If so, was it polled somewhere?

      It’d be lovely if you could just see the hexbear powerusers somewhere convenient and mass block. I went through a couple subreddits of theirs, found the top posts, blocked everyone with more than 50 upvotes. Real pain in the ass, but I suddenly have far fewer teenagers who peaked in middle school debate club to deal with.

        This statement isn’t even internally consistent, are we teenagers or did we peak in middle school?

          You peaked in middle school, you’re now a depressed teenager in high school or therabouts.

          Try a little harder when trying to pose as a well intentioned and reasonable human.

              Saying humans a lot makes other humans think the human saying humans is a well intentioned and reasonable human that just wants all other humans to be more reasonable and well intentioned humans. Humans. very-intelligent

              I make no such posturing, because I don’t give a rat’s ass what you think of me. I’m not dedicating my life’s work to… making other internet less pleasant for everyone else? Because you can’t possibly be so deluded as to think your actions as a whole are positive?

              Anyways, there’s no chance in hell lil smoothbrain me is going to convince any of you enlightened geniuses of our time to pull your heads out of your collective asses. I’m just annoyed you make the meme machine worse.

                  Pfft, please cry about it and get your whole cult to fuck off. Would be so much simpler since we can’t block entire instances yet.

                  Anyways, your echo chamber works better the more enclosed it is. Win win!

            You can actually go to Hexbear communities like mentalhealth or mutual_aid and half the posts are shit like “I need help paying rent” and “I hate my job”

            You’re so married to the reactionary idea of “Communists are all just ignorant teenagers” that you can’t see the evidence against it when it’s right in front of you

      I won’t call debunking imperialist propaganda from the west, and dunking on racist and ableist users, “obnoxious”.

        “America bad looool I just debunked imperialist propoganda”

        Is just about the highest IQ take I’ve seen out of hexbear. Ya’ll got that cult-like disconnection from reality.

        Also when there was a user in unixporn yesterday asking what words will replace “ricing” now that it’s entered social consciousness that the term has a racially based origin, a hexbear jumped in to say it’s now going to be called “crackering”.

        Wow, dunked on that racism so hard.

        It was so racist of that user to better themselves and replace a racial work with a non-racial word. Good thing we have hexbear to help out.

          Having had a disagreement with you in another thread and seen you mischaracterize it as “supporting the rape of innocent women and children” to someone else, I’m fairly confident that if anyone has a cult-like disconnection from reality, it’s likely you.

            If someone tells me it’s bad to be anti-racism, or that systemic racism isn’t real, I’m of course going to say they support racism.

            Your position was that it’s bad to help Ukrainians defend their families from being raped because it damages worker solidarity. Yeah, you’re not going around raping anyone yourself, you simply supporting the system in which it occurs.

            And I don’t think supporting the system of rape is intentional on your part either. I think you’re anti-America (which is good) to the point that you’ll be apologetic towards rape (which is bad), as long as it means you keep being anti-America.

              No, actually I was articulating someone else’s perspective, which was that advocating for greater conflict as retribution for rape is misguided, and I think it’s a reasonable perspective and not, as you and others were suggesting, evidence of faux leftism.

              But good-faith representations of perspectives you disagree with doesn’t seem to be one of your strengths.

                  Does knowing who’s perspective it is really change your opinion of it? Or are you asking so you know who you can accuse of being a Russian apologist?

                  If it stands up to your scrutiny then I wouldn’t think it matters.

                    I’ve talked to too many covert Nazis who will say, “Oh, I don’t believe that Jews secretly control the world, I’m just here to tell you that some people believe it, and here’s the evidence they use.”

                    Don’t argue someone else’s position. If you want to talk about disingenuous, that is disingenuous.

                    State your own position on the rape of civilians and minors in Ukraine.
