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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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. --
here's how burny can still win
Holy shit 
'I'm just like Lisa' does to a mfer???
As it turns out, dozens of the writers of The Itchy & Scratchy Show went to Harvard. So I asked myself the question: If The Itchy & Scratchy Show served the interests of organized crime, how would it do so?
He was (apparently) a Redditor
And a stupidpol poster on top of that. Suddenly I can see why his manifesto is so rambling and all over the place with no truely substantive theory behind it.
He posted in r/TrueAnon as well but the mods there had the good sense to ban him
This guy could've really improved his life if he just followed the Belden program instead of... whatever he was doing. One must be careful not to gumshoe too close to the sun.
Brace hastily adding "do not self-immolate" to the Rules For Life
stupidpol lmfao
I was not expecting this today, huh weird. Obligatory: do not kill yourself, kill the people who make your life bad. They have names and addresses and bleed red blood.
Utah Phillips said it best. The world isn't dying, it's being murdered, and the people killing it have names and addresses.
[T]he U.S. is a ‘secret kleptocracy’: they pretend it’s a democracy, but both parties are controlled by financial criminals whose only goal is to bleed us dry. Media plays a central role in the con: No matter our interests or political alignments, we are all flooded with messaging designed to divide the public and make us bitter, angry, apathetic, anxious, helpless, and hopeless as they intentionally make our lives worse.
...[W]e are effectively in history’s largest doomsday cult, and I’ve been watching them poor Flavor Aid the last 9 months: In order to mask the theft of trillions of dollars via cryptocurrency, our government is going to kick off one hell of a false flag attack to keep us paralyzed with fear and confusion while they orchestrate a fascist coup.
Oh yeah he was totally off his rocker. These are the propaganda-filled ramblings of an unwell mind. For sure.
Bad-faith actors are heavily manipulating the discourse across countless subreddits in order to promote divisive, partisan content, convince us we’re helpless to do anything about our crumbling society, sow bullshit conspiracy theories, and make sure you don’t find out that they’re supervillains.
Okay I have to walk back a bit, which is hard with my foot firmly planted in my mouth:
The left shouts “All Cops Are Bastards,” which ensures they’ll be hated by the police and the public (and flies in the face of leftist theory).
Alright, I've read several of his posts, and while I don't agree with all of the conclusions or reasoning, I'm definitely not writing this dude off as a nutjob. I'm could see myself making a lot of these connections given enough time and cannabis.
Another wordsmith put it best: He a little confused but he got the spirit.
Just at a glance, this is really similar in outline to a series of posts made on the Trueanon subreddit approx 1 year ago'

oh fuck it WAS the OP
https://www.reddit.com/r/TrueAnon/comments/1c86vtr/looks_like_the_guy_who_self_immolated_at_the/
He was a /r/trueanon and /r/stupidpol poster. His posts go back at least 6 months.
Holy shit it was the Rob Lowe 1988 DNC sex blackmail r/trueanon poster
At this rate we're gonna find out that it's time to start a BMF hospital fund
Pretty good manifesto. I hope the guy survives and heals and is okay and stuff. It's fucked what trying to make sense of this reality does to a motherfucker.
I hope the guy survives and heals and is okay and stuff
he's extremely dead
this dude would be alive today if he'd ever read a single book
Already seeing alt-righters online use this to drum up a new panic about The Commies. Real unfortunate. I feel bad for the guy, I hope he recovers and gets some help.
alt-righters
The right has been all the same for years now. I haven't used alt-right in 7 years - since about a week after Charlottesville. I call everything on the right - right-wingers or right-wing.
