news
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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

I didn't mean to imply he has no credibility. Actually, I quite like him. He's good TV at a bare minimum, but yeah he's got a great analysis of current events and he seems like a good guy. But I do think his usefulness will always be limited by his reformism.
Really though, I'm more concerned about his personal safety than I am about his politics right now. (Hence the parasocial comment.) I guess I spent too much time complaining in the previous comment, but I seriously think he needs to leave the country for his own safety (well really he should have left when he was stopped at the border, but again he's stubborn/braver than me).
I feel you. Things are about to get much worse and the right will use anything to manufacture an opportunity to advance actual fascism. I mean, the line from Charlie to Rittenhouse is basically straight.
Be safe all my friends comrades and revolutionary rabble rousers.
