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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

Yeah that sucks.
It'll just be sold to some bourgeois asshole to sit in some private collection out of view of the public for the next hundred years (probably some monarchist fan too...) and enrich some professional criminals whose acts are in no way revolutionary. These are not the type of people who are shoplifting a Walmart or robbing a small bank branch.
Say what you will about France and stolen stuff, this isn't a repatriation of stolen heritage or wealth, it's just shifting stuff from public view where anyone with a bit of money can enjoy it for an entry fee (not far from the socialist ideal where anyone can enjoy it free), to some private collection to enrich some professional criminals and add pleasure to the day to day of some rich asshole who probably jerks off over the idea of monarchy.
