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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Israel-Palestine Conflict

If you have evidence of Israeli crimes and atrocities that you wish to preserve, there is a thread here in which to do so.

Sources on the fighting in Palestine against Israel. In general, CW for footage of battles, explosions, dead people, and so on:

UNRWA daily-ish reports on Israel's destruction and siege of Gaza and the West Bank.

English-language Palestinian Marxist-Leninist twitter account. Alt here.
English-language twitter account that collates news (and has automated posting when the person running it goes to sleep).
Arab-language twitter account with videos and images of fighting.
English-language (with some Arab retweets) Twitter account based in Lebanon. - Telegram is @IbnRiad.
English-language Palestinian Twitter account which reports on news from the Resistance Axis. - Telegram is @EyesOnSouth.
English-language Twitter account in the same group as the previous two. - Telegram here.

English-language PalestineResist telegram channel.
More telegram channels here for those interested.

Various sources that are covering the Ukraine conflict are also covering the one in Palestine, like Rybar.

Russia-Ukraine Conflict

Examples of Ukrainian Nazis and fascists
Examples of racism/euro-centrism during the Russia-Ukraine conflict

Sources:

Defense Politics Asia's youtube channel and their map. Their youtube channel has substantially diminished in quality but the map is still useful. Moon of Alabama, which tends to have interesting analysis. Avoid the comment section.
Understanding War and the Saker: reactionary sources that have occasional insights on the war.
Alexander Mercouris, who does daily videos on the conflict. While he is a reactionary and surrounds himself with likeminded people, his daily update videos are relatively brainworm-free and good if you don't want to follow Russian telegram channels to get news. He also co-hosts The Duran, which is more explicitly conservative, racist, sexist, transphobic, anti-communist, etc when guests are invited on, but is just about tolerable when it's just the two of them if you want a little more analysis.
On the ground: Patrick Lancaster, an independent and very good journalist reporting in the warzone on the separatists' side.

Unedited videos of Russian/Ukrainian press conferences and speeches.

Pro-Russian Telegram Channels:

Again, CW for anti-LGBT and racist, sexist, etc speech, as well as combat footage.

https://t.me/aleksandr_skif ~ DPR's former Defense Minister and Colonel in the DPR's forces. Russian language.
https://t.me/Slavyangrad ~ A few different pro-Russian people gather frequent content for this channel (~100 posts per day), some socialist, but all socially reactionary. If you can only tolerate using one Russian telegram channel, I would recommend this one.
https://t.me/s/levigodman ~ Does daily update posts.
https://t.me/patricklancasternewstoday ~ Patrick Lancaster's telegram channel.
https://t.me/gonzowarr ~ A big Russian commentator.
https://t.me/rybar ~ One of, if not the, biggest Russian telegram channels focussing on the war out there. Actually quite balanced, maybe even pessimistic about Russia. Produces interesting and useful maps.
https://t.me/epoddubny ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/boris_rozhin ~ Russian language.
https://t.me/mod_russia_en ~ Russian Ministry of Defense. Does daily, if rather bland updates on the number of Ukrainians killed, etc. The figures appear to be approximately accurate; if you want, reduce all numbers by 25% as a 'propaganda tax', if you don't believe them. Does not cover everything, for obvious reasons, and virtually never details Russian losses.
https://t.me/UkraineHumanRightsAbuses ~ Pro-Russian, documents abuses that Ukraine commits.

Pro-Ukraine Telegram Channels:

Almost every Western media outlet.
https://discord.gg/projectowl ~ Pro-Ukrainian OSINT Discord.
https://t.me/ice_inii ~ Alleged Ukrainian account with a rather cynical take on the entire thing.

Dude set himself on fire outside the Trump trial. His page here:

Liberals mock the hypocrisy of conservatives; conservatives mock the hypocrisy of liberals, and our collective circumstances erode. The left shouts “All Cops Are Bastards,” which ensures they’ll be hated by the police and the public (and flies in the face of leftist theory). The public’s distrust of the government is at an all-time high, but so is the belief that we are helpless to do anything about it.

Dude seems brainwormed but he correctly labels "the left" as a separate thing to liberals.

Edit: Looks like libs are latching onto the whackiest part (where the Simpsons comes up) to completely dismiss all of it. This will make an impression on some people though.

EDIT2: Stupidpol and trueanon user. Local crank. Sad stuff.

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 47 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (2 children)

He posted his rambling screeds on stupidpol and TrueAnon

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 44 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So he's at least nominally left influenced then, which means both reps and dems will come together in calling him an insane crazy person.

Get ready for the congressional session dedicated to far-left extremist group “TrueAnon” headed by CEO Racial Jake

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:

[–] assyrian@hexbear.net 30 points 8 months ago (3 children)

what an indictment of TrueAnon, that they can produce a guy like this lmao

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

In fairness to them, they didn't produce him. He just posted insane posts in random subreddits, his last post was in stupidpol

[–] HexReplyBot@hexbear.net 4 points 8 months ago

A Reddit link was detected in your comment. Here are links to the same location on alternative frontends that protect your privacy.

The weed is too strong

[–] GinAndJuche@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

He was dunked on in the comments. He was posting a series of Substack articles called the Ponzi papers

[–] carpoftruth@hexbear.net 45 points 8 months ago (1 children)

The problem with Marxism is that it's a lot less exciting than shit like this. Obviously it is a better analytical system than "the Simpsons made everyone buy too much apecoin" but it just isn't as fun

[–] SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net 33 points 8 months ago

Marx failed to consider the Bored Ape Yacht Club

[–] Commiejones@hexbear.net 37 points 8 months ago (1 children)

So close but so far. If he would have just kept tugging at the strings instead of setting himself on fire he would realize that it isn't just his government that is a scam its the entire ideology of liberalism. Oh well. He'll be a great stepping stone for agitation for a day or two till everyone forgets him. Sounds like he is even gonna live to regret his stupidity.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago

Might convince the reddit admins to kill /r/stupidpol which would be a plus until they find somewhere else to congregate.

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 35 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

He donated to Bernie lol

I wouldn't put too much stock in it. He correctly identified that both American political parties basically just exist to scam people, which a pretty large portion of Americans would agree with, but runs away with it into insanity.

[–] Bnova@hexbear.net 28 points 8 months ago

I was subbed to his sub stack from when he was on Trueanon. He was entertaining and crazy, another death of despair under liberalism.

[–] ziggurter@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Dude seems brainwormed but he correctly labels "the left" as a separate thing to liberals.

But incorrectly labels conservatives as a separate thing to liberals. So maybe half right. Which seems to hold for the rest as well.

Anyway, he probably had some very real concerns motivating the act, even if he didn't have great politics. I can't stand it when liberals point out some problematic thing of someone's and then use it to absolutely dismiss everything they ever said or did.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 8 months ago

It's such a bad faith tactic. They are dishonest people.
