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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

There's a really chill and interesting episode of Boonta Vista on this. It's Theo Philes V Extended Edition (originally patron exclusive but it was unlocked).

It's three parts on leaded gas, arctic bases and that guy who discovered the age of the earth.

It's such a good episode. I wish they'd do some more Theo Philes (and also Godfuckers) episodes

We hate liberal institutions because they’re evil and corrupt.

Westoids hate their liberal institutions because they’re not evil and corrupt ENOUGH!

Curiosity got the better of me and I shared this to :stormfront: .

Immediately "why would bots want to discredit Harvard" and "duh, everyone benefited from slaves it's the US useless article. No I didn't read it. No I won't read about the reparations bit".

I have to believe it's a bunch of bot farms for the sake of my sanity or I'm gonna become a posadist.

“Why would the bots want to discredit Harvard!?”

Oh boo hoo, sorry for hurting the institution’s feelings.
