    How often do countries deny responsibility for assassinations conducted halfway around the world?

        this would be an incredible bit

        Nick Mullen becomes foreign minister for a tiny county in the global south and they begin loudly and ostentatiously denying responsibility for every single assassination and terrorist attack that occurs worldwide

    You know… the first two times Netanyahu made a statement saying he didn’t do it I believed him.

    This third time Netanyahu made a statement about not killing Chuckie K. is making me rethink my previous opinion.

        Or they’re panicking about a possible takeover of the GOP by the anti-Israeli nazi faction currently exploiting this and pushing conspiracy theories to make the dominant Christian-zionist faction as unpopular as possible. Some people on the anti-Zionist kinda-left like Blumenthal and Galloway are also pushing this theory to the point of saying bizarre shit like Kirk being “presidential”, a possible future successor to Trump etc. It’s ends justify the means opportunism.

            GOP nazi infighting over conspiracy theories instead of focusing against trans people like the Christian faction initially wanted is epic and should not be messed with. At the same time though a possible takeover of the GOP by the nazi wing like Bannon etc may be way worse long term.

            The surreal irony is that Tyler was such a lukewarm wildcard that he may have huge negotiating power and regardless of his real motives, even with basic lawyer support he could threaten to publicly claim that he was a groyper or an Israeli asset in exchange for all sorts of stuff. He’s already heading for the death penalty so what are they gonna do? Kill him earlier by suicide and convince everyone that it was really a conspiracy? He can even play dumb during the trial and do some tell all interview afterwards if he doesn’t get a lighter sentence.

            So this may also be preemptive damage control by GOP pawns and Israel in case Tyler does one or the other, which also looks suspicious and “confirms” conspiracy theories. I love it.

              Idk, I think I take the Nazis over the Apocalypse Enjoyers. The Nazis want to live in a white ethnostate, the Christians want everyone on earth to die

    Israel is poking the bee hive. It might not be prudent of them but they caught the fascism tiger by the tail so they’re locked on this course for now.

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.
