          oh, I know. But you’d think we’re getting to that point where you’d see someone try it. Some infographs being spread around, screenshots from ecodefense, etc.

          what’s the play here chat? work nails or other sharps into triangular shapes to puncture more catastrophically, while affixing them to wood strips to aid deployment and cleanup?

          im just assuming a triangular hole would lose air faster the same way wounds like that are harder to stitch up on people but idk I’m not a tire pressure loss expert

      I think my post about crushed spark plugs (“ninja glass”) is a good idea too like some car drives at you? throw them at the windshield and oh they don’t have a windshield anymore (unless the glass exploding surface tension disruption by ceramics doesn’t work on windshields since they’re that glass that isn’t supposed to shatter idk)

    If anyone needs a reminder on how bad DeSantis is, he went to Guantanamo, earned the trust of the inmates claiming he was there to help, found out which tortures they hated the most and then advised for those to be increased.

    Military members who worked with him also said the man is a war criminal and they hated working with him (not to lessen the fact that the people here are criminals themselves, just to repeat that war criminals thought this guy was pretty bad).

      Reminds me of the thing where CIA agents were complaining that SEAL Team 6 were terrifying serial killer monsters whose unchecked bloodlust was an active hindrance on the ground because they would just execute everyone they got their hands on. The murderous torture freaks were put off by the sheer self-sabotaging murder lust of their spec ops goons.

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.
