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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Evoking 'first they came for' while completely missing the point is becoming a new lib sport at this point
First they came for the socialists, and I laughed because those fuckers voted for Jill Stein
"First they came for the Latinos, and I reported them to ICE.
Then they came for the Muslim-Americans, and I laughed when they got deported because they voted for Jill Stein.
Then they came for the Black Men, and I called the police on them for driving near my house, as payback because a minority of them voted for Trump, but I see ethnic groups as a monolith (except my own because I am an ~individual~.
Then they came for the Women, and I cheered at them bleeding out in parking lots because they live in red states so fuck those racists!
Then they came for me, I'm a white male, so they didn't really do anything to me but I can be really smug about it!"
