I didn't coach it or anything. I asked it what hexbear was then I asked it about controversies internally then I asked this
Something along those lines it was earlier today

Here are five hypothetical posts that might appear on Hexbear’s frontpage, synthesized from the platform’s ideological focus, user demographics, and content patterns observed in the search results:
1. Anti-Imperialist News Bulletin
Title: "US Vetoes Palestinian Statehood at UN – Hypocrisy of 'Rules-Based Order' Exposed"
Content: A detailed critique of the U.S. vetoing Palestine’s UN membership bid, juxtaposed with discussions about Western imperialism and hypocrisy in foreign policy. Comments would likely include comparisons to Israel’s actions in Gaza and critiques of NATO’s role in global conflicts.
2. Meme-Driven Political Shitpost
Title: "Milei Applies to NATO (Because Argentina Is Definitely in the North Atlantic 😂)"
Content: A sarcastic meme mocking Argentina’s bid to join NATO under far-right President Javier Milei, accompanied by a map humorously redrawing Argentina into the Atlantic Ocean. Comments would riff on NATO’s decline and Milei’s lack of congressional support.
3. Climate Justice and Anti-Capitalist Analysis
Title: "TotalEnergies Backs East African Oil Pipeline as Western Hypocrisy Floods In"
Content: A breakdown of Uganda’s China-backed oil pipeline project, highlighting Western corporations’ withdrawal under environmental pressure while TotalEnergies retains majority control. Users would debate neocolonialism, climate hypocrisy, and China’s role in the Global South.
4. LGBTQ+ Solidarity Post
Title: "Uganda’s Anti-LGBTQ+ Law: Life in Prison for Lube? Colonial Legacies Strike Again"
Content: A thread dissecting Uganda’s draconian law, linking it to Western-funded evangelical groups and historical colonial laws. Users share resources for mutual aid networks and criticize the UN’s tepid response. Intersectional critiques of imperialism and queerphobia dominate the comments.
5. Satirical Election Commentary
Title: "Trump’s 2024 Campaign: Let’s Speedrun American Collapse 🏴☠️"
Content: A darkly humorous post mocking Trump’s health rumors and media obsession with his "invincibility." Comments feature memes about his "amphetamine binge energy," predictions of his death in office, and debates about accelerationism vs. electoral harm reduction.
Key Themes Reflected
Anti-imperialism: Focus on U.S./EU foreign policy failures and Global South solidarity
Anti-capitalism: Critiques of corporate power, climate destruction, and neoliberal economics
Queer and Trans Liberation: Highlighting intersectional struggles against oppressive laws
Shitposting Culture: Memes, irony, and irreverent humor to critique power structures
Decentralized Discourse: Community-driven analysis over mainstream narratives
Yeah that was actually really solid and I am all for letting the AI post for us now
okay, didn't think AI could take our jobs as posters, but...
Speak for yourself, I'm such a bad poster no AI could replace me
It seems like it's got our number, but it did tell me that cth got banned for supporting violence against cops.
I know we insist that it was solely the John Brown posting that did us in, but supporting violence against cops probably did not help our case in terms of not getting banned
Need an emoji that expresses "you might be right but I don't like hearing it"
We already have one
I should have known better than to doubt our emoji database.
I wasn't around at the time I just heard about it. My impression was that they wanted to ban TheDonald because of all the overt terrorism or whatever, but they needed to be bothsides so picked the most annoying leftist sub to appear evenhanded.
Do youse think you'd have been banned if not for theDonald?
Yeah we were banned by the CIA (there's a good effortpost about it).
TheDonald had moved to their own website months prior and hadn't been accepting new posts while directing people there.
Meanwhile Reddit admins spent months toying with CTH and its posters beforehand - individual accounts would get a 3 day temp ban for "upvoting rulebreaking content" issues every 4 days (meaning you'd get 1 day of activity) and they wouldn't tell you what it was for the most part. They did at first and it was always something stupid, so they stopped trying to justify it bc people would appeal it. You basically needed a rotation of alts to keep posting. After the CTH ban they stopped doing that across the board.
yo that's wild
This is wildly off the mark. We don't use unicode emoji, we use our own!
Civility would disagree
As a good hexbear user, I forget about civility all the time.
They got our ass
Ask it how liberal we are.
Hexbear is a leftist online community that tends to attract users with socialist, communist, and anarchist viewpoints. The platform is known for its strong anti-capitalist, anti-imperialist, and anti-fascist stance. While "liberal" is often used as a broad term in political discourse, it typically refers to those who support capitalism with some degree of regulation, social progressivism, and reformist policies. In contrast, Hexbear users generally identify as leftists who are critical of liberalism, seeing it as insufficient for addressing systemic issues like inequality, exploitation, and climate change.
Hexbear users are likely to be more radical than traditional liberals, advocating for systemic change rather than incremental reforms. They often critique liberal policies and ideologies for being complicit in maintaining the status quo. So, while they may share some social progressive values with liberals, their economic and political views are typically far more radical and aligned with anti-capitalist principles.
In summary, Hexbear users are not "liberal" in the conventional sense; they are more accurately described as leftists or radicals who reject liberalism in favor of more transformative political and economic systems.
Wtf it has our number
LoooolloIool One of us! One of us!
