Hexbear: why do so many people want to degenerate with us
Also hexbear: Spams every complaint in other instances with unrelated images
They are so eager to prove themselves the assholes that people accuse them of being, and then they whine and cry about instances defederating from them.
I'm pretty sure the whole thing is a false flag/astroturf to discredit sincere leftist discourse. It seems a lot like a blend of bad leftist parody, and edgy 14-year-olds who fell for it
Sounds like r/chapotraphouse in a nutshell.
Also, I think TheDude was underselling why they were originally banned on Reddit. They were the left-wing version of r/TheDonald. The reason he listed was just the excuse Reddit used to justify kicking them off the platform
what the fuck does that even mean, "left wing version of /r/TheDonald"
like the donald but believing the exact opposite things?
Yes. I don't get how you're confused by that
that's stupid, then, why would you bother to make a comment like that. Who gives a shit?
r/The_Donald was known for being a toxic cesspool that often went out to harass other subs. r/chapotraphouse did the same thing, they were just on the other side of the political spectrum. The rest of Reddit hated both because they were full of toxic brigading assholes, and if you can't understand that then you're beyond hope
Thinking people who disagree with you politically are bots or paid posters isn’t a healthy mindset to have.
I think they're bots because I nearly exactly agree with them politically. They're almost exactly my beliefs, but with the most annoying, self-righteous, groupthink presentation possible. That's why I think they're a false flag smear campaign to discredit actual leftists.
Hexbears should be sent to the gulag for being cringe
Make posting cringe a crime
Consider the self-flattery of assuming a community that existed in isolation for three years just to eventually make you look bad when they became federated again.
Maybe there is a real disagreement instead?
Then how come the interactions have been predominantly self-righteous name-calling? My issue isn't with the political ideals, it's with the presumptuous antagonism.
I don’t think you’re actually a communist. Not a real one at least.
See? This is exactly what I'm talking about. "Anyone who doesn't believe exactly the same as me for exactly the same reasons with exactly the same presentation as me is a transphobic boot-licking liberal!"
You've had no political discourse with me by which to evaluate my political beliefs, but disagreeing with hexbear specifically is enough for you to assume I'm not a "real" communist. You see how this just proves my point, right?
I thought thinking people who disagree with you politically weren't real communists wasn't a healthy mindset to have?
I doubt we agree of much. You reek of anarcho-natoism.
Hey look, another hexbear making baseless and incorrect assumptions about my political inclinations, even further proving my point! Keep your corporate shill false flag disinfo to yourself, please and thank you.
This comment is the most "reddit liberal seeing real difference of opinion for the first time" thing I have ever seen.
Why is it hard to believe or understand that this, right here and now on lemmy, really is most westerners' first time interacting with actual communists? A lot of us dems are pretty open minded and a lot of us want the US to move toward socialism. But most of our exposure to communism has just been "communism bad." So of course we don't understand the fuller spectrum of leftism, because our fascist conservative party has forced everything so far to the right, and our education system is abysmal.
Then we come here and see a bunch of "stupid libs" memes, which from the outside we can't understand because we identify as liberals (leftists). You folks give off the same vibe of how our fascist conservatives treat us (own the libs, kill a dem to save America, etc), and I think thats why people assume or equate you with Nazis. We've never met real communists, and a lot of stuff on the internet is fake. It's entirely understandable.
