      Just a line of people, wrapped around the outside of the prison, wearing various costumes and practicing their bit. Like something out of a Naked Gun or Mel Brooks flick. data-laughing

        Loving it… But I’m wondering if we couldn’t figure out how to spring him ala oceans 11(12,13,14, idk) and use the scenario as a dnd campaign to map out the many different possibilities across thousands of play groups at once. fedposting

    Fuck me, i know we like to mock the average american, but there really are a lot of stupidly brave, rudderless, “on the right track” people over there who are ending up doing adventurist shit because there’s no party to organise them. Sad to see.

      I say it often, but I think one of the biggest obstacles is foreign policy. You even see it here on Lemmy. So many people say things like, “PSL seems cool, they do a lot of good work, but don’t they also like Russia and China? They sound like a bunch of tankies.” I heard someone also say authoritarian left once, which made me cringe.

      Until we break through that barrier of propaganda about US American policy, it will be really difficult to organize the public into a real communist party. Otherwise, they’re all going to go to the 505051/No Kings, Indivisible, DSA, or Workers Party, all of which just funnel people back to the Democrats right now.

      I think more outlets for media criticism and analysis, like Citations Needed or some of what Hasan does, is probably the only way to get people to start to resist all the propaganda being thrown at them 24/7.

              Oh yeah, had to get stitches because the bolt hit the bone, glanced off and tore a big gash across my front shoulder region

              Went to the ER, gave them a fake name and address and snuck out without paying

              Hid it from my family until it healed and never hung out with Greg again

      Hasn’t been judged so not a murderer.

      Also the actions of whomever killed the CEO did strike enough fear in insurance companies at the time that there was an influx of claim approvals which led to people actually getting care they needed which is pretty fucking heroic.

      Also the guy died committed grave institutional horrors and removing his option to do so was a good thing which we need more of.

        Great comment and these points are all good things to keep in mind whenever someone tells you that “adventurism never does any good and never serves any purpose,” or that it “can only make things worse.” Would it be better if it happened as part of a vanguard party action? You bet. Is it still good it happened anyway? Also yes, definitely. Adventurism is going to happen, especially in a society so ill equipped with organization (by design of our enemies), there is going to be pushback and if there is no organization in place to direct it, it’s going to happen as adventurism. Don’t put it down, don’t ridicule it, and don’t incorrectly say it made no difference, especially when it’s so apparent that it did make a difference, saying it didn’t just undermines yourself. You can encourage people who have that fiery passion for justice to join orgs without disparaging others with that fiery passion for doing good things in the absence of any viable organization.

      No. Idiot logic. Full stop.

      He is someone who sacrificed his own freedom to administer justice to someone who is responsible for untold death and suffering that otherwise would never see justice and would continue to hurt people and be rewarded. These people are heroes in societies where injustices like this exist, and you’re doing a massive disservice to your fellow countrymen for perpetuating these injustices by condemning those who fight against them.

                  Yeah I always thought it was so stupid. The hexbears people have been lovely as far as I’ve seen. But I’m a dirty ML commie.

                  But I regularly see people in .world talking shit about how rude people in hexbears and .ml are, while meanwhile being rude as fuck themselves. I swear some of those people are FBI with how many words they put into an instance that they’re defederated from’s mouth.

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.
