As with all communities posts need to abide by the code of conduct, additionally moderators will remove any posts or comments deemed to be inappropriate.

Thank you and happy chatting!

I don't just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of "legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community" top-cop takes.

I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we're Russian/Chinese bots.

Sure they still do that but they've slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.

One of the things that pushed me into leftism about seven years ago was the realization that there even WAS something to the left of me.

Yeah the same is true for me being anti-car. When I first heard of European congestion taxes when I was car-brained I was like "that is literally insane, how are you going to restrict poor people's right to get into the city". But after learning about other forms of transit and the fact that it's affordable and cheap and objectively better than private vehicles, I realized that just realizing that other transit options exist makes me move further 'left' lol.
