    crazy how there is only one political opinion in the entire United States federal government on this issue, which is “yes, I eagerly support genocide”

    like look at this shit, there are over 400 representatives and every single one of them agrees on this issue: https://www.congress.gov/bill/118th-congress/house-resolution/888/all-actions?overview=closed&q={"roll-call-vote"%3A"all"}

    tlaib was the lone ‘present’ and a republican voted no lmao

    and yet it’s sooooooooooooo important to vote so that my views are represented!!!

      “There is no genocide, but we still eagerly support it, and they deserve it”

        At most you can say their lobbyist have massive influence on this issue.

          their lobbyist have massive influence on this issue.

          And i would say this also is the fault of US. It’s the ages old money laundering and funnel scheme where US politicians can’t just openly steal the budget money so they funnel it to Israel and some of the money get back to them through AIPAC as laundered donations. Only difference is that this is doubly illegal in most other countries in the world but perfectly ok in USA (also note that it isn’t the main reason for the staunch support for Israel, they would do it even for free, but a lucrative side grift and adds personal incentive to class interests).

        “Israel” does exert influence but American bourgeoisie is the dominant partner in the relationship

        America is a partner in this genocide because it views “Israel” as a key pillar of US hegemony

        israel truly truly runs america. how can anybody deny this reality? when presented with all the facts what other conclusion is there to come to?

        This is like saying Azerbijan runs Turkey. You can say this has “nothing to do with Judaism” but that is were this train of thought has to go if you seriously think that this is a separate thing.

    Wow, she briefly sounded like she maybe wasn’t completely denying the genocide she’s helping to perpetrate and the campaign had to walk that back.

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CDdt9QfC68U

    Today the Youtuber BadEmpanda released a video titled “Genocide: The Dumbest Crime (Why There’s No Bosnian Genocide)” and the premise is more or less that having the technical classification of Genocide often has been used to take away from discussion of the actual atrocities and instead debate whether something is technically Genocide or not. And obviously any reasonable person would consider this a Genocide, but it did make me think of how ridiculous something like Kamala talking about her opinion on whether killing at the very absolute minimum 40,000 people fits a definition instead of having to justify why she supports the deaths of 40,000 people.

    Holy shit the video at the end. I rarely hear these people speak as I really just prefer not to. So uh, y’all weren’t lying when you said they speak like we are the good guys in a marvel movie. How do libs take this shit seriously when the shallowness and hypocricy of their words is so blatant?

          if she squeaks out a win it’ll be excruciating to hear her condescend to everyone for four years

  • To learn about and discuss meaningful news, analysis and perspectives from around the world, with a focus on news outside the Anglosphere and beyond what is normally seen in corporate media (e.g. anti-imperialist, anti-Zionist, Marxist, Indigenous, LGBTQ, people of colour).

  • To encourage community members to contribute commentary and for others to thoughtfully engage with this material.

  • To support healthy and good faith discussion as comrades, sharpening our analytical skills and helping one another better understand geopolitics.

Newcomm and Newsmega Rules:

The Hexbear Code of Conduct and Terms of Service apply here.

  1. Link titles: Please use informative link titles. Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed.

  2. Content warnings: Posts on the newscomm and top-level replies on the newsmega should use content warnings appropriately. Please be thoughtful about wording and triggers when describing awful things in post titles.

  3. Fake news: No fake news posts ever, including April 1st. Deliberate fake news posting is a bannable offense. If you mistakenly post fake news the mod team may ask you to delete/modify the post or we may delete it ourselves.

  4. Link sources: 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 the Xcancel.com (or another Nitter instance) or at least strip out identifier information from the twitter link. There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance, such as Libredirect or archive them as you would any other reactionary source.

  5. Archive sites: We highly encourage use of non-paywalled archive sites (i.e. archive.is, web.archive.org, ghostarchive.org) so that links are widely accessible to the community and so that reactionary sources don’t derive data/ad revenue from Hexbear users. If you see a link without an archive link, please archive it yourself and add it to the thread, ask the OP to fix it, or report to mods. Including text of articles in threads is welcome.

  6. Low effort material: Avoid memes/jokes/shitposts in newscomm posts and top-level replies to the newsmega. This kind of content is OK in post replies and in newsmega sub-threads. We encourage the community to balance their contribution of low effort material with effort posts, links to real news/analysis, and meaningful engagement with material posted in the community.

  7. American politics: Discussion and effort posts on the (potential) material impacts of American electoral politics is welcome, but the never-ending circus of American Politics© Brought to You by Mountain Dew™ is not welcome. This refers to polling, pundit reactions, electoral horse races, rumors of who might run, etc.

  8. Electoralism: Please try to avoid struggle sessions about the value of voting/taking part in the electoral system in the West. c/electoralism is right over there.

  9. AI Slop: Don’t post AI generated content. Posts about AI race/chip wars/data centers are fine.
