malicious hexbears are taking advantage of people’s trauma to turn them against the west folks (and judging by the recent survey, turning them trans too? )
https://lemmy.world/comment/12777548 link cuz im not a lib
the comment in the screeshot is responding to @blakeus12@hexbear.net’s wholesome introduction post here: https://hexbear.net/post/3631051
I made a TLDR here: https://hexbear.net/comment/5484512
who tf is posting war footage in hexbear? lmfao getting riled up at something that never happened
btw should mention this freakout is over @blakeus12@hexbear.net’s c/introduction post about being based as a 16 year old. shout out to you, I certainly was uh not anywhere near that cool at 16. hell I’m much older than you and have barely been a socialist for longer…
yes, welcome to the club! If you aren’t aware of all the requirements, I’ll get you started on a couple of the easier ones. First, we start off each day with a prayer to Marx and Engels who art in heaven to finally destroy amerikkka, and at the end of the day we chant together for an hour “kill all crackers”
jokes aside, while marxism at its core is not about morals, I really do think this speaks well to your character to become a marxist at your age when many of us were liberals at best or even flirting with hitlerism, keep up the good work comrade
thank you, i really appreciate that. i know marxism isn’t centered in morals, but i still have a lot of passionate anger to the way things are. it’s really reassuring to know a lot of you were libs because it’s scary how the school system can make the most kindhearted people form such sadistic worldviews. it gives me hope that my peers can find some sense one day.
Very funny to see they have fash-lib infighting in their anticommunism comm
this was my analysis exactly although I didnt look through their profile, that makes it even funnier even if they were telling the truth I saw there was a modlog the first day i ever used hexbear/lemmygrad I’m not sure how you would go years without noticing it at the bottom of your page
honestly though rereading it how else would someone know that hexbear used to be called chapo.chat? which makes the funny hypothesis of this being the most unobservant person in the world much more likely lol
I also left near the start of the Ukraine War, people on the news mega were acting pretty weird (and still kind of do)
this I was unaware of. I don’t think this is what the OP was complaining about though lol
Isnt? They use to claim Putin was the way to socialism and that russia was more socialist than china, it was unironic z posting
Yeah, I think we still kinda have this problem. It’s most notable when something happens that is both horrible and ruinous for working-class people while also being bad for the United States on a broad level. There’s a tendency to ignore the former while cheering on the latter. It’s not good.
There is a huge and very justified hatred against
Comments that seem like calls for mass destruction of the USA are not really intended towards the working class people, it’s mostly just a way to cope when we go over the top with it. What we really need is for the USA as an imperialist project to finally lose its power and give way to a new world free from the hard grip of the imperialists.
I agree, it’s a very justified anger. Saying something like “Death to America” isn’t what I’m talking about.
It’s more like… responses to the Ukraine war that forget that real working people are suffering. Like, conflating those civilians with the soldiers sporting Natzi regalia. It’s not, like, wildly prevalent but it’s happened enough with various tragedies that I think it’s important to keep in mind and try to work against.
