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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

Mercs get merc’ed
critical support to the foreign fash for removing some of our fash
Wow, color me surprised that people willing to go and fight in a conflict that doesn't have any bearing on them personally might be bloodthirsty!
I think in this instance the mercs were more bloodquenching than bloodthirsty
Naive moron brits go and join groups full of literal actual full blown nazis then find out that disagreeing with them over anything in a warzone gets you killed.
I'd almost feel sorry for them if I didn't know they've destroyed lives elsewhere they've been.
I won’t die in the war. That only happens to other people.
fucking dies
the physical impossibility of death in the mind of a living ~~person~~ Fash
lol
before setting up his own volunteer unit in Ukraine, the Dark Angels.
Warhammer reference or just intersectionality of fash naming conventions?
Probably both knowing a lot of 40K chuds
the Dark Angels.
:FranzAreWeTheBaddies:
Imagine going to fight in a volunteer Legion that's almost certainly full of war loving psychopaths. What happened to the reddit battalion is the best case scenario for these people.
Getting vaporized by a thermobaric missile?
Compared to enduring whatever combination of 4chan-derived torture death and third-rate nazi villain monologues and/or epic keks they were surely getting in
Lol. Lmao, even.
get got
such a pity! 
Critical support
The first thing I thought when I saw that headline was "loot drop" and sure enough the only photo of a guy over there had him wearing $300 Crye pants and a loaded plate carrier. Man had an £8k stipend too, no wonder it didn't sit right with the rest of his squad lol
fascists and criminals killing each other? no way!
Rip bozo
Also, is there a non-paywalled link? I’m not very tech savvy so I don’t know how to get around it myself
most of the time you can bypass news paywalls by disabling javascript on that page
firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/disable-javascript/
chrome: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/disable-javascript/jfpdlihdedhlmhlbgooailmfhahieoem
opera: https://addons.opera.com/en/extensions/details/javascript-toggle-on-and-off/
Is there an option for mobile? I’m usually reading hexbear on my phone at work and would prefer not to have the history on my work computer
You can install add-ons for mobile browsers the same way you do for normal browsers. If you're using Safari (on iPhone) you may need to install firefox or something first.
Another thing that often works is going into reader mode and then refreshing from there. The reader mode icon should be in your URL bar and turn the webpage into just text.
Damn I can't believe the rag tag far right militia Ukraine organised in a super half assed way turned out to be ill disclipined and full of cut throats.
My favorite genre of Ukraine war propaganda is the neverending parade of sob story articles about mercenaries signing up to fight in a war and dying. Only Russia kills people in wars.
Imagine throwing your life away for nato, of all fucking things
i hope they did cannibalism, itd be funny
Hahahahahahahahahaaaaaaaaaaa
