      I think it’s kind of problematic that they targeted CDC headquarters.

        Ya chuds will fight an actual war to make sure that vaccines are banned.

        Honestly I don’t believe the state will put up much of a fight to defend public health.

          The US has fucking both sided public health. Crazy.

          Imagine it’s late 2026 and the bird flu has mutated to allow person-to-person transmission. The US is facing a pandemic of what will be at best many million deaths. The republicans will - of course - have a messaging like “Pandemics are good because this culls the weak.” Meanwhile - the democrats will be creepy on the qt. In public they’ll make bland pronouncements about the importance of public health. But anybody with a brain will see the dems basic focus is in “winning” the situation and then benefiting in the 2028 elections.

            I think you’re spending too much time on bluesky comrade. It’s not just that the blue capitalists feign interest in public health for electoral gain, they are just as interested in forcing public health bureaucrats to issue recommendations favorable to the bosses regardless of the public health impact as the red capitalists.

          He was a chud who targeted the CDC because he blamed vaccines for his long covid symptoms, you’re “critically” supporting a fascist to own the libs. And honestly, that’s what has been wrong with the site for months, you’re all so obsessed with the Bidenists living rent free in your head that half of you are about to turn full Strasserite. This is disgusting, do some self crit asap you reactionary loser.

              The person doing the shooting was a fascist who thought vaccines as a category are bad. You are mad at someone for not cheering for armed antivaxx insurrection. You are not owning the democrats here.

              I’m not gonna cry over dead cops, but the antivaxx shooter isn’t a hero fighting for the proletariat.

                Why do we have to endorse or denounce his actions or motives? In his stupidity, he clapped a cop. Don’t care what he believed, but this is a better outcome than most chud adventurists doing anything will have.

                  Because the reply thread you are in is explicitly about whether targeting the cdc is by itself good.

                    Is it though?

                    My reading was that people are scolding the top level comment for “critical support” of someone targeting an institution that chuds hate.

                    To me, it’s clear this is a joke and the purpose of the original comment is to express joy that a cop got eliminated.

                    I don’t think ButtBidet or anyone else here would be similarly celebratory in a repeat scenario where a bunch of CDC PMC libs got eliminated instead.

                  The idea that a single fascist with a gun is anything but a fascist with a gun and shouldn’t be treated as a fascist with a gun is equally fucking lib shit.

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.
