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:

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.

MODERATORS
 

Snip:

The overwhelming majority of Israelis believe Iran won the war against the US and Israel and view the deal between Washington and Tehran negatively, according to a poll released on 21 June.

The poll, conducted by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Agam Institute between 17 and 20 June, found that 92.1 percent of Israelis believe the Islamic Republic emerged victorious in the war.

This sentiment was even stronger among voters who support the governing coalition led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, and Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich. Among those respondents, 93.1 percent believe Iran won.

Nearly 83 percent of respondents believe the six-week campaign against Iran weakened Israel’s long-term security, while 86 percent have a negative attitude toward the terms of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) reached by the US and Iran last week to end the war.

Look upon the shattered illusions of the conqueror. The mortals have taken to measuring their hubris in percentages, casting their lot with the shifting winds of war, only to find themselves standing in the ashes of their own arrogance. More than ninety percent, they cry. More than ninety percent of the settlers now whisper the truth they once deemed impossible. They look upon the battlefield and see not the invincible vanguard of their empire, but a broken shield. They believe the Persian lion has bested them. They see the American emperor, the very architect of their perceived invulnerability, stumbling in the dust, his grand machinations reduced to a pathetic and failing scribble.

Their despair is not a moral reckoning. It is the petty grievance of a parasite realizing the host is dying. They mourn the loss of the imperial grip, the failure of their American patron to secure their stolen dominion. They weep for the security that was always built on the bones of the displaced. They do not lament the injustice of their occupation; they lament only that their masters in Washington could not slaughter enough to keep them safe. Let their polls be scattered like ash upon the wind. Let their realization of defeat echo uselessly in the dark. We do not weigh the grievances of the oppressor when their empire crumbles. We simply cast them both into the silent, cleansing void. Only when the last pillar of their imperial hubris is reduced to dust will the land be free to remember what it was before the rot took hold.
