I see a lot of users with like 1000 comments and close to 0 posts. Users are obligated to post the things that they want to see posted. If you (the girl reading this) are expecting something to be posted, then be the user to post it.

It's not hard to make 1 post a day. It takes like 10 minutes.

Maybe you saw a really funny meme. Maybe you saw an important news article. Maybe you read an interesting blog post. Maybe you have a special interest. Search to see if it has been posted today. If it has not been posted, then post it.

spoilerAvoid posting everything into the slop comm. With the rapid decline of Western Society, there seems to be a tendency to post everything into the slop comm. I believe that the slop comm should be focused on the bottom of the barrel to prevent it from being a catch-all comm. Slop should be a thing that would get you kicked out of a public space. Imagine you are in a coffee shop and making small talk with the barista. If you explained your post to the barista would you get kicked out of the coffee shop? If you said "I saw our president post some ai generated image where he was jesus. I couldn't believe it", you would not get kicked out of the coffee shop. If you told the barista "there's a world of warcraft player who doesn't shower and he wants to kill all immigrants", you might be asked to leave the coffee shop.

Chapo Trap House is a left wing political comedy podcast. It would make sense for posts that are funny and politics-related were in this comm. Trump posting an image of himself as jesus, is something that they would talk about on Chapo Trap House.

Don't post screenshots of headlines without including the link to the article. The article headline and the article are written by 2 different people and many times the article headline can be inaccurate or not contain enough information. Don't repost screenshots that someone else made. Link to articles.

Make posts that you think are interesting. Make the title of the post contain key details about the post, sometimes articles bury the lede. Include keywords in the title or post body, so that your post is searchable. Don't be afraid to comment on your own post to share your opinion about the post or include additional information. If somebody comments on your post to say that your post isn't interesting, ignore them, they're being a jerk.

First off everyone who is anticapitalist in public is in danger.

This sentence doesn't contradict my comment at all.

Were the Trotskyists doing "anticapitalism in public" when they supported the Hong Kong separatist movement in 2019-2020? The Hong Kong separatist movement which was sponsored by the National Endowment for Democracy.

Beyond that, RCI has a Taiwan branch with active chapters in at least 6 cities. They oppose Chinese re-unification. They oppose Mao. They oppose Xi Jinping. They oppose the CPC. Open the article below that RCI published and translate it. RCI says that "Taiwan is already a fully independent country".

This is just one example. RCI holds many ideas that most hexbear users would not agree.

"Even though at one time Trotskyism represented an erroneous position, but a position in the field of political ideas, Trotskyism became during the following years a vulgar instrument of imperialism and reaction. This is the way these gentlemen think. For example, in relation to South Vietnam, where a broad revolutionary front has united the overwhelming majority of the people and various sectors of the population, has united them closely around the liberation movement in the struggle against imperialism. For the Trotskyists that is absurd; that is counterrevolutionary. Yet these gentlemen who serve imperialism have the gall to do such an unusual thing in the face of the facts and realities of history and against the revolutionary movement and to express themselves in this manner. "

-Fidel Castro, 1966

Trotskyists support Lenin but opposed the USSR. They also deny the existence of AES states. They oppose China, Vietnam, etc. They also oppose labor unions. They're known for selling newspapers.

The flag says "Revolutionary Communist International". The pin and t-shirt says RCI/RCP. This is a well known Trotskyist party. They own the url "marxist (dot) com".

They're outside in a public space. They're not trying to hide their faces; they're selling newspapers. Trotskyists are most often criticized for supporting western imperialism. I doubt that they're in any sort of danger.

Nowadays anyone still showing it is absolutely being racist.

I think the only reason that Southerners stopped flying Confederate Flags is because they fly Trump flags now instead. Or the Thin Blue Line flag.

I watched the new Boots Riley movie at the theatre, 'I love boosters'. Without spoiling the movie, the movie uses Marxist concepts as major plot points in the film. At one point in the movie, a character just starts saying things like: "dialectical materialism", "heightening the contradiction", labour value being stored within commodity, etc. It even explains Hegel's Dialectic Method.

To me, the movie felt very direct in references to Marx. However, I'm not sure that other people who watched the movie in that theatre were catching the references. I think there's not many socialists in my area.

I overheard other groups of people in the theatre saying the movie was weirder than they expected. I hope that people who like the movie will remember the Marxist terms used in the movie and research those terms. Those people might accidentally discover Marxism.

