrorists and my Judaism doesn't hypnotize me into hating EVERY Muslim ever.

I think I just blew the minds of 99% of the human race.
