This website is not a threat to capital. This response is frankly ridiculous.
Of course not, but you don't have to be a threat to capital for some dork with a grudge to get your house swatted or whatever. I can understand peoples aversion to fedposting.
Settler take frankly. It doesn't fuckin matter whether or not this forum is a "threat to capital"; the FBI is a murderous gang of settlers known to put HELLA subjects of empire in the ground for breathing the wrong way in this hellscape of a country. But you're fine with just rolling the dice on that?????? I'm sure as shit not.
I am from a country you invaded
I did not have "Frauddogg self-destructs after calling someone from the global south a settler and then attempting to excuse having served in the US military" on my 2025 Bingo card.
"Everybody is a settler cracker unless proven otherwise" is bound to run into some friendly fire eventually.
Why someone would do that while also having served in the imperial death machine on a site with a sizeable portion of non-American posters is beyond me.
And I'm a subject-of-empire to it; and? You want to get huffy at someone for that, then get huffy at the crackers; don't fuckin start with me. For someone who lived through an Amerikan invasion, you sure as shit don't seem to know fuckall about who the FBI will and won't target, so how about you zip your shit unless you wanna walk that walk and do that research.
How about you shut the fuck up considering you were a volunteer soldier in the fascist army?
Was frauddog in the U$ military? Comments are deleted so I cant tell
Yeah, frauddogg discussed it a couple of times.
^ This is in reference to the account deletion.
If you'd listened to anything I said about that time, you'd know I was poached from a high school at the age of sixteen. Suck my dick; you know nothing about which you talk. I wouldn't organize where I do and with who I do if not for trying to do what I can to make up for being fucking groomed.
Fuck outta here. I guess I'm just NOT SUPPOSED TO CLIQUE UP with formations against SOUTHCOM and AFRICOM. I'm just supposed to stay out of it, fake the funk like I'm just a darker-skinned settler for your comfort, so you can run your fucking mouth sans investigation.
Typical yankee painting themselves as the victim when they sign up to murder foreigners
...So that's how we treat victims of grooming, huh? Some fucking left.
You got all the empathy in the world for CSA victims, forremoved victims; but can't get past-- y'know what. It doesn't matter. You're right! I'm just some volunteer fascist I guess. Have fun being 'technically' correct. I guess people just don't get to change, don't get to try and rectify their pasts. It's cool. Cool, cool, cool.
CSA VICTIMS DIDN'T KILL HALF MY FUCKING FAMILY
You're being ridiculous lmao
Don't start with me, plague rat. I remember you, you were the FOURTH ONE on my blocklist for the anti-masking bullshit thread; a mf like you ain't making me crash out on the first of the fuckin year. "I'm a public facing member of an org" motherfucker and? Probably a settler-left formation that fronts like it cares about the plight of this country's subjects of empire, tuh.
I mopped the fucking floor at the Nation of Islam's local meeting hall
5hen let's just all post with our real names
Do you think if the US government wanted to link us to our Hexbear usernames they’d struggle with that? Opsec on here is much more about not getting doxxed and harassed by weird right wingers. If the FBI wants to find me it won’t be very difficult.
I don't think people here have a good sense of just how invasive and all-consuming digital surveillance goes. The server that hosts this site is likely rented from a data center that could be yanked and data mined by any federal agency with a warrant and 30 seconds of notice, the traffic all routes through NSA blackbox sites, and there's a nonzero chance the device anyone uses to browse here is phoning traffic home to the feds anyway (thanks Google!).
If you're concerned about feds knowing you shitpost here, then you shouldn't be shitposting here. A FOIA request isn't putting anyone here on anyone's radar that wasn't already there.
Fucking thank you!!! As a sex worker, I know my hooker alias is linked to my government name in a federal law enforcement database and that governments use facial recognition technology to detain sex workers at international borders. We have anecdotal evidence of this happening for at least the past 6 years. If you’re a leftist who has done any fedposting at all without using op sec that borders on clinical paranoia, you should assume you’re on a list. Knowing you’re on a list doesn’t mean you should throw all caution to the wind, but people should know that you are never really anonymous online and behave accordingly.
The feds will show up at your house with printouts of your social media fedposts.
I'm a public-facing member of an org. Everyone else in this website would be too if they weren't cowards.
I'm not going to post my name on the Internet because any groyper with a VPN could mail a pipe bomb to my apartment. But if you haven't gone to your local county/city council and told your local sheriff/police commissioner "My name is [Drew] and I am a Communist, I believe you should be fired and your job abolished", you're a liberal.
watch out, we got a badass here
This is a completely fair response and I think I was overly broad with my original comment. For what it's worth, I don't believe I'm a badass, I'm a joke of an organizer - I'm just speaking from the perspective of someone active in the scene. And left-wing security culture has by far been more of a detriment to organization locally than a boon.
If someone doesn't have the time, energy, or inclination to do organizing work IRL I think that's totally fine. Everyone has the right to enjoy their personal time how they see fit, and that may include posting on a niche left-wing Internet forum; and not everyone is in a good place in their life to do organizing work.
What bugs me is clowns on the Internet spreading self-defeating paranoia-induced "privacy best practices". Read any modern work of theory; hell, listen to a shitty leftist podcast; and they'll tell you that the most effective weapon the Capitalist class has is not shooting you with a gun or putting you in jail; it's the chilling effect on speech that their threats engender.
It is asinine to consider filing a FOIA request on Hexbear a serious mistake.
Yeah I don't disagree people should be organizing in person I just thought posing it as cowardice to not do so was a little bit over the top. I'm neutral on whether FOIA-ing this silly shitposting website was bad or good.
Thank you for calling me out and keeping me honest; I think we're basically on the same wavelength
The more I get involved with my org the more I agree with the take
That's kind of the point. We have to watch out because sometimes the opportunity comes along and you find yourself pulled into a local action group and suddenly you're "a badass" because you're helping a bunch of boomers fight a multimillionaire capitalist known for sending violent men to the houses of the people who stand up to them and their projects.
Not me of course I'm just a harmless liberal.
Those things are not remotely comparable.
