Umm actually sweaty have you considered that communism has killed 100 million people?? chekmate

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 20 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

I love it when they say stuff like that and then when they're challenged on it they can't cite anything. It's just stuff everybody knows.
Then you eventually get a single link to either Wikipedia or the first article their frantic googling gave them

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 13 hours ago

it is just known but then go it wasn't capitalisms fault for all of the deaths it's caused

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 25 points 15 hours ago

100 million? Must be a slow day

[–] LaughingLion@hexbear.net 29 points 14 hours ago

well, there is still all of you

[–] umbrella@lemmy.ml 14 points 13 hours ago

this unironically converted some folks.

but then we have to defederate the tankies....

my favorite thing about us interacting with liberals here is how they can't handle us talking normally. Just our normal communication style, casual chatting, is interpreted by them as wildly offensive and rude. And that's no matter what we're saying or how good faith we're communicating. It felt like even when I was trying to talk normally to libs here or federated I'd have to water down everything I said, or I'd get asked to denounce Stalin or the DPRK no matter what the topic was.

Or maybe that's just their defense mechanism? Like a squid spraying ink. When they don't have anything concrete to say they instantly complain about manners?

Yeah that's it. I've worn down enough of them to see the pattern play out time and again. After that comes aggression and insults and if then you get "lol you triggered?"

My favourite thing to do is to ask them a simple question and then point out how they never answer it.

My second favourite thing to do is to explain why Wikipedia isn't a good source.

My third most favourite thing to do is take a shit so big it tears my asshole in two. Gotta eat less fiber I guess.

Since they love the word ad hominem, someone should point out to them that tone policing is one of them.

Redditors all talk exactly the same like they're in a weird robot cult, so when they see internet people conversing in a normal, reasonably casual style and having a good time doing so it short circuits their brains

[–] coacoamelky@lemm.ee 50 points 18 hours ago (4 children)

I'm new here and I couldn't even tell there were problems with how you guys communicate.

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 51 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Hexbear gets reaaaally hostile when it's obvious that a person is acting in bad faith and not at all worth talking to. The crowd does not waste its time trying to engage bad faith actors and instead just switches over to hostility, pigpoopballs or fart noises.

If someone seems in good faith or willing to actually learn then it's pretty reasonable.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

We could do well with chilling out a little bit though. Whenever an @ asks any question that might mark them as Not A Leftist they get ppb before they even show their ass.

I see it differently, I can feel a deep fire burning in almost all of Hexbear's comments, quite different from most communities that just whine without purpose.

One day I'll find out what this fire is aiming at. /s

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 35 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

That's one of the best compliments I have ever received. Another was when I regular customer I had given my number to if they wanted me to send them reading material or podcasts on specific subjects randomly texted me one day to tell me they mentioned me at a house party vaguely and literally everyone was like "is that the cool anarchist commie guy at [grocery store]" Made me really think my agitprop in retail hell is not for nothing.

Usually the bad experiences people bring up are ones they instigate.

9/10 boils down to someone trying to be a debate pervert like ben Shapiro or trying to troll everyone.

Like no shit it's a bad experience when you come in hostile from the start.

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 13 points 14 hours ago

I love it when those people cry about civility because we use rude words. They think that they've managed to camouflage their rancid vibes just because they don't swear.

it’s mostly just lack of capitalization, punctuation, use of emojis, etc that triggers them

[–] REgon@hexbear.net 15 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

They have a hard time with low brow humour. They also have a hard time with high brow humor. They have a hard time with humor in general.

[–] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 10 points 12 hours ago

If liberals have a hard time with humor, explain why Bill Maher makes me laugh so hard smuglord

[–] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 14 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

It’s only funny if it’s a stale meme beaten to death before it got to them

Question for tankies: when you're picking out your ideology, why don't you simply choose the lib-left part of the political compass instead of auth-left?

[–] MeowZedong@lemmygrad.ml 23 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Only tankies get Xi bucks. I'm saving mine up for a life-size replica of Stalin's holodomer spoon.

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 6 points 11 hours ago

I'm saving mine for a Stalin android that's Deepseek trained on all his works and historical acts and puts me over his knee and spanks me when I step into revisionism.

TRUE CENTRISM HAS NEVER BEEN IMPLEMENTED!

EVERYTHING HAS ALWAYS BEEN OFF CENTER ON THE POLITICAL COMPASS!

Once we have true centrism, both those who want healthcare ands housing for all, and those who want extermination of lesser skull shapes will be equally unhappy as they will be getting a fraction of what they want.

THAT IS WHEN TRUE CENTRISM WILL BE REACHED AND HISTORY WILL TRULY END.

[–] btbt@hexbear.net 17 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 15 hours ago)

committing omnicide via nuclear weapons so that human ideas and beliefs simply cease to exist is the way of the true centrist
