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.
-
Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
AI Slop: Don't post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.

psychedelic mushrooms and ecstasy at private gatherings? yeeesh can you imagine being on hallucinogens at these types of events with these types of monsters? i'd 100% have a bad trip
I took acid and went to a Six Sigma Christmas party as a plus one to a friend who worked at a bank. LSD makes me very social and I just drank a lot so everyone thought I was just drunk. I think while trying to blend in I described myself as 'a wild eyed grunt sent to war who just wants to kill. But in an economic sense. I'm just here to spread misery.' And it was taken pretty well
I've actually been to parties in Silicon Valley with rich capitalists before and did a bunch of drugs with them
The capitalists themselves were pretty boring to chat with but I mostly hung out with the hired catering staff + musicians and the capitalists GFs and wives (usually 1-3 decades younger lmao). There were also some models that I think were hired to attend that were also really fun with hang out with
It's not terrible, there was weird performative white people woke shit like the host was a white dude, all his capitalist friends were white dudes, and the only POC was me, the party staff, and a few of the partners of capitalists. And they would do hippie spiritual sound baths, have black people play African drums in African garb while talking about the spirit of Africa, playing Indigenous music and saying how we need to respect their land, have Asian musicians talk about Buddhism and spirituality, etc.
One of the Asian musicians even told me they went by their Asian name to the guests to seem more "oriental". But he told me to just call him Alex LOL
The mansions are usually decorated with both lots of recognizable local and famous art with shit taste but there were cool places to hang out at like the pool, sauna, movie theater, music studio, etc.
I had fun being high af off a cocktail of whatever free drugs I'd get offered at those parties, but again, only because I mostly talked to the non capitalists there
