      Dracula had family

      Frankenstein had family

      The Mummy had family

      Maybe his family is the creature from the Black Lagoon

    Argentina will become to South America what Israel is to the Middle East, Ukraine to Europe, and Taiwan to Asia.

    Imperialism has constructed a nation as base of operations in each of these regions. One for each region of strategic command operations:

    Southcom - Argentina

    Centcom - Israel

    Eucom - Ukraine

    Indopacom - Taiwan/SK but I think Japan will replace them

    Northcom - USA

    Africom - ? this is the only missing one

      Africom - ? this is the only missing one

      It’s Kenya, Uganda, and/or Rwanda IMHO.

      It can’t be an African country that’s part of Francafrique, and North Africa is usually lumped in together with West Asia. South Africa and Ethiopia are part of BRICS, so they’re out. The DRC is a country imperialists are plundering for its rich resources, so it’s not a base of operations either. A few African countries like Somalia (?) are under the umbrella of UAE subimperialism, so they aren’t good candidates either. Nigeria is a bit too big to fully control, and it borders Francafrique and the AES.

      Meanwhile, Kenya, Uganda, and Rwanda are all former Anglo colonies, they border/are close to the DRC, and they are all very friendly with the US. This map says a lot.

      Djibouti, Tunisia, Niger, Uganda, Kenya, Gabon, Mali, Ascension Island, Cameroon, Ghana, Burkina Faso, Libya, Senegal, Somalia, and Chad. Not including “host” bases

      They’ve also got all those other places with bases in the Middle East, like the UAE, right? Maybe Jordan or Saudi Arabia?

        Yes but I see these more as hands. Each operational command nation is a limb extending down to hands via the comprador govs and then to fingers which are the teams/squads operating within various countries. If the limb is cut off then the hands and fingers will die too.

            It’s much much easier to visualise organisational structures as a physical human body for w/e reason

            I also like the fact that this body has to be grotesque with half a dozen limbs and dozens of hands and fingers

    Elons going to “Israel”.

    The rats are leaving the ship.

    Edit: apparently Elon is NOT moving to Israel, just investing a lot in the country.

              This is the news comm, though. We don’t want to be propagating rumors or errors in reporting when we realize our own mistake. Thanks for the edit.

    My only hope is Argentina becomes such a hellpit of technocratic evil that they incur a very militant people’s revolt, because at this point it’s obvious Argentina is being turned into libertarian Rapture but with bitcoin and AI memelords

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.
