Y’all remember that meme about leftists caring about human rights issues and tankies countering that with nothing other than “that’s CIA propaganda”? Well, someone . All I commented was “ITT: Insults, putdowns and whataboutisms”. Well, now I’m banned from a whole range of Hexbear comms permanently. Reason:
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Lol.
Dude it’s the internet. The far right has been trolling every kind of left group for over a decade and since Trump 1.0 it’s been state level actors.
Oh I know. I fucking expect it from them. I just kind of thought people championing social liberty would less shitty to be around.
Hell, I don’t even need people to be nice. Just holy damn don’t be toxic. Their culture is just being toxic and then blaming it on you. But it all makes more sense when you consider that’s not a social movement. That’s just a farm for social credit scores which is why they lash out and just go full bro debate bro all the time
They’re championing social liberty in the same way that teenage atheists champion humanist enlightenment. I can confirm that your irl communist group, full of functional folks who recognize and understand how to interact with people through more than quips and insults, is unlike hexbear. But be aware of where the flock cameras point. The US is doing a McCarthyist revival
Thanks. That’s reassuring. Maybe I’ll keep my feelers out. I hope there’s something I can contribute to a project like that even as I am now
