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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Oh there will be vengeance... against the poor and the climate refugees sadly.

First they denounce terms like climate justice. Then they'll embrace it as one of the eco-fascist pillars of the late 21st century.

“In the real world, the current transition strategy is visibly failing on most fronts as it collides with five hard realities,”

Someone should put a funnel into this guy's mouth and pour some oil in, see how much he loves the oil

The president of the leopard eating faces party would like to remind us all that wearing any kind of protective mask or helmet has been proven to be ineffective, and that he really really doesn't like it when people wear them.

I fail to see how this is news. Of course a CEO would say this. Did they pay CNBC to run this newsvertisement?

[–] Kuori@hexbear.net 9 points 8 months ago

It’s only fiction until it’s not. But fantasy? Dude needs to learn the difference between sci fi and fantasy. Everybody has to lump those together like they’re the same thing.
