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-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--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

i'm taking crazy pills? that his references are from "hell divers", a game that is apparently just clone of V's Starship Troopers, a liberal satire of fascism, is evidence that the kid is not a liberal?

what the fuck are we talking about?

[–] Clippy@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago (1 children)

satire of fascism is not really understood by fascists.

fascists elements have adopted anti fascist works such as "tomorrow belongs to me".

warhammer 40k which iirc started by punks and is a satire exaggeration of fascist themes, is well loved by reactionaries/fascist elements

  1. It's not that they don't understand, a lot of them understand exactly what the intended meaning is. But a lot of that media portrays fascists as powerful, with aesthetics that they like, and often they are winning too, so they pretend that the message is pro-fascist. If you call them out for "missing the point" or being media illiterate, you're the one who's missing the point, because now you're the one saying that the things that are cool, good looking, and winning, are actually bad. In their words, "When the media literacy kicks in and the giant man eating bugs are the good guys" i.e. the 'correct' interpretation of the media is aesthetically inferior to the fascist one, which is straightforward and self-evident.
  2. A lot of fascists like doing X ≠ People who do X are fascist.

hmm thanks for the write up, you are correct - my words were poorly put together

[–] Jabril@hexbear.net 16 points 3 days ago

He said not a leftist, everyone here know he's is a liberal of either blue or red flavor

[–] adultswim_antifa@hexbear.net 14 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Not really defending the groyper theory here, but the right wing brain is famously incapable of understanding satire.

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 9 points 3 days ago

at a certain point it wraps back around to understanding it and embracing its aesthetics anyway

[–] RedWizard@hexbear.net 6 points 3 days ago

What part of "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds" needs to be explained?

[–] RindarSomething@hexbear.net 2 points 3 days ago (5 children)

The insane mental gymnastics with you nazis is truly exhausting... Star Wars was a cult classic loved by everyone regardless of political party.

You have to make up your own delusions on the spot to cope with the fact you want to hate us SO BADLY yet can't figure out a reason to.

Since, you know. Your own cultist psychos are the ones taking pot shots at your other cultist psychos.

Read the comments and you'll find out!

Who are you accusing of being nazis? What cult are you talking about? Who's taking potshots at who?

Let me guess, new account.

I can't tell if they think Ottoboy empire is a right wing troll, or if this is a right winger who thinks hexbears are nazis, or something else.

[–] RindarSomething@hexbear.net 1 points 3 days ago (2 children)
[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 8 points 3 days ago (1 children)

That's not a right wing troll, check their profile. They're just keeping us honest because we (and I've been doing it a lot myself) have been doing some pretty bad mental gymnastics to find ways to avoid the most likely explanation of this whole ordeal: Charlie Kirk got got by someone who didn't like him for his bigotry, not a groyper or someone radicalized by O9A/764/some nazi group.

[–] RindarSomething@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Regardless, it was done by a white kid from a MAGA family who was apparently into guns.

It's always been as simple as that. The right makes it complex, and then the whole discussion becomes complex.

You're just wasting time playing Devil's advocate, what a god damn waste.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 4 points 2 days ago

Paraphrasing Hegel — the entirety of world history has led up to this moment, why shouldn't it be complex?

[–] AOCapitulator@hexbear.net 6 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

we're all here posting on hexbear, what are you talking about wasting time like we could instead be making valuable revolutionary shitposts

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

There's no rightwing people on this website, they are banned on sight

[–] RindarSomething@hexbear.net 1 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

Thanks for the clarification. I guess that's why everyone here just picks fights with each other.

I don't understand the need to play Devil's advocate, still. Like why. It's just sowing divisiveness.

[–] WildWeezing420@hexbear.net 2 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

We're not playing devil's advocate, we just have a materialist outlook on the world and don't believe the world works like you do. Our priorities are different because we think different things are important. We are under no illusion that any "list" released would contain the full truth or result in any consequences for the ruling class. We understand how the world works, and it doesn't result in magical consequences for the rulers without first a revolution.

You are putting the cart before the horse. You want the consequences for the rich pedos before we have power. Screaming into the void won't accomplish anything, we have to actually take the power first before doing anything

In regards to the discussion of the politics of the Charlie Kirk shooter - the correct answer is to say "who fucking cares" not quibble over semantics endlessly trying to assess if we get points or lose points for him being on our "team". He's a lone individual actor, not connected to any movement, and his politics are irrational and pointless to discern. The Charlie Kirk shooting is the death of one asshole out of tens of thousands that die in the US every year from gun violence. The correct response to all this should be a giant fart noise, not making convoluted mental gymnastics why this guy is actually a groyper.

Sir, this is a Taco Bell

Star Wars was a cult classic loved by everyone regardless of political party.

Are you trying to point out how fascists love shows like Star Wars that are intended to paint them as the bad guys and therefore liking or referencing something like helldivers isn't really evidence of anything?

You have to make up your own delusions on the spot to cope with the fact you want to hate us SO BADLY yet can’t figure out a reason to.

I think you are misunderstanding the person you are replying to. You should have specified what delusions you think they have to make it more clear what you are trying to communicate.

Since, you know. Your own cultist psychos are the ones taking pot shots at your other cultist psychos.

At least assuming the messages here and from discord are from Tyler and not taken out of context, it doesn't exactly seem like this guy is maga cultist, but instead a rather apolitical and semi-closeted queer son of mormon+maga cultists who killed someone for spreading queerphobia. Of course there's still the Trump shooter...
