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.
What do you mean Venezuela's new president? I haven't heard of an election happening in Venezuela and the US, despite their weirdly overconfident (even by their standard) claims that they have Venezuela in their grip, aren't remotely in a position to pick a puppet president to rule the country.
Is this actually a thing or is that yet an other of the "
We already won"-pilled articles that keep being published since Maduro's kidnapping for some obscure reason I don't get?
She was VP. Same would apply in US. Sole reason for a VP. You can make a case that she's interim president.
Ok, makes sense
Don't let your guard down though. This is what this article insinuate. That the CIA rot in Venezuela went so deep that they even got their VP.
this also sounds like a psyop
Yes, keep that in mind as well. Latin America has a history with the CIA, so even drawing any kind of connection to her with the CIA is enough to cost her support amongst the population. Even if the connection is false, or distant from her. I don't know how trustworthy this source is, and I also don't have a reason to not trust them. But it could very well be a story planted by the CIA to get the story out there, and make her lose support.
From what I gathered from this article, I'd say the 500k "gift" to Trump's first inauguration was a gambit, and one that failed. But that's politics, so I think it's really fucking funny how Fortune tries to make it look like she's an idiot.
In general, the article made me like her a lot more than I did before. Let's go Delcy 
Probably had to do with the sanctions and espionage done by Obama
Yesterday a CBS host was mad arguing with Marco asking why they didn’t kidnap more members of Venezuela’s government
mentioned in comparison to her.
My opinion is that she was in on it the whole time, the US needed a PSUV heavyweight to make their invasion as frictionless as possible and possibly create a split in the party
