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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

"Trump threatens to nuke US economy as other sensible nations grin and rub their hands together"

Please tell me that Ireland is eligible to join BRICS, I just want one English-speaking country that doesn't have their heads up their own asses.

By all means, let the burgerlanders run their own country in the ground. Just makes leftist's jobs easier.

S is for South Africa, which is a largely English-speaking country. Although we've still got quite a bit of headassery going on. India also has English as an official language. But we could use more Europeans -- come join us!

South Africa could use more Europeans? Haven't you done enough?

[–] flyingchaucer@lemmy.sdf.org 3 points 2 weeks ago

I meant BRICS could use more European member states

Ireland's economy is heavily predicated on it's allies and neighbors using them to dodge taxes.

I don't think you come out ahead when the burgerlanders go broke and McDonald's no longer has any dollars/euros to stash in your banks.
