I am genuinely confused by hexbear too
Is it a site for queer people or for beanis lovers?
You can block them [hexbears], but there are tons of them that have lemmy.world accounts- and post regularly in the political communities.
You’ll know them when you see them.
You’ll know them when you see them.
Yeah you can tell they’re Hexbears by their correct opinions and by the fact they don’t need to make up lies about the people they don’t like online.
The complaints that are like “those tankie assholes. You can always tell it’s them because they rbrigade the thread and all post reasonable seeming sources that support their authoritarian tankie bullshit” are my fav bc yes, reality does have a well known tankie bias so nice of you to notice!
Hexbear is gangstalking me. You can tell because any time I shit my pants it was actually Hexbear disinfomat on my phone which subliminally said “shit your pants if you love your country” and I fell for it again.
What the fuck even was the disinformatsiya kompromot bs? Like what was that moment in cultural history? Somehow all the western media flacks got together and decided to make “disinformation” and “compromising information/blackmail” in to spooky exotic secrets of the inscrutable slavorient and people just accepted that and what the fuck?
Politics has always been sily but i don’t recall the libs being as found of these absurd theatrical performances in the past. Probably just biased memory, but still it’s fucking strange
they also made whataboutism into a spooky “soviet era kgb tactic” despite 1) literally always being used to benefit the west and 2) literally being invented by the British to do the same thing during the troubles in northern Ireland (accusing the Irish of ‘whataboutery’ whenever British atrocities were mentioned)
When I was watching Russiagate evolve in subreddits like r/politics back in 2015, I kept seeing Soviet defector and KGB agent Yuri Bezmenov mentioned. He gave a series of talks about Soviet information warfare with the same kind of conspiratorial angle. It allowed liberals to make sense of their republican friends being unhinged fascists and leftists criticising the democrats. Actually their friends aren’t bad people and they aren’t a bad person by association, it’s just the sneaky Asiatic mental magick hypnotising them through facebook memes. Words like disinformation let them feel cool like NAFO goobers use defense buzzwords, and you see the terminal result of that in real specimens like /u/Olivermarkusmalloy.
im unironically convinced that basically all the people who subjected themselves to lemmy world voluntarily and like argue in the threads and stuff arent like long time hexbear users at all really, idk. whenever i peak in at them arguing with liberals on my blahaj alt that i normally just stick to local on it just has a completely different vibe from hexbear. i think most of them are just people who found out about hexbear from libs who thought our whole thing was trolling or whatever and they just wanted to have endless internet fights about dumb shit.
also i almost never see the people they all accuse of being hexbear users brigading ever comment on here
idk, ive got a headache so idk if any if that came out clear but basically its just lemmy.world lemmitors arguing with marginally less bad other lemmitors with reddit debate bro brainworms all on lemmy.world and then accusing everyone that they dont agree with of being a secret hexbear or whatever. They’ve just got haunting the brain
Hexbear brigades Lemmyworld constantly, with all of the posts we make on Lemmyworld, which are things we can actually do, because we are federated with Lemmyworld, and always have been, and always will be.
I don’t think about .world at all and it seems like they think about us a lot. Interesting
It’s really cute how rattled they are by our most mundane of takes, as if it’s our fault they fell for one of the most ludicrous propaganda campaigns in recent history
Obviously what’s happening here is that they’re becoming increasing uncomfortable with the fact the mainstream media and establishment are signalling their intention to abandon the war now that it’s obvious who’s won, but because they can’t look inward and ask themselves why they fell for this imperialist warmongering nonsense in the first place, so it must be those gosh darnn tankies and their worship of authoiritutrainaism that’s to blame
Good thing there’s a pretty standard set of trope copes.
“Ukraine is too corrupt and wasted our western wunderwaffe”, or maybe, “Ukraine kept defaulting to their own tactics instead of using western training because the slavic brainpan is simply incapable of superior angloid warfare” or hell, lets go with a classic for the bitter Ukrainian nazi’s if there are still enough alive to have a say “our jewish leadership hamstrung us” – something in line with the typical satanically racist “garden” thinking.
The kind of narrative that lets them slip on by without considering whether or not they were lied to, or the stability of high GDP economies that don’t actually manufacture anything except consent.
Simple as
Hexbears can’t answer the question “is it ok to kill civilians” without asking “Palestinian or Ukrainian?”
Prolonging the war saves Ukrainian lives how? Really, someone from an outside instance answer. I promise not to debate you and just take your opinion.
For some non-Hexbearians reading this: I actively want to prevent Ukrainian conscripts (many of whom are avoiding the draft) from getting chewed up in the meat grinder. Yes, Russia bad. But I have zero control over what Russia does, wheres my own leaders are trying to drag this war out until every able bodied person in Ukraine is disabled or dead.
People on here have always been critical of the west’s bloodthirsty enthusiasm for depleted uranium on Ukrainian soil (people have to live here after this shit!), Ukrainian industry and properties being privatized, refugees being mistreated by Europeans, conscripts (hell we’re more charitable to these guys compared to IDF conscripts because Israelis aren’t fleeing their “country” to escape the draft), and we even become perplexed by the west’s so called aid to Ukraine that’s full of inefficient military contractors looking for a quick buck first before helping Ukraine’s military, or how Ukraine’s local governments are corrupt and failed to build proper defenses to stop Russians and no consequences were dealt by the Ukrainian government
These westoids don’t give a fuck about any of that. As far as they’re concerned, the ghost of Kyiv is still kicking ruzzyianaski ass 50000:1
I will reciprocate their vibes-based take on what Hexbears think, and presume that they believe Putin would just be emboldened by victory in Ukraine and promptly invade another country. Thus, the war can only stop if Putin is defeated.
While simultaneously believing that a single Western tank can destroy an entire brigade of Russian ones without taking damage, and that a single F-16 is sufficient to maintain a permanent no fly zone
U C, Putin is actually Hitler, and Hitler wanted to conquer to world, so Putin wants to conquer the world.
Just don’t ask why Russia is only invading Ukraine. They do want all the other countries too.
But then you could easily say that Russia only has the economic power to fight one enemy at a time
Not just why only Ukraine, but Putin has been at the head of Russia for over 25 years. Before Ukraine the only military interventions Putin got Russia involved in were in places that were in Russia (Chechnya and Dagestan). I guess there’s Syria but even libs don’t see that one beyond just aiding Assad.
If Putin wants to conquer Europe he sure is taking his sweet time.
