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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

High Priestess Nerra Chelsea of Church of Hillatology (a post collapse cult in the ruins of the US Imperium's political capital of Washington D.C.) says all of humanity was doomed by Hillary Clinton's loss in the 2008 Democratic Primary to an obscure late Imperium figurehead named Barack Obama. None of the surviving primary sources, or subsequent histories of the era available provide any context that might shed light on this deeply held belief of the cult.
While there have been attempts to rehabilitate and assimilate Hillatologists and members of other post-collapse cults, they largely seem to prefer the confines of the exclusion zone, violently fending off attempts to provide hunanitarian aid. They seem particularly violent and aggressive toward attempts by volunteer Cuban physicians to provide free healthcare. Their screams of "How are you going to pay for that?" confound volunteers, and perplex researches.
"We may never understand the meaning behind their obscure beliefs and seemingly nonsensical chants." An authority on post-collapse cults told us. "Something has been lost."
