      This is why whenever one of those right wing freaks gets ventilated I celebrate it proudly. It should frankly be happening more.

        When someone says it’s wrong to celebrate it, I laugh in their face. When someone says they’re not sad but they personally don’t want to celebrate it, I say no worries, I’ll celebrate for the both of us.

    The shootings come a week after Fox News host Brian Kilmeade said on air that homeless individuals with mental illness should be killed.

    "That’s the way it has to be now. Or, involuntary lethal injection. Yeah. Or something. Just kill ‘em, yeah,” Kilmeade said in response to his co-host suggesting homeless people suffering from mental illness be imprisoned if they do not accept treatment.

    Kilmeade has since apologized for his statement after a public backlash.

    Fox News has always been a stochastic terror machine.

    Fox News Channel commentator Bill O’Reilly has also been accused of demonizing Tiller.[71] O’Reilly was found to have mentioned Tiller by name on The O’Reilly Factor, his show on the Fox News Channel, 42 separate times prior to Tiller’s death, referring to him specifically as a “baby killer” in 24 instances.[72] O’Reilly said he was not responsible for Tiller’s death and defended his campaign against Tiller, saying:

    When I heard about Tiller’s murder, I knew pro-abortion zealots and Fox News haters would attempt to blame us for the crime, and that’s exactly what has happened. […] Every single thing we said about Tiller was true, and my analysis was based on those facts. […] Now, it’s clear that the far left is exploiting — exploiting — the death of the doctor. Those vicious individuals want to stifle any criticism of people like Tiller. That — and hating Fox News — is the real agenda here.[73]

    I’m sure there will be lots of public consideration about how rhetoric in the media and the vilification of people for simply minding their own business in public spaces contributed to this wave of violence. The president will order flags lowered to half staff in honor of those slain, right?

    I know I’ve heard from a Minneapolis resident that one of these was an internal dispute among camp residents as opposed to an outside mass murderer.

      Saying whatever you want* to as many people as possible cannot possibly have any material impact on the world or the people living in it

      *DO NOT UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES OFFER ANY MEANINGFUL CRITICISM OF THE EMPIRE

    The use of stochastic terrorism has become a core tenet of modern fascism. It works, it keeps their hands looking clean, and it keeps the liberals from getting too nervous about the actual dirty work, since it’s just free speech of course.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
