It's that person that thought Putin wants to reinstate the USSR and refused to denounce Israel without equating Palestinian "guilt." he-laughed

They wandered into a dunk tank post, debate perverted, and whined on Lemmy.world

    they’re less like the meeting room of a communist party than like the bar where those communists hang out and drink beer, after the meeting is over.

    I actually really like this description. I'm amazed at the number of people in this thread who actually somewhat get it. It's heartening <3

    Folks is our reputation improving? I'm seeing pretty even splits in terms of people defending our instance vs. scratched libs. Some even saying we changed their minds on things.

    Yeah I think global platforms showing the genocide have been a massive problem for libs. It's hard to feel morally superior to someone while you're defending the people mutilating children on a post showing the mutilated kids. It starts to puncture the illusion of being the reasonable good guy when you're telling people to ignore the bodies.

    I definitely saw a few who specifically said that if you engage in good faith that Hexbear isn't bad.

    I'm flattered that they're still malding over a comment I made more than a year ago. Dot world libs only wish they had that kind of posting power.

    I’ve never heard of communism being an economic framework before, I thought it just meant a system without capitalism or a state. Do you have something short I could read about communism being an economic framework?

    Half of the comments are people defending us, with language that's more persuasive than I could do myself. I'm honestly touched.

    Hexbear is sort of like a village of eldritch abomination worshippers in a Lovecraftian horror story - isolated, insular, entirely wrapped up in their own esoteric rituals and ideas and language, and immediately and collectively hostile to outsiders.

    If you’re saying I’m calling their viewpoints crazy, I’m not. I didn’t get a view point besides I’m pig slop, a piece of shit, brainwashed by the empire (whatever the hell that means), stupid, a basement dweller, and today, I think they called me a pervert

    michael-laugh TAGLINE

    This is my exact same experience. I ask for someone to elaborate on their stance, get told (not accused, told) I’m trolling. Ask for explanation/definition of a concept, get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory. Ask for civility, get told I deserve abuse for “endorsing genocide”. (By the way, I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I’m a genocide supporter I guess because I won’t flush my vote third party this November.)

    tfw Hexbear wants you to vote third party???? Who is advocating for this???

    There's never been one of these "Hexbear is mentally ill because they disagree with me" threads that hasn't been result of someone coming here and getting banned after posting in bad faith. -- Surprisingly, it seems that the rest of the fediverse is increasingly aware of that.

    The OP of that thread has been banned from hex several times because they're a debate pervert who keeps insisting they're open to new information and then refuse to budge when given that information. The worst kind of white liberal MLK wrote of, who is perfectly polite but steadfastly opposed to change. Every time they've posted you can see they're trying to sway us over to their malformed, petty worldview, and it never works because we're all so terminally online we can see through that shit.
