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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

so a bunch of nations occupied by the US πŸ˜…

[–] AcidLeaves@hexbear.net 20 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago) (1 children)

It's pretty fucked though because those nations' people would totally majority willingly vote to ally with US to contain China

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 38 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Because they aren’t just occupied, they are colonized. Colonization has a component of mental and ideological domination

[–] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 12 points 6 months ago

Yup, we all must struggle internally to decolonize our own minds

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 6 months ago

lol yeah literally

[–] iByteABit@hexbear.net 30 points 6 months ago

No way it's actually called 'The Squad' cringe

[–] Brickardo@feddit.nl 29 points 6 months ago (2 children)

The squad? What are they? 7 y/os?

[–] yogthos@lemmygrad.ml 21 points 6 months ago

that certainly appears to be the peak of their intellectual development

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago

A seven year old would come up with a better name than The Squad

Like, The Demolishers or The Freedom Brigade

About to drop Atomic grade lameness.

[–] Evilphd666@hexbear.net 2 points 6 months ago

Thank you for nuking two of our cities Lord and Master. How may we help you harass our neighbors?

[–] LaGG_3@hexbear.net 21 points 6 months ago (1 children)

More like the Coalition of Cringe

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 5 points 6 months ago

Koalition of Kringe Kontainment

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 11 points 6 months ago

Liberals and coopting good will generated by progressives to push shitty neoliberalism.

Name a more iconic duo.

George: The war started because of the vile removed and his villainous empire-building.

Edmund: George, the American Empire at present covers a quarter of the globe, while the Chinese Empire consists of a single military base in Djibouti

[–] supafuzz@hexbear.net 7 points 6 months ago

China has exactly one overseas military base, who needs "containing" here

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 6 points 6 months ago

I’m willing to bet $5 that republicans will try to conflate The Squad with The Squad and accuse them of being communist double agents because it’s led by AOC
