sh.itjust.works and a 1-user Lemmy instance called lemmy.magnor.ovh also see and reply to Hexbear comments, though Hexbear doesn’t see their replies:
i love how libs’ brains just break at the thought of someone being more left-wing than them. it never gets old.
The few interactions I’ve had with them wasn’t because they believed we were more left-wing than them. They thought we were pretend left wing.
Because of Sorkin Syndrome™ and MAGA saturation, crudeness = right wing.
If anyone were to be on the left of them, the hypothetical leftists should be even more polite and civil than they are! Doncha know, the more crude, the more right! It’s not about economic policy that dictates how left/right you are, it’s about how rude you are on the internet!
They literally care about tone more than policy. Which explains American politics, but it’s not a meme. If you post PPB in the same sentence as calling for guillotines for every billionaire, they’d ignore the second part and call you right wing.
Tied into this, I think there’s also an element of liberals expecting a certain bleeding heart morality to the left that they believe paralyzes. They don’t want solutions out of the left, they want to have socio-political catharsis through the veneer of left politics. So some might cry: “what’s happening in Yemen is so sad my heart goes out for them”, yet ultimately decide that the ‘rational’ amoral realpolitik demands the US play this game with the Saudis else things could be hypothetically worse. ‘Ignore the heart, choose the mind’ type attitude when it comes to the “real”. So’ coming up against leftists that are less interested in playing the bleeding heart or (merely) stroking their own ego by pointing to moral superiority forces one to re-evaluate either what they consider to be left or the stated values/goals of the leftist challenging this framework.
Hopefully this made sense, I’m not running on a lot of sleep lmao.
Right wing propaganda such as what? Go ahead, we’ll all wait. They can NEVER give a concrete answer. It’s always ‘but Russia’ and I haven’t seen fuck all about Russia on here in days and days
I think it’s probably right wing propaganda like:
-
Biden isn’t perfect
-
Russia isn’t solely to blame for the Ukraine war
-
there’s no evidence from reliable sources for Uighur genocide
You see… Even being against nuclear conflict is as pro-Russia right-wing statement…
The “right wing propaganda” to them is literally anything that is negative about liberals.
Their conception of “left” is that liberal = as far left as you get. Anything negative about liberals is therefore right wing.
They see “I do not like libs” and go to “this is right wing” in their headspace because they know literally nothing other than democrat vs republican. They don’t even understand that those are just two halves of liberalism. If you explained that the fascists in Japan are the liberal party their heads explode.
Yeah, I kept seeing posts like this all over kbin and they made me curious as to what’s actually going on with this ‘hexbear’ they were talking about.
I’ve been lurking here for a few weeks now and it seems like one of the saner places I’ve stumbled across since I landed in the fediverse. So it makes me a little sad that these posters seem to have such a strong reaction to the ideas posted here. Either they’re inventing things feign offence over, because they dislike the actual ideas so much, or I’m just missing all the really nasty posts on hexbear. 🤷♂️
Why won’t you people learn that the US is the only force for good in the world, and should be worshipped? Only a fascist would be calling for its destruction. They’ve only killed a few people here and there, and I’m sure they were all accidental, not like those evil soviets! Please, just pick up a history book. I recommend The Anti-Communist Manifesto by Jesse Kelly. He’s a good, honest, hard working, all AMERICAN politician who just has reasonable centrist opinions that I don’t see how anyone could disagree with.
From weaponizing race, sex, and gender to hijacking our schools, communism threatens to destroy our cherished American way of life. Featuring practical tools and tactics to not only identify communists but also defend the United States from this malicious enemy, The Anti-Communist Manifesto is an instructive guide for all patriots.
I need a shower now.
