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 URL but also xcancle.org (or another Nitter instance). 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.today, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org). 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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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.

Website seemed cool, this snippit makes me concerned though:
"If we all just get out and ~~vote~~ yell at nothing on the street, everything will change drastically for the better. Go check out these ops."
fucking lib-brained theory of protests, protest worked because they implied strikes as a next step, marching is no different from parade, probably increases uber eats revenues. if 3.5 population mentioned would be in manufacturing say, they would drop usa output by 30%, 3.5% ngo workers won't be noticed at all.
other theory of protests includes, of course, cia funded donkey with gold and/or foreign military strikes, which seems even unlikelier.
Libs think getting the permit, promising to only be in the streets for a couple hours, and cosplaying their favorite dystopian tv show for a few pictures means the protest was successful, and that's all you can do!
Hey now you can also write to your representative! I’m sure they or their interns are taking the time to read your letter and not tossing it in the trash along with the thousands of other letters they get every day
Nu uh, because they have to read it by law.
I stg you dumb commies are so ignorant of basic ec– I mean politics.
Yeah if 3.5% of the populace of the United States like, occupied all the airports and demanded something to happen because of that before they went home then yes, you'll see a lot of change. 3.5% marches on a police approved route through major metro areas and then go home? That's just a parade.
what's funny is the regime considers them exactly the same. they're going to crack down on the organized lib parade just as hard eventually
No, if it is >= 3.5% they legally have to dissolve the government.
It's a bit lib but I don't think it's damaging, probably just trying to do everything they can.
Yeah true, this is admittedly a vibez analysis, I don't know much about the people behind the 'Crustian Daily'. I think I'm too hard on the libs sometime, it wouldn't be bad for there to be mass protests, I just hope people continue and translate that into material action. My fear is that this 50501 group seems to be co-opted by some sort of dems/libs to purposely redirect revolutionary potential.
Protests are good for awareness but the problem is that liberal thought typically ceases there. The website itself is more useful action on this than the protests, but since the website is made and actively compiling, protests are basically just a small boost. That said, proper organizing with a socialist org is probably the most useful thing, but this holds appeal in lib circles as well so it crosses typical political boundaries.
Orgs with a more revolutionary orientation need to show up and recruit. That's what happens in my city. PSL, DSA, CPUSA, and others are all tabling and canvassing at these marches.
Edit: inb4 "CPUSA/DSA are not revolutionary" cause that's not the point. If you want to beat these orgs out too, show up and do a better job harnessing revolutionary energy than they do.
Decent something is better than perfect nothing
the no kings protest crossed this threshold, I guess we already won?
At No Kings day, I got in a verbal fight with a Karen who was chanting "from Hamas" back to the Palestine bloc that was chanting "Free Palestine"
