The redditor "Tienanmen Square massacre" narrative is flat earther levels of crank shit and needs to be recognized as such. (hexbear.net)

This shit has seriously gone on too long. People who continue to cling to the "10,000 dead crushed by tanks hosed i to the gutter" bs are cranks. It's jews control the banks, chemtrails, the earth is flat, the moon isn't real level of crank shit and unless you're feeling very indulgent and someone is asking in good faith it can be dismissed as equally serious to that kind of crank shit.

Oh god this entire thread is full of gems

These people are not socialists. It’s all just right wing agitprop. It’s extremely obvious.

I assume hexbear is just the russian troll factory.

I can read Russian and I sometimes read Russian media and it uses almost exactly the same topics for their people. There is a new one that they started to repeat recently and it’s that Zelensky is an illegitimate president, because his term has ened.

It’s weird that those forums are in English, reading the insane takes and rhetoric. I also noticed many of the accounts are just prolific posters, making the community seem small to me. Also saw an account with a trans flag, which is surprising they would accommodate such a person or such a person would have those weird views on lemmygrad.

The utility is that they use hexbear and .ml as intro exercises before they promote the trolls to Facebook or reddit.

Last part is true and even more insane/sad because these people are all terminally online gossip mongers that Pol Pot would have immediately executed.

You own a computer? You don’t work in the fields? You wear glasses?

Yep, literally executed.

Isn't that like... The basics of how a democratic mandate works?

Not that I've ever seen it as a topic here but still. If Rishi Sunak continues as ~~president~~ PM beyond his term time I'm calling him illegitimate. In fact I'm calling him illegitimate now and forever because we literally never got to vote for the fuck. He has/had no mandate.

EDIT: Fuck me libs jump to the dumbest conclusions over the smallest shit.

Term limits aren’t very indicative of democracy. If someone keeps requesting someone to lead beyond a nominal limit, is it not undemocratic to reject it? I still think a mental/age limit should be in place though.

I think any functioning and sensible democracy would not require one. The problem that the US has with geriatrics is a problem of a malfunctioning bourgeoise-democracy. It's underperforming as a "democracy" even for the bourgeoise because of this.

The us has term limits specifically because what's his ass kept winning and wasn't fashy enough.

Rishi... President? Yea, I don't think you're front the UK.

Lmao I was running on 36 hours of being awake when I posted that. I currently reside in Woking if you're wondering, but only for 2 more weeks or I wouldn't be saying that here lmao.

Also a mod over on /r/greenandpleasant, probably banned you at least once if this is the kind of conclusion you jump to over stupid shit.

That's why he's an illegitimate president.

Rishi Sunak is not my president! amerikkka

Help me out what's it called when an elected official doesn't give up power after their term ends

You guys are getting promoted to Facebook and reddit?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 5 months ago

The scary concept is the idea that either Facebook or Reddit is a promotion!

Xi please don't promote me just leave me as a lowly Hexbear-only peon xi-god-emperor

If anyone still remembered the Brady Bunch I'd make a joke comparing the "Marsha Marsha Marsha!" line to "Russia russia russia!"

Obsession with a plot!

Never seen this on here lol. But you’d think these dweebs would be hand wringing about term limits.

I love this because they somehow concluded we support Pol Pot and not that he was a US/China backed psychopath. They always talk about Pol Pot but they never talk about who kicked his ass and ended his genocide. It just stopped out of magic.
