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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

They're gonna get nuked again?
This is one of the positions among Japan's New Left after WWII and why they gained popularity. Japan's far-right government started a war they couldn't win, predicated on the enslavement and colonization of their neighbors, only to result in the country's destruction and getting two nuclear bombs dropped on them. They gained nothing out of the war except occupation by a foreign army from the other side of the world and millions of dead bodies. Reactionary politics is not good for Japan seeing as how it led to Hiroshima and Nagasaki with many more cities firebombed.
The right-wing chuds see WWII as something they should try again, but this time they'll totally win, despite the countries they invaded last time having better armies and military technology that has outpaced Japan. Surely their small-ass island nation with a declining population can take on China (which is not in the middle of a civil war and has nukes), both halves of Korea (which are at a stalemate and have done nothing but build up their militaries for the last 50 years), the Philippines (which is not in ruins from fighting two superpowers in a row), and Vietnam (who have done nothing but win wars since they won the last war they fought against Japan).
