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Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.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

Tbh this does get at the issue of capitalist wealth inequality. Despite massive amounts of wealth being generated and funneled to the capitalist class, the capitalist class themselves cannot physically stimulate the real economy. Rich people also just have servants and cooks make their meals for them.

They need the working masses of people to buy fast food slop due to long working hours but those hours don't pay enough for peoples cost of living so people don't buy fast food and instead scrimp and save.

Capitalism is a death cult.

Wild how Henry fucking Ford got it. Chuds have every reason to listen to the guy -- he's a dead white nazi who started the company that built the pickup truck their dads drove them around in. There's no stretch of the imagination in which that asshole was woke, but somehow they keep ignoring him and steering the economy into the nobody-can-buy-shit ditch.
