Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think.

If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484

Edit: there’s also this thread: https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693

What the hell is this? Is this an elaborate joke?

[-] [email protected] 59 points 1 month ago

That part made me laugh out loud

I looked it up, it’s a city in The Uygur Autonomous Region. Please give me some links on how that’s relevant. I don’t like search engines for this stuff.

When a thread has more comments then upvotes it's like smelling smoke before seeing the fire.

[-] [email protected] 39 points 1 month ago

On Hexbear, even our fires are gay deep-nesting

[-] [email protected] 12 points 1 month ago

And our gays are fire 🔥 🤘

Why do these people make posts about arguing with us? Who cares.

[-] [email protected] 54 points 1 month ago

Because they have fragile identities based around being the good guys and have never once encountered anything that rejects western imperialism

They're used to their enemies either buckling or getting so mad they say a slur. When that doesn't happen they need psychic soothing in the form of fellow liberals telling them that in fact China is the enemy of all humanity

"I'm so sick of those guys and their echo chamber, so I'm blocking them so I only need to hear opinions that agree with my preconceived notions!"

[-] [email protected] 34 points 1 month ago

This place is obviously something of an echo-chamber, but it's so rich coming from a redditor for whom their entire lives are going to be capitalist echo-chambers whereas the people on hexbear just have their little lemmy thing and otherwise exist in the same sorts of dogmatically capitalist spaces the redditor does (for the most part).

[-] [email protected] 28 points 1 month ago

Yeah most of us leave the echo chamber we have here as soon as we go outside. For people in other spaces there is less likely to be a difference.

[-] [email protected] 21 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

This is the only place I know where leftists congregate, and their only things in common are antiimpetialist, and far left of center. Which has a lot of actual difference of opinion (anarchist, and communist is pretty deep theory with a ton of different factions) so is this place an actual echo chamber because if I admit that ideologically I'm an anarchist doesn't that mean I'm inviting a dog pile?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 1 month ago

Yeah, Hexbear has taught me to purity test where it matters and let ideological shit slide. I'm a maoist, but have lots of anarchist friends I do organizing work with. Sometimes we disagree on things, but the important thing is that we're able to work together to make our area a better place. We all kind of accept that there's no chance of a revolution where we live, so there's really no point in getting into ideological spats. Even if there was a revolution coming, there'd still be more value in working together as leftists than purity testing each other.

[-] [email protected] 13 points 1 month ago

I think we are fairly good about keeping sectarianism to a minimum.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 1 month ago

I don't mean it as a point of judgement, it just is an echo chamber and you can observe that in the lack of voiced disagreement on countless issues much more specific and peripheral than "should poor people get to eat?"

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

Like what?

[-] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago)

There's the question of whether Russia is imperialist. In about equal measure, I've seen people here both say that the Ukraine War is an inter-imperialist conflict and that it's actually anti-imperialist on Russia's part. The course of action (revolutionary defeatism) remains the same, but I've seen the occasional Hexbear on Hexbear argument over it.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

If it's being argued over, that counts against the "echo chamber" idea though.

[-] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

I missed the "lack of" part of the comment you originally responded to. Sorry.

Why do those bruhs always feel the need to share threads where they were absolutely obliterated and in response thrown a tantrum as some kind of gotcha?
