    Looking forward to the discourse around the Graham Platner of the moment 20 years from now that “accidentally” got a hate symbol tattoo in the few hours when it was “acceptable”. soviet-playful

          He gets a full back tattoo of “Arbeit macht frei”. And then he says he didn’t know what it meant exactly but he thought it was a message of solidarity of everybody “working together” to make a better world.

            No, that’s Charlie Chaplin on my bicep, not who you’re saying. Yeah he’s wearing a uniform, it’s from one of his movies or whatever.

              I got a Black Hole Sun tat on my right calf because I love Soundgarden so much. But then people told me the symbol was something bad. I didn’t know that! And they told me the music wasn’t even Soundgarden. But I didn’t know that either! All of this is very, very confusing.

      In the future everyone is going to ask where you were on the Day of the Apolitical Coast Guard Swastika.

      Oh yeah, this was absolutely a trial balloon. If there hadn’t been an immediate backlash this would have been rolled out across all US armed forces.

    With the paywall, all I can see is the hed and dek, but changing the swastika and noose to “potentially divisive” seems like they just didn’t like the PR they were getting from the first announcement.

      “Potentially divisive” was the new status that was previously announced. This atticle is about a reversal of that decision.

        Maybe they meant “potentially divisive” in a “your head should be divided from your neck” sense thonk

    After I don’t watch old-school cartoons for a long time - once the music plays I’m always instantly reminded how excellent the music is in them.

      Idk if you already know, but part of the aim of the og looney tunes was to get kids to listen to classical music, or at least feature it prominently. It was called looney tunes (not 'toons) for a reason

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.
