I have no idea where you're getting this from. Saying someone is a Lumpenprole isn't a moral judgement, just an economic one. Someone who grows rice and the bandits that steal it have different relations to the means of production. They are not just proles who break the law.

it's ridiculous to try to carry that notion forward to the age of cell phones and heavily armed maoist prostitutes

Engels was largely revolutionary but he was also bourgeoisie, that does not mean that the bourgeoisie as a class are revolutionary. Also, many ML theorists argue that Lumpenproles do have revolutionary potential while not denying they exist as a class.

I hate the whole publicly traded model of sock exchanges. I hate capitalism. But have to engage in trading socks (I mostly do crew cuts and a small quantity of direct socks) so that my fabric doesn't lose elasticity by sitting in a drawer or hamper.

Same thing with t-shirts, don't like exchanging shirts and getting marked on a centralised list for that but it's a safer option than using your own.

Fortunately I don't do laundry so that's a plus.

Can't wait for liberals to claim the election was stolen, do a shitty protest in the capital, get murdered by cops, and complete their transformation into literal Blue MAGA.

The basic idea is that the universe is unjust and gods sends people to hell for "sins" because of his own bigotry.

Of course, they dropped all that when they realized that gay tumblr ships were going to get more views that whatever the original point was.

Should Hexbear ML's tone down their Admiration...

No radlibs do this already and libs have yet to be convinced. Plus the whole "The Soviets were actually kinda good" can be a great entry-point to unlearning anti-communist propaganda.

If it wasn't hating AES, it would be something else. If we weren't being smeared for having correct opinions we would be smeared for outright lies.

eating sardines and how healthy they think it is (it’s not)

They are objectively nutritious and healthy. Plus they taste good if you're willing to get over yourself. You're telling on yourself with this post.

I got a hot chocolate with 2 shots of gold rum, a pile of marshmellows, and pumpkin spice with a plate of cookies.

Edit: You guys are nerds, only one of you is drinking an actual holiday drink. It's just depressed college students slugging down liquor and middle aged dads drinking beer.

What's your take on post-structural serial killerism vs physical dehumanization sciences?

Literally half of all players on TF2 are LGBT. I've been playing TF2 about 20 hours in the last 2 weeks and I have YET to see a non-trans medic.

They all have Mediguns labeled "Estrogen Dispenser" or other such trans references.

Fake news.

It only occurs if you "Watermelon" as the third trigger word or if you say it at the door. The reason for this is because melons are a code-name for tiddies and the AI can't distinguish between the tiddie context and the fruit (but not fruit as in tiddie) context.

Communism is about one thing really, the more you do this one thing the more communist you are.

That is abandoning all your principles and throwing minorities under the bus the LITERAL SECOND a democrat promises you even the slightest concession. You tankies would never understand this.

We all know our boy Oswald was a CIA plant, but what about the assassination itself?

It's gonna be 15 years until all the records get released so make your bets now on the most likely outcome as well as your favorites.

We should defederate with the News Megathread and have that be a seperate Hexbear.

Hexbear has been too unified these past few years and hasn't lead to an official splinter lemmy yet.

I'm looking forward, in an absolutely horrific way, to libs being like "Yes Joe Biden is allowing literal genocide but you still need to vote for him because a damn CHEETO."

Unironically great, I've been trying to integrate traditional Chinese philosophy and religion with my communist views for a long time now actually.

I've talked about this a bit on here but I think the metaphor of Taoism is correct even if the underlying explanation isn't. You can explain to children how gravity and shit works and how that causes the seasons but it's just fucking numbers. You tell them that Persephone is in Hades and Demeter is mourning her absence and they understand it perfectly. Now obviously the gods aren't literally real but meaning is often better explained by metaphor than science.

It's my sincere belief that there is lots of meaning in religion and philosophy that has yet to be discovered by science. Scientists discover universal principles, poets explain them.

Admins simultaneously treat hexbear as a super serious space that necessitates adherence to a party line or face the banhammer. But they also treat it like a pet project in which it's not a big deal to be arbitrary about their decisions. There's no real recourse or way to defend against these decisions as bringing it up is "re-igniting" struggle sessions. We can never learn from it because all the posts in question get deleted. This makes it so nothing but what the admins believe represents the true story even gets to be remembered.

Most people come to hexbear through memes and personal experience and so all of their intellectual development is capped at that. This causes people to understand communism only so far as confirming their dislike of capitalism/authority. This means that Hexbear will always be a cesspool of very cool but fucking stupid lib-brains and as such doom this site to permanently being a shitpost.

Hexbear users largely decide what's true or not based on the posts vibes. Basically, a less morally horrendous version of "The Card Says Moops" thing.

Some hexbear people are cry-bullies who will happily wade into controversial waters but act distressed if they get flack from one person. If posting is legitimately causing you that much stress, you shouldn't be posting about controversial topics.

Hexbear users have better opinions but are shittier people on average than the general population. I would join a organization with most of you but I'd be fucked if I invited you shitheads to my apartment.

You can get away with a lot of racism, sexism, and homophobia if you couch it in a half-ironic tone.

Well I think that's been a good run for this account.
