That’s just what happens when you’re on here long enough, you get used to it.
What’s toxic is the sheer amount of your disagreement. You’ll come back to days old arguments where the offending parties already gotten banned and you’ll needlessly tack on nonsense. Again, Mods enforcing rules is not some sort of special tyranny that’s oppressing you, get over yourself.
You don’t seem to think very much before you type anymore
Our struggle sessions were about much more than that, and pretending they weren’t is deeply misleading.
You’re lying to try to prove a point, a pathetic one, about how a site has changed after four years. Like some sort of old geezer bemoaning about how “things aren’t like they were back in my day” while conveniently leaving out all the shitty parts that conveniently never affected you.
Drop this, it’s pathetic
This isn’t me BTW
But fucking preach, REgon you need to calm the fuck down about this and stop peddling deranged nonsense. This isn’t the posting trenches, you don’t need to turn your terminally online debate bro habits against the site because you’re bored.
I’m sorry regon but it’s been more than 4 years since this started. Even without the purges most of the OGs would still be gone by now due to just drifting away. Youre trying to make gold out of straw.
The idea that this is the worst hexbear has been is just fucking insane to me. Really, not even with the fucking insanity of federation having actual fascists scare off minorities? Even further back during the transphobia purge or vegan struggle sessions?
I think you’re just being extra cause you salty the mods don’t give a shit about your mid opinions.
Just hexbear things, happens a lot
God if one person could bring this site to its knees it would be that one
It is kind of hard, I like many people on here. Some are close friends. But I just try not to take it seriously and move on.
Easily goes to @thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net for all the incredible megathreads over longest while, as well as my own personal interest in battlrs for indigenous sovereignty. Tied for it is @SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net and the legendary work they’ve done in the news megathread. Yall are some of the smartest people I know and I genuinely trust yall like a liberal trusts CNN.
Easily @frauddogg@hexbear.net as null has gone on a path of fighting the great white brainworm of white supremacy and seem to be winning. Easily would rip a liberal to shreds and have them repeating nonsense and calling void a tankie within a few replies.
Also a close second for @yogthos@lemmygrad.ml because they’ve made a name for themselves already and probably is the greatest fear of all lemmy libs.
This one’s hard so I’ll do a few @AshenWolf@hexbear.net, @kristina@hexbear.net @sweet_pecan@hexbear.net, and @corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net for most comradely. Ashenwolf for her work in the trans comm and the trachat. Kristina for her IRL praxis. Pecan as a stable rock of good takes and steadfast protection of the EMpoc. And corgi because they are the best.
@Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net but seriously I think they’re one of my favorite, and practically as much a part of hexbear as the name itself. Touch grass everyone but never stop posting dirt owl.
the comment section is actually quite radical, lots of ‘fuck the democrats form a third party’ and other opinions not out of place on hexbear
i hate twilight because its worshiping abusive relationship dynamics and written by a white mormon woman
There’s an important distinction between someone with pedophilia and a child molester
uh excuse me what the fuck
they deserved it lol
Inceldom is primarily a maladaptive attitude driven by pain and alienation, and while that shouldn’t preempt people expressing how incel behavior harms them we should still remember it as pretext for its existence. I was incel-adjacent as a young teen and what kept me from going full blown alt-right PragerU gamergate was compassion from others and the opportunity to grow as a person.
my contro take, is that this is a shit take that you should have this comment removed for and a temp ban
this is the best opinion here
Trotskyists should be banned from leftist unity, their prevalence in the west is only due to them being the least threatening and effective form of marxism so therefore the least discriminated. Trotsky did not have many good takes and flip flopped on most of them just to side with any opposition because he was a grifter. Calling him a Bolshevik is an insult to Bolsheviks. Anyone could organize the Red Army, just because he was assigned to it doesn’t mean he gets a pass on being the most annoying leftist until bordiga.
dengism should be applied only to the nations that had adopted it already, but nowhere else. It was a costly concession to the capitalists in order to avoid capitalist overthrow and encirclement. Such concessions are no longer necessary as the west is receding in power and countries are more likely to trade with ones with planned economies in the name of multipolarity. China’s now reaching the end of its usefulness with market socialism and will be entirely unprepared for the inevitable hot/cold war with the west over taiwan, south korea, or other regional conflict the west will generate unless they adopt a more anti capitalist or state capitalist system. They rely far too much on foreign trade that a war near their shores would be quite devastating. The belt and road will help this of course but is vulnerable to those countries apart of it being overthrown by western backed coups (pakistan). But i think china is definitely capable of making this transition, unlike others who stupidly regard china as just like any other capitalist country.
Religion is an inherently reactionary institution, and if communism gains power in a nation with large religious institutions it needs to work hard to weaken them. Cooperate if you must for a time in order to not actively push them into agitation, but they will never be friends and have historically been easily used by capitalists for infiltration and overthrow. Religion tied to heritage, like judaism and hinduism is another matter and im unequipped to have a real position on it so i wont include those in this. Spiritualism as well.
religious socialism should be a method of crushing religion and bringing about socialism, and is not actually possible. Not to say we should be vulgar in our hatred as thats stupid. Just recognize in the context of a socialist nation religion is an enemy force.
freedom of debate, unity of action needs more debates after the unity of action because choosing the wrong way is devastating if you never correct it.
This is just hexbear at heart, doing what it loves: arguing with itself
