Somewhere between a lib and and tankie. Depends whose asking.
You talking about this posts?
I did not want to take further actions in that thread in general (for archival purposes), but I did take one action, which in retrospect was a mistake: I removed a comment which contained the hammer and sickle symbol. I ignorantly associated this symbolism with Kremlin propaganda, and the atrocities my own people suffered at the hands of the soviet union during the previous century. Many users (including hexbear users) correctly (and politely) pointed out to me in DMs that the symbol has a much broader use than just as the symbol of the USSR, and people elsewhere in the world may not associate it with the USSR at all. I am grateful for users who pointed this out to me without resorting to personal attacks.
I get hes not a leftist. But I feel like he gets a “one of the good ones” stickers.
Wait, for real? Thats a pretty dumb thing to say. I’ve seen him be fairly supportive of hexbear.
I saw a comment of him complaining about some Hexbear users calling him subhuman, which got unanimous support that its not okay. But even after that he told users to block individuals and he will not be defederating.
This was a small show with a local guy talking. He’s bad at this and its sad to hear. Like you said, its sad to think this is what he chooses to do. He’s filled with so much hatred that he can’t even think straight. Meanwhile, blaming others for their hatred without a hint of irony.
People like Glen Beck are better about the grift. Hes been talking about his new book called “Dark Future”. No idea what its fully about, but he talks about “the great reset” and the WEF’s quote “you will own nothing and enjoy it”. It sounds like Marxist theory, but framed like its a bad thing.
I think its important to know where the conservatives mindset is coming from. Part of it, I know I have to avoid some people like that first guy. He is unreasonable and is motivated by hatred, thats it. But the conservative laborers in my union who listen to Glen Beck? I feel like there’s an avenue to convince them because their understanding of communism is based off a lie.
Wait, did I miss something? I’m from one of those “lib instances” and I’m not seeing anything about defederation.
My wife likes making potato tacos. Its just mashed potatoes in tortillas and you fry it in a pan with some oil. Throw on some hot sauce and they are great.
