You thankfully appear to have not been exposed to a "proper" hexbear thread where all they can do to communicate is call you a shitlib for doing things like acknowledging genocide.

Do you have examples? I am not doubting, since I've seen loads of people saying it. But I've never come across it myself.

I have the entire instance blocked in my client, so I can't even go searching for a thread for you. But if you don't, it should be incredibly easy to poke the hexbear, so to speak. Lemme grab you a link...

Here, this one should work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

Find an appropriate sublemmy on Hexbear and post this, ideally in a context that explicitly declares you oppose genocide. You'll get nothing but the following in your thread:

Accusations that you are a "shitlib". Any attempt by you to find out what this word means will result in additional mockery.
Denials of the Uyghur genocide.
Adoration of the CCP, especially Xi Jinping (but Hexbear likes any authoritarian tyrant in China, so any CCP politician may end up adulated).

I do agree that the hard left seems to enjoy using "liberal" as an insult, knowing that what most Americans interpret as "liberal" is different than the academic definition they use. It needlessly diverts the conversation and makes them think they're superior.

Saying "shitlib" is even worse. Basically an adhom attack, not acceptable when the other party is being civil and respectful.

On #2 and #3, I don't think that is relevant to the original accusation. Of course they will uphold their own views. But #1 is very valid. Though I wish to see examples of it because I have not.
