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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

NATO demonstrates why the solution to the Fermi Paradox is that civilisations destroy themselves before they become an interstellar civilisation.
It would be extremely funny if humans are the only ones in our Galaxy that nuke ourselves
What if humans are famous galaxy-wide as one of the most brutal species on record and we've been under an age old quarantine so total and extensive that if we learned even a fraction of the details it would make our heads spin
UFOs are just missionaries breaking the blockade
In that case I hope someone pulls a Sentinel island on their goofy ass, the quarantine authorities are 100% correct, humans at this level of development cannot escape the earth
lmao imagine this virulent strain of capitalism rampaging across the stars, fuck that nightmare
it'd explain all those scifi stories in which every other sentient alien species is better at stuff than us but we nevertheless win the war. it's cos nobody's as relentlessly and institutionally brutal as we are.
"Should we check on those bipeds that haven't achieved global harmony yet? Maybe they finally overcame their individual and regional differences"
"Sure"
"...oh"
