      If you vote for Harris or Trump

        If the circumstances permit (granted, things would have to get very dire for them to permit), I honestly hope that any and all of those who spewed this intolerable shit and actually materially supported either genocide-party face consequences, akin to how those who supported Nazism after Nazi Germany’s fall did in the occupation (well, or were supposed to… the west screwed up the process for west Germany…)

        It’s not like it would be hard to track them down. Most of these genocidaires are proudly out there showing their asses for this genocide.

        What they mean is 20 years from now someone will write a twitter thread claiming that ralph nader jill stein was responsible for the $US_MILITARY_ATROCITY of 2026 then be dogpiled by people calling them an idiot because every democrat in the house & senate voted for it. I am quaking in my boots thinking of the reckoning that I will experience on that day.

        I was gonna write about that too. This meme is really shit. Like the macro does not complement the text even a little bit. It’s like they demanded a 50 year old staffer to churn out a meme and this was the result. But seeing how Harris radicals operate is not hard to imagine someone made this for free.

        Hatred for Trump has nothing to do with it. Liberals have always fetishised “reaching across the aisle” as they call it. And they have to rationalise that GOP is a grave threat to Americans (especially the women and minorities they love to hide behind) yet somehow it also needs to exist. So they like to imagine that there are sects within the party that are reasonable and they rehabilitate hellspawns like Bush and Cheney who have long since retired from direct bloodletting.

    Lemmy.world is the biggest instance, and given it being an anti-Marxist instance designed to replicate Reddit, it has the most turbo-radlibs that couldn’t stay on Reddit through the API crisis. Zionism, transphobia, racism, all manner of the worst takes possible. The smuggest people on the Fediverse, and the rudest.

    Sh.itjust.works is 50/50 lib/fascist, NCD and MeanwhileOnGrad push the fascism.

    Lemmy.ca is just landlords.

    Lemm.ee is more of a tool than an instance.

    Lemmy.ml is constantly a struggle session, .worlders outnumber communists and anarchists but the mods side with the communists, so it’s constantly a struggle.

    Grad is grad, doing fine it seems.

    Dbzer0 still pretends to be okay with Marxists, but they can’t support AES. Weird spot, doing okayish.

    Solarpunk is small but has your typical anti-AES anarchist slant, some users are more reasonable than others, which is just a symptom of putting aesthetic over politics.

    Think that does it!

        It’s an outlet to get out frustration, honestly, though sometimes it leaves me more frustrated. I’ve stated before, Hexbear is by far the more enjoyable instance for me, but I get satisfaction out of calling genocidal libs out or proving some ultraleft “Marxist” wrong about their understanding of Marxism.

        I’ve spoken with a few users, carefully pointing out how by being anti-Marxist but not also being anti-liberal, and further having no links to theory of any sort beyond aesthetic choices, opens them up to opportunism. They seemed to vaguely accept it, hope it can get through to them.

            See, it’s entirely self-driven and egotistical, I get grim satisfaction from asserting my knowledge of theory against the smug liberals. It isn’t healthy, nor is it out of any grander vision, I still haven’t picked a party to join yet. It’s just me being a debatebro, albeit less of one than I used to be on Reddit.

            I appreciate the sentiment, I just think my energy would be more productive elsewhere.

        Yep, anti-AES Anarchists often play into Imperialist hands, which describes the overall dbzer0 pretty well. Our Anarchists are great!

            It was at first, but for some reason dbzer0 is filled with the “Lenin wasn’t a Marxist” and the “Engels wasn’t true to Marx” and the “Marx would’ve been an Anarchist” types. Full respect to our Anarchist comrades for actually reading both Marxist and Anarchist theory, the dbzer0 Anarchists are a different set entirely.

    Someone from reddit.world accused me of being a right-wing troll and it started a dog pile session where they got torn apart by a dozen other commenters for being a moron. It was actually really affirming that my neurotic screaming into the void has been acknowledged and accepted.

      I got banned for world news because i was asking why something was deleted as a comment.

      Worst thing about lemmy is having no way to ask questions to mods other than just spam dming.

      Although Pretty sure it was because I kept arguing with one of the protected pro Israel accounts based on how all but that accounts comments were getting removed in any thread

        The average Hexbear post is pretty wild when you’re a lib. I remember finding r/cth in 2016 and the shit people would say casually in the comments kinda blew me away. “Do it again Sherman” goes crazy with a Southern education.

        Even then as a Berniebro they were a lot closer to my politics than 2016 reddit (🤮). Funnier too

          yeah i was a newly minted socdem coming from vague left-libertarianism that often posted in r/politics and kept hearing about how scary r/cth was.

          so i made a different account to go check it out (because god forbid i get banned from everywhere for touching the forbidden subreddit)

          some of that stuff shocked me a bit at fiorst but only took me a few days to realize everyone was far more progressive then the so called “left as it gets” libs. also there was none of that reddit smarm and “personal responsibility, FAFO” BS.

          then I was riding the sub along with the pod during the Great Bernie Ratfuck finally made the stalin, lenin and mao posting no longer seem shocking but instead deeply prophetic

        I think part of the reason is that we’re their reminder that they aren’t “as left as it gets”. Which is why they push the “redfash” line so much, it’s how they cope.

        their big idea is to make it so that instances they dont like have way less influence without technically shadowbanning them, the way one of the guys working on it explained it to me is that basically theyre making it so lemmy.ml users’ upvotes are ignored by the algorithm and also their comments are put to the bottom on posts or something like that

    .Midwest supports Hexbear, but I don’t see as many of us posting out there. But you can see us if your looking at /all, correct? I don’t think we have many popular comms.

    .world is 80% shitlibs and 15% amateur leftists, or un-radicalized, but well meaning socdems. And 5% fucking idiots. This is just re: posts in comms and conversation (both .world and those federated) happening in the posts. Imo the conversation in the unimportant-but-popular comms on .ml look a lot like their (sometimes comparable in size) .world equivalent. But a lot more shitlib (and “you better fucking vote” [someone post me an emoji I can put there]) stuff posted .world memes and other such comms. Sometimes I see outright jabs at leftists (and I have downvotes so I use them), but mostly just stupid lib stuff.

    Also, I love seeing some of my Hexbear comrades out in the .ml and other discussions. I like your words @cowbee@hexbear.net !

    There are three types of takes out in the trenches. Standard “tankie” takes, standard “vote blue no matter who” shitlib takes, and bizarre, idiosyncratic takes that exactly one person on earth believes, but which they’ll treat as the most obvious thing in the world.

    Most recently, I was informed that Marxism is not worth studying on the basis that Marx culturally appropriated communism from indigenous Australians. PugJesus, one of the most prolific shitlib posters, has some great material on Marxism too.

    The bizarre, ideosyncratic takes always seem to circle back around to, “And that’s why you should vote blue no matter who, also China and Russia are committing genocide,” but they spice things up and you get to play this fun little game of trying to decipher the brainworms while they yell at you.

    The other instances (other tham .ml and lemmygrad) are increasingly genocidal and hate “tankies”. So about the same trajectory they’ve been on all along.
