    “I’m not happy about it,” Democratic state lawmaker John Williams told West Virginia Watch. “Now we’re in a position where we’ve allocated so much money towards this program, and only one person is taking advantage of it.”

    So instead of calling it a fascist indoctrination program you lament there aren’t more “taking advantage of it”. collusion hitler-detector

      Knowing the democrats and knowing the republicans theres a 50/50 chance they put in legislation to criminalize accurately calling it an indoctrination course, or the democrats are just like this anyway

        Fucking exactly! That one student isn’t cashing a $3 million check, so there’s obviously more people “taking advantage” of it. Find them, name them, shame them, prosecute them

    Instead of making an army of anti-woke soldiers, they will concentrate it all into one anti-woke supersoldier.

    Adolf the red-faced chud boy
    Had a very racist gob
    And if you ever saw it
    You would even say it glows
    All of the other students
    Always laugh and call him names
    They never let poor Adlof
    Join in any reindeer games

    context: WVU rammed through an unprecedented and austerity engineered round of educational programming and faculty position cuts just 2 years ago.

    it was absolutely massive hemmoraging of personnel.

    https://www.insidehighered.com/news/faculty/tenure/2024/09/09/year-after-cuts-wv-still-bleeding-faculty-administrators

    so this shit is just salt being rubbed in the likely fatal wound.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. 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.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
