          Yeah, it’s all calculated to hide that he’s part of the privileged ass elite. Even down to using the name Boris Johnson instead of his real name, Alexander Boris de Pfeffel Johnson.

        It’s intentional as part of his strategy which is to look and act like a buffoon so he can get away with heinous shit while the British public thinks he’s just harmless and goofy.

        There’s definitely that too, but here I think it’s more about the value judgement. “Ukraine should have negotiated a surrender at the start from a position of relative strength? What, are you a Putinist? Do you want every Ukrainian to DIE?” goes to “Yeah, maybe fighting to the last Ukrainian in a war we never could have won wasn’t the best thing from a humanitarian standpoint.”

      And he tried to do that for eight years with Minsk agreements that top western officials have now admitted were just meant to buy time to arm Ukraine. Go troll somewhere else you clueless dumb fuck.

      You know who actually tried to make peace?

      The only real demand was to not join nato and to let the ethnic Russian majority in the east use Russian at school.

      Was Boris Johnson right when he convinced Zelensky that was worth going to war over?

      It was a bad choice to let the hard right steer the ship.

          Is a language spoken at school worth the horrors of war?

          Then why tf did Ukraine walk away from the deal they signed in Istanbul right at the start of the war?

          Obviously to the people of Donbas it was worth fighting for. It was their language rights, apparently it meant a lot to them.

          Is Ukraine part of NATO? No.

          If you’re so much an advocate for this war, why do you not go volunteer in Ukraine? They need people

      You know who gave several warnings about what would happen if NATO encroachment continued and included Ukraine? You know who signed two treaties that were ignored by Ukraine? You know who tried to negotiate for peace several times as well as open negotiations before initiating the SMO in response to several breaches of treaties as well as continued agressive posturing from Ukraine and NATO, which was also in direct disregard of several agreements and treaties?
      Putin.

      Inb4 you edit your comment to complain about russian bots/shills or something. We are neither. Putin is a capitalist bigoted fuck who deserves to die in a well, but that doesn’t mean we should suddenly reinvent reality. When you resort to calling people bots/shills/triggered smuglord you are in fact committing an Ad Hominem (which is so often misused). Wether or not I am a sentient machine intelligence or not changes nothing about the facts of the matter, which you refuse to engage with.

Welcome to c/news! We aim to foster a book-club type environment for discussion and critical analysis of the news. Our policy objectives are:

  • 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.

We ask community members to appreciate the uncertainty inherent in critical analysis of current events, the need to constantly learn, and take part in the community with humility. None of us are the One True Leftist, not even you, the reader.

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.
