news
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.

My wife fled her family trying to kill her. Now she's "undocumented". No offense but "left-wing" anti-immigrationists are as socialist as the nazis in my book.
Prohibition of migration is an awful policy that makes exploitation worst. Illegal aliens can be exploited without mercy because they fear getting deported. That's the whole point of the appartheid system we live in.
YOU're privileged, you have papers and a job to replace
so you are telling me that it is wrong to assume Privledge when one refuses to see the Economic aspects of Imigration, Imigration is holy of economical Aspect. The Immigrant can 100% be assumed to be aware of the Economic Aspect, per definition it is why he is Migrating Somebody that is seeking Tempary protection is seeking asylum.
PM about the undocumented stuff , if you want i might have Burocratic Guidance , shes your wife but Undocumented ? what are you ? where was the Marrige ?
i have not done that in the slightest. you on the other hand keep spamming "reserve army of labour" like you learnt about it yesterday as if that justifies throwing immigrants under the bus.
so you for the increasment of it or not ?
What has Marx wrong in his assesment ?
you argue in complete bad faith i see.. should have noticed earlier...
no, I'm saying using state power to restrict migration is basically being the arm of the capital. The threat of prohibition is the stick that gives the people to capitalist.
The privilege comes when one think he have more right to unionized proletariat than the rest of the world
Law of Burocarcy applies , so .. what migrant has the Burocracy the most easy "access" to ?
the good immigrated Syrian Doktor , that even Put himself into the Yellow papers , or the Under the Radar right wing cartoon ? Burocracy has access to the "good Integrated" Now Right wing sentiment after some event forces a "Crackdown" , whom will Burocracy use to forfill some Quotas it is forced to forfill to feed a bloodthirtsty populus .. topic has no beginning and , but historiclly States mostly fail in guiding Peoplesmovements (as in Moving People)
if the Proletariat does not Unite but splinteres along cultural or racial lines , then it is the "common ruin" of the Contenting Classes. Barbarism . Some will fail some will succed no right need to granted to act in the class interest only necessity.