Women's liberation is another big theme in the movie. The movie evokes the idea of like: don't be a side character in a man's story, women should follow their own ambitions, and women aren't obligated to fix men.

Twenty years ago, you had a stoner friend who would fold dollar bills as evidence that 9/11 was an inside job.

What the US has been doing is a war crime called Perfidy, which the United Nations defines as "to kill, injure or capture an adversary" while "feigning of an intent to negotiate under a flag of truce or of a surrender".

The US has continuously pretended to agree to deals with Iran, while at the same time doing more attacks against Iran. The US is using the false premise of a ceasefire to try to gain a strategic advantage. It's like when children are playing a game and there's one bratty-child who always calls a "timeout" where they are losing the game.

Think back to the founding of the United States, the colonizers made tons of bogus deals and treaties with the indigenous people and then broke those treaties and genocided the indigenous populations. The US playbook is the same now as it was then.

TBF, I wouldn't say she endorsed him.

It looks like she did.

The article and the tweet says that the 15,000 tons is the first shipment of a 60,000 ton commitment. I would guess there's 3 more shipments coming.

It's also total nonsense, since "using lethal force to prevent an abortion" is an abortion. And using lethal force after an abortion doesn't prevent one.

The way that the bill is written seems like it is meant to make it legal to kill doctors who perform abortions. Also Roy Cooper stopped being the Governor in January 2025. The current Governor is Josh Stein. Roy Cooper is running to be a Senator for NC this year, also a Zionists.

In the video, Hasan already became the dad who stepped up. Also this is the second babymama that he interviewed; the first was Grimes in 2022. Hasan also interviewed Vivian Wilson last year, who is Elon's daughter.

The interview was pretty good. She leaked Elon Musks text messages. She leaked info on Congress member Anna Paulina Luna and Laura Loomer. She said that she was responsible for Elon wearing the black "Dark Maga" hat.

In January of this year, Ashley St Clair issued a public apology to transgender people, for the past harm that she caused to the transgender community. Does this mean she is a good person now? No. Do transgender people have to accept the apology? No. I think it does show that she is trying to change. I don't see any possible ulterior motive why she would have issued this apology.

Ashley St Clair has also been bullying Elon Musk for not being accepting towards his transgender daughter. In January, Elon threatened to seek full custody of their child because Ashley said she supports transgender people.

Statement by CODEPINK’s Medea Benjamin Regarding an Alleged Government Investigation Into March Cuba Trip

Contrary to rumors, I have not received any subpoena from the U.S. government. Perhaps one is on the way. But let me be clear: we did nothing wrong during our March 2026 trip to Cuba. On the contrary, we acted as moral U.S. citizens trying to bring some relief to a population being deliberately starved by the cruel policies of our own government.

We traveled to Cuba under the U.S. government-authorized category of providing humanitarian aid to the Cuban people. We brought desperately needed medicines and medical supplies at a time when Cuba is suffering catastrophic shortages caused by the crippling U.S. blockade. We stayed in hotels explicitly permitted under U.S. regulations: Spanish-owned hotels approved for U.S. travelers.

It is outrageous that the U.S. government would target people for bringing humanitarian aid to suffering Cuban children. But even more disturbing is the cruel and deeply immoral policy the United States continues to impose on Cuba — a policy designed to strangle the island economically, deprive people of food, fuel, medicine, and basic necessities, and make daily life unbearable.

This policy has contributed to catastrophic shortages of medicine and electricity, massive blackouts, transportation collapse, and a public health crisis that has hurt the most vulnerable, especially children and the elderly. It is a policy that is, literally, killing babies, as we have seen in the recent tragic doubling of the infant mortality rate. This is why we focused our donations on medical supplies for pediatric hospitals.

In addition to the immense human suffering these U.S. policies are causing, we are now hearing reckless threats about an invasion of Cuba — a path that would bring chaos, violence, and a massive migration crisis.

Year after year, the global community overwhelmingly condemns the U.S. blockade at the United Nations. The United States should lift the blockade, normalize relations with Cuba, and allow the future of Cuba to be determined by the Cuban people themselves — not by ambitious U.S. politicians or a small group of hardline Cuban-American extremists in Miami.

President Trump already has his hands full trying to disentangle himself from the disastrous U.S. war with Iran. He should not start another one in Cuba. The American people are tired of endless wars, interventions, sanctions, and suffering imposed in our name.

I copy/pasted the text above from the codepink website. She says other stuff in the video; it has subtitles.
