      Don’t be silly

      She’ll build the new ‘border crossing reduction superstructure’ in front of the old ‘wall’. That way, we can admire how it is Democrat approved, built with ethically sourced materials, funded by small donors only, constructed by local, highly graded contractors, and designed to be aesthetically pleasing

    “☝️🤓 um akshually she’s saying she’d sign the ♥️✨ bipartisan border bill™✨♥️, which is merely extending the timeline to use funds already appropriated for the wall!”

    The purpose of a system is what it does fuckheads!!!

    Don’t act like your hands are tied into supporting border apartheid because of a bill that never even got through congress. If Kamala’s going to bratboss her way into the presidency and take downballot Dems into congress alongside her can’t you just make a better bill that doesn’t do this shit?

    I guess it was only un-American to get Mexico to pay for it. If the American taxpayers pay for it it’s a-OK apparently.

    It’s mind-boggling to me how fake the border is. One of the central political footballs of US domestic politics for… I don’t even know how long. As long as I’ve been alive. All the sweat, all the ink spilled, the dems constantly tacking rightwards on the issue, the untold millions of people immiserated, news cycles yammering about it endlessly. And for what? Just naked racism? Who does a “strong border” benefit, exactly? What does it even mean? Some other political bullshit, like being “Tough on Crime” or the “War on Drugs” I can see the twisted logic where you could convince regular Americans that those things were good for them. The only cogent logic I’ve ever heard about the border is that, apparently, back when Labor was strong they wanted strict controls on the border and immigration because they feared employers would replace them with slaves. Not that I agree with that, but I can see a logic at work there.

    I suppose I could see where somebody who doesn’t know that cartels aren’t real could buy that the intersection of the war on drugs and the southern border represents some legitimate threat to their safety. But I’m pretty sure I read once that most drugs come in on boats and planes and commercial trucks (and is being done so at the behest of state apparatuses i.e. CIA, cops, DEA, etc.).

    I could see where, if you gave a shit about illegal border crossers and lived in a border state then that would be a humanitarian crisis, but that’s never what the news or the politicos are talking about when they talk about the border.

    It’s like in America we talk in a nonsense language about made up bullshit that then translates into the mass deprivation of huge swathes of humanity. Of course most of the common political talking points in this country are bullshit, but the border in particular seems almost entirely abstract in terms of the rhetoric surrounding it.

    It’s frustrating how many libs act like voting Kamala will mean less deportations. This is a case where both candidates are the same.

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.
