    And I am sure CNN reacted to this appropriately and not with the casual dismissal or focus on the norms being broken

    “I’m going to put Marco over there” is a threat in any context but this is just ridiculous

      We’re going to drop him in folks. We’re going to drop him into Cuba out of a helicopter with no parachute. They will say “thank you president trump” and I will say “you’re welcome.”

        I used to call him Lil Marco, folks, but now I’m gonna call him Wet Spot Marco. He yearns to be one with the Cuban soil, and we’re gonna make that happen for him. We’re gonna make it happen. No parachute.

    I told him “Marco, you’re going to Cuba. You will get to take Cuba. Free Cuba Marco”. We will give him a gun and parachute and drop him in Cuba. He can finally fulfill his dream of freeing Cuba.

      America has great power in selling a narrative and polluting minds. Hollywood and its bullshit has been a really powerful asset for the Americans.

        For sure Hollywood has played a huge role.

        1. The desensitisation of war and violence.
        2. Celebrity worship. Politicians are treated like celebrities and when they do evil things, it’s treated like an episode of Entertainment Tonight.
        3. The fiction of the American saviour (e.g. Superheroes and all those damn apocalypse movies where the USA saves the world).

    This godforsaken region is doomed if Cuba falls and confirms my belief that our settler-colonial roots are what’s keeping us from our potential.

    The region is weak against the us military, true, but so many things could be done as a form of solidarity and instead the majority would rather continue to worship the US and get brainwashed by their evangelicals.

    There’s potential in the region but not enough compared to places like Asia or Africa.

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.
