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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

aside from everything else, one of the most obvious signs that capitalism is a trash system is that we all have to know about this guy's shit takes. and not only that, his bullshit takes and notions create gravitational pull on societies resources, including state policy.
in any reasonable society, this opportunistic douchebag would have been picking up garbage on the side of the road and other work-release shit for trying to steal other peoples' ideas and collect tolls for their use. his attempts to legitimize "intellectual property" would have backfired and resulted in the nationalization and release to the public domain of large libraries of software.
instead we get this guy constantly trying to colonize africa's food system, hanging out on sex crime island, doing vaccine apartheid, becoming the largest owner of prime agricultural land in the US, and generally being able to walk the streets without anyone throwing rotten cabbage at his face.
Don't forget when he thought he could solve schools as well. He literally knows nothing about anything (not even fucking computers) and yet because he commands capital we have to listen to dumbass takes every time he thinks he's solved something. And because he isn't a total idiot like musk, most people take him seriously.
