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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

THIS IS NOT A REAL HEADLINE, THIS IS A BUNCH OF HEXBEAR BITS COBBLED TOGETHER FOR A LAUGH. I REFUSE TO BELIEVE MY LYING EYES OTHERWISE

Who the fuck believes this shit

[–] [email protected] 21 points 8 months ago

Literally most people. Not sure how to get past that tbh

I believe this means the US developed fentanyl-based weapons for some reason and needs to blame Iran for doing it first.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago

Don't know if you were alive for the Iraq War, but way too many people I'm sure.

Another day at the consent factory. Are they doing "WMDs" again? Has this show up anywhere else?

Iran may have

there are reports that pro-Iranian militias in Iraq may have

evidence suggests Iran is

Israel feared that Hezbollah would

This article is based on another written by Matthew Levitt for the Combatting Terrorism Center at West Point (Tehran’s Tactical Knockout: Weaponized Pharmaceutical-Based Agents), is it possible there is a bias?

Just like chuds harping on about how deadly fentanyl is so police need to shoot drug dealers, this sounds like an excellent angle to make up to generate support for a war against Iran.

These articles exist to form word association between one hated thing and a geopolitical rival. Super effective on anyone who lost loved ones to fent

[–] [email protected] 19 points 8 months ago (1 children)

They're just trying to game the algorithm.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

Trying to build a new WMDs excuse because they know Iran doesn't have a nuke.

Average fentanyl fan the-pigs

Average fentanyl enjoyer gigachad

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

Please Khamenei, hit me with the fentanyl nuke

[–] [email protected] 18 points 8 months ago

If I were killed by one of these I couldn't even be mad. Just fade away blasted as hell knowing Iran is kicking Amerikkkas ass sounds like a vibe to me.

Iran isn't stupid enough to try and use fent as a bio-weapon. I don't think the writer even knows what the fuck it is. I smell that shit every other day at work. It's nasty and makes my respiratory system want to expel everything inside, but outside of a small enclosed area like a bathroom, it's not gonna do anything.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

i mean you can pump a shitton through a building's ventilation system but i sure hope if Iran has cooked up a version of that, it works better. "bio-weapon" would be a perfectly orwellian description though, right? developing this thing to try to kill less people in hostage situations-->weapons of mass destruction

e: also you're allowed to use chemical weapons just not against a uniformed legal combatant under the geneva conventions, @ tear gas

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

They don't have to, cops od on fent if they suspect they see white powder (or if they want some time off without using their pto)

[–] [email protected] 16 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 15 points 8 months ago

dont sound like a problem to me

Breaking: Iranian scientists have developed multiclassing thus allowing soldiers to use poison attacks

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

least obvious western propaganda

Death to America

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

i like how they also made it entirely about palestine

[–] [email protected] 8 points 8 months ago

Poorly sourced fearmongering “news” headlines. If only there were a comm for this.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago

If I had to die, I would prefer to do it high on fent tbh, so thanks Iran.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I swear we had a joke post about this last week

[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago
[–] [email protected] 6 points 8 months ago

I heard that Iran has laced the paychecks of us cops with fent, spread the word

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

no more half measures walter

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

I swear there was a cop show that had fent penetrate the skin years ago. I think blue bloods or something. i-cant

We need to stop Iraq from using its wmds like they tried to do during 911.
