    Hello, it’s me, Kash Patel, we found a blahaj, a gender extremist transgender symbol, near the scene of the crime at the local IKEA 62.1 miles away. I will now take any questions, except questions why I haven’t told the rest of the group about my zombie bite.

      That guy can’t be okay. He looks incredibly not okay in every photo I’ve seen of him. Like, if he were okay, that would not be what his face looks like 100% of the time, and surely we would have caught him looking normal and cool and okay at least once by now.

          I’ve known a fair number of Indians who look fine. Like, I’m not worried for theirs or my safety because they look normal and cool and we’re all gonna be fine. I have the exact opposite feeling whenever I see Kash.

          Yeah. Generally I’d say this was a silly way to do it obviously (and that’s probably still the case here) but it might not be the worst idea if you don’t want anything linking back to the original phone like a photo message in your chat history etc. So long as you scrub the exif/photo meta data it doesn’t risk a link with the person whose phone screen the original picture is on.

            Copyrighted media is often watermarked with imperceptible details that are unique to each viewer and can be traced back to prevent leaks or piracy (think how focus groups get a highly visible transparent uuid plastered over their video). No idea if that technology is in use here or if the information loss from the photo of a photo is enough to remove the watermark, however.

              This is true, but from the looks of this one I’d guess it’s a hastily snapped picture from a bystander keeping a decent distance away (the low res zoom, bad framing etc).

      For the first couple hours after it happened the chuds were of course recklessly speculating that it was a Black guy or Muslim because of the proximity to Detroit. But in reality, military veterans have a long record of violent attacks like this

        @VHS@hexbear.net That won’t stop chuds. They’ll think he got Sunshine’d and was convinced to do the attack.

        Look at their discourse after the C. Kirk shooting and they found out it was a white guy responsible but that he had a transwoman roommate. Look at how quickly the narrative was spun.

        A lot of serial killers have military backgrounds as well. In a way, serial killers are just vets who can’t adjust to civilian life where they can’t commit war crimes anymore.

          There is a theory in the more sane areas of true crime that the spike in serial killers in the 70’s and 80’s is likely directly related to the increase in Korean and Vietnam veterans returning from service. Another common thing was a noted increase in arsons.

    A Mormon church is a weird target. What are the chances this is chud on chud violence? Mormons are weird and weren’t really viewed well a lot of American Christians until recently.

      Wasn’t the person who shot Charlie Kirk Mormon? It’s possible this is some chud’s idea of revenge.

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.
