because its not really the genocide they care about, its that hitler went after europeans instead of the rest of the world, curious they never seem to disavow the flag of the UK for instance
are NASA astronauts part of the military? i'd just take my chances with a jury as long as i couldnt be court-martialed tbh
except for Biden for some reason
biden is catholic
if it gets desperate theyll probably just do like that one west virginian town who begged for a bridge from the ussr to get the US to act, they'll send some desperate appeal to china who will start pretending like they'll devise a rescue mission which will get the US off its ass
im more so just confused about what is being communicated, it would be disappointing but not really surprising that they managed to suddenly close such a gap but i wasnt sure what kind of missile had been developed in this case
so they jumped from not being able to do hypersonic weapons at all to matching the oreshnik? or is it matching russia's hypersonic cruise missiles?
Potential counteroffensive somewhere
seen some speculation about this in r/ukrainerussiareport from some of the professed neutral users, seems kinda crazy that they would be holding back enough brigades to form a counteroffensive while they get their shit pushed in all along most of the front line, then again kursk seems crazy too
i see, thank you
good comment by @MarmiteLover123@hexbear.net here https://hexbear.net/comment/5737519 . would really emphasize that we are anti-west as a default here
i would try and emphasize that we like to elevate non US news (not that US news isnt allowed, but we just try and encourage non US news to be posted)
news mega is a little less "comfy" than the rest of the site. people are more likely to argue (politely) with you about your interpretation of an event (or even question the sources you are posting, even if you post with no personal analysis). make sure they know they can report people who are being too aggressive, and make sure they know about the disengage rule (make sure to make it clear you can't use it to get in the last word, you can only post "disengage" or "please stop talking to me", something like that, anything more isnt allowed)
try and keep top level comments on topic. speculation/analysis about world events allowed, but throwaway jokes are discouraged. any reply is not under the same scrutiny
in a related note, make sure you post your sources, or make it clear you're speculating without sources. archive sources like archive.org or archive.is are greatly appreciated, especially when linking to reactionary or paywalled sources. for twitter links we support xcancel over nitter.poast
i mean yeah for sure i was more explaining why i personally didnt recognize you lol
oh god what have i done i actually probably will get confused if you do that, takes me a second to like recognize largepenis's comments now lol
i recognize avatars more than names, i think. probably has to do with humans (usually) being really good at recognizing faces lol
(on a more serious note I honestly didnt recognize your name either, the site really is just big enough that if you only mostly hang out in one place like the news mega you're not going to recognize most people if they're not also frequently posting in the same place)
you being on a 4 year old account makes this interaction so much funnier lol
sorry if this goes over the line of "no struggle session posting" but very funny that people are freaking out that hexbear is going to die due to mod overreach and then like 2 days later we get a bunch of new users because of the strict reputation of the mods lol
ig this means those stories of israeli special forces going in to blow them up are bs?
meta comment but I think with such a huge influx of new users from bluesky it might be a good idea to have a pinned comment talking about what the news mega is for a little while
especially if it's coming from an account who posts alot about dedollarization (you know who you are)
dunno if there was a news mega comment about it but here's a post about it https://hexbear.net/post/4092081
one of the commenters said there's been no confirmation though
aww are they still mad they're not allowed to use slurs here on hexbear?
