Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Anyone who visits Hollywood should immediately realize the US image is pure propaganda. That place gets worse every year, with just increasing amounts of dirt, grime, homeless people, grifters, etc and decreasing amounts of its unique character and culture. It's a place that tourists gather to spend their money and they still can't bring themselves to spend the money to keep it nice, presentable, and livable. Meshwhile, multi-million dollar mansions surround it on the outskirts, not to mention the star studded movie premieres with expensive suits and designer dresses that gather there a few events every year.
It's a testament to the downsides of capitalism and the atomization of society.
hopefully some day we can string up all the multimillionaires living in mansions in LA while surrounded by hell on earth levels of poverty and despair.
