news
Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.
Rules:
-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --
-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --
-- 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 not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --
-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--
-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--
-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --
-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

One last thing: Where does the "vice" label come from anyway? Why are some activities labeled "vices" and others are not? I have a feeling there's a religious component behind this. I hate that religion has made so many people poke and prod into other people's personal lives. It's none of your business what's in my pants, or how I dress, or what I want to do in my free time. I'm sick and tired of Christians and other religious types always trying to force their lifestyle on me! Leave me alone, and I'll leave you alone.
I'm no longer convinced you're even a leftist. You sound a lot more like a South Park libertarian that wants unlimited and unfettered access to treats and takes a paradoxically sanctimonious idealistic moral stance against any attempt to improve society somewhat or reduce human suffering if it even slightly inconveniences you.
I don't think you even belong here and you should get the fuck out and find a Reddit community that will congratulate you for your very brave "fuck you, got mine" positions on the issues.
