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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --

You want to see “tyranny of the majority”? Because this is tyranny of the majority.

Do scientific institutions confirm that so-called “undesirables” are actually ok? They do? Then they should be given equal rights no matter how unpopular it is.

Wouldn't this be the tyranny of the minority? Since these positions are minority positions?

Sadly I believe a majority of Americans are fascist as fuck. Without places like this I would feel very lonely living here.

They are, but most still support gay marriage. Trans people are the queer issue the majority are against

I think I need to take some time away. The news is putting me in a depressive spiral again. I'm so tired of all this 💔 sadness

It's good for you once in a while. I've recently started making it a habit when I start to feel the dread climbing up inside me
