I'm an old school Southern Democrat. I'm Progressive and extremely to the left of modern Democrats. I believe that everyone is entitled to a standard of living and that includes a home and a mode of transportation and a mode of communication and a way to provide for themselves. I hate how the New Southern vision was sabotaged by Reagan and the Republican Party. We could've had a more inclusive and diverse South. I'm from the Gulf Coast. When I was growing up the Gulf Coast was the last bastion of Southern Democratic dominance. Republicans have taken over our area and corrupted the minds of our people. Southern Democrats are often seen as a monolith but just like the overall Democratic Party it was a big tent. I believe we can revive the Progressive tradition in the South but it's going to take effort.
I looked at the bio and I see the user made multiple posts asking for donations in the mutual_aid comm. I don't think the account is a bit. I'm not sure why a bit account would be asking for help. I think the user made this post to try to get more sympathy for help.
I live in the Southern US as well. There is one thing you have to know about Americans. Every American has a mishmash of contradictory ideas acquired through various life experiences. The average American will say something and then contradict themselves in the next sentence. Eery American seems like they are doing a bit but not doing a bit.
Also I don't care if the account is a bit, my comment is written for anyone who is new to hexbear, wants to join hexbear, or interested in learning about communism.
Additionally, "mutual aid" does not mean charity. The term mutual aid is credited to Peter Kropotkin. The premise of mutual aid is that the organization helps individuals, but then the individuals also go on to help the organization. That's why it's called "mutual". If someone receives donations from Hexbear, they should also make some effort to participate in the community. If they don't participate in Hexbear, then it isn't mutual.
