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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

the tenant union was apart of a quickly constructed "no" campaign, and it succeeded, even tho this neck of the woods is full of sportsball brained libs and straight up nazis. I was really surprised when I saw this headline, I'm also from around here
Seems like there are 4 or 5 hexbearians from the area which is a lot more than I would’ve guessed. Definitely upgraded my opinion of our city a bit. And I didn’t mean to imply it’s a uniquely shitty city, just one that has personally infuriated me quite a few times.
As someone from another backwater midwest city I get it self depreciating humor keeps us all sane
Nah, I get it. I'm from one of the small towns originally, we got a lot of shitty people and shitty places around here, but also a lot of good people too and I have a special place in my heart for the big cities. Sending my love comrade, maybe you'll see the Hexbear sticker on my car one day
Fair enough, it may be shitty but its our shitty city
yeah i'm not trying to take anything away from them, i just hate living in the region. i'd probably hate most other places too, but i'm deeply familiar with the way it sucks here and if Eisenhower wasn't dead i'd kill him.
I get that. I always thought I'd move away from the area one day, but where else am I gonna go? This is home and everyone's home is worth fighting for, no matter how shitty the bosses have made it. Even a small victory is worth some kind of celebration, we shouldn't give in to defeatism
i feel no special attachment to place due to the accident of where my parents moved to before i was born. I hate the climate and latitude as well, not just the culture and civil planning. This place is nothing but sadness to me. A pit I briefly escaped and then was pushed back into against my will.
Home's about the friends and memories we made along the way, not some kind of fascist blood and soil essentialism. I hope you find a home either here or somewhere comrade, but mine is definitely here, everyone deserves to have a place to call home even rats who have to live in a dark wet hole like the midwest
