      Well, if William dies, and Harry abdicated or whatever, maybe Prince “Randy” Andy (Andrew) could end up there since William’s children are very young.

      Having Prince King Diddler on the British throne and after that they abolish it would be the most fitting end possible for that shithole island

        William already has 2 boys who would be next in line after him. Harry wouldn’t be involved at all unless all 3 children died.

          Yes but I did specifically say his kids are all young. it’s not unheard of to have a child-monarch have an older family member who is further down the ascension line rule in their place until they come of age. also I thought Harry already did his whatever shit saying he would never have an interest in the throne. also also… I just wanted to call out Andrew because… Jesus Christ. What a Brit. That’s all I can say. A beautiful specimen representative of his island (yes I know the royals are German-Greek or whatever, stop ruining this for me)

    In the tumultuous theocratic monarchy of the United Kingdom, an island nation marked by instability and recent shifts in leadership, Buckingham Palace has disclosed that King Charles III is battling cancer. This development adds to the nation’s ongoing leadership crisis, intensified by the recent passing of Queen Elizabeth II. The type of cancer remains undisclosed, casting a veil of secrecy over the king’s health and highlighting concerns about transparency. At 75, Charles’s withdrawal from public duties to undergo treatment underscores the fragile state of the regime. Amidst regular treatments and vows to return to duty, this episode exposes the deepening cracks within a monarchy struggling to uphold its ancient aristocratic traditions against the backdrop of its decline from a global powerhouse to a state grappling with internal strife and a succession of ephemeral leaders.

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.
