    I know it’s beating a dead horse but it’s hard to come up with a better summary of liberals than this constant occurance.

    Reddit was ruined by neoliberals looking to silence anybody left of Hillary and maximize it’s value to advertisers so a bunch of communists made a more equitable equivalent that avoided all the obvious pitfalls of capitalism.

    Then a bunch of liberals got pissed that they got exactly what they wanted and didn’t like reddit anymore so came to the site made by communists for communists to avoid the pratfalls of communism and then insist the site would be better if they had their way and it was exactly like the last site they destroyed.

      If liberals actually learned anything from history they wouldn’t be liberals.

    it really just boils down to a handful of wannabe power users that expected this place to be like reddit where they get showered in upvotes and adoration for simply saying “DAE GYNA BAD?”, but instead they get a 20-minute temp ban which is all it takes for them to start dry heaving over the evil authoritarian tankie triad that denied them the dopamine rush that was promised to them 1000 years ago.

      They have threads like this very often and usually it’s the same 3 or 4 users who debate the libs. Cowbee, BrainInABox, Diva, and one more I’m forgetting. But what makes me very frustrated is that a few users on the lib side of the argument insist that the leftist users are nothing but dogmatic trolls without any argument. In general there’s just a lot of baseless accusations thrown around in these kinds of threads: they claim that we support Putin, that we don’t have trans users and it’s just people pretending, that anarchists aren’t allowed on Hexbear, that we’re bots, etc. But when a few users who are literal evidence against those claims (being critical of Russia, trans, anarchists, obviously not bots) respond to the accusations they’re dismissed as trolls!

        Yeah these are the snarky dishonest libs who have their egos invested in “winning”, but don’t actually know anything. Consequently, they lie and change the subject asap. They’re the thing they are claiming to be against: dogmatic, eager to troll, supporting every war and leader they’re told to by their (in this case corporate) leaders.

        Their insecurity is hard to fully describe.

    real fucking rich for this loser of all people to be talking about tankies.

    This person described themselves as an “eco-fascist” twice and whined about woke ideology

    image

    Supported apartheid in Palestine, straight up anti-communist too

    image

    and mods an anti ML community with the EU flag, a neoliberal imperialist institution.

    image

    This fucking asshole is either at best a teenager and a neoliberal, at worst an unironic fascist.

    I banned them on my instance and i talked to the head admin of blahaj before, but they didn’t ban them because that person claimed “they didn’t know what eco-fascist means” real convenient fucking excuse.

      It keeps happening every single time. Every time these people complain about getting banned or complain about tankies or whatever, check the modlog and there they are plain as day being a racist or something. Without fail, they’re transphobes, imperialists, racists, exists, etc.

        I watched the admin happy allow for 1 user (not blahaj user) to do multiple witch hunts against a blahaj user because they hated the comm they modded. Did absolutely nothing until same user started attacking admin then suddenly it needed to be dealt with

      So by that mod saying they didn’t know what an eco- fascist meant, they’re also saying they’re: not looking it up, not guessing based on the root words, and not asking for clarification.

      Idk how people think saying shit like that helps them look better that’s crazy lol

        They made a post about me on that fuck ML community 1 month ago and just reposted it to YPTB on an alt (while pretending they’re not that person) lol

        Usually this shit drags my mental health down, but it’s a fascist shithead so i’ll take their word much less valuably. I’m starting to hold resentment for Blahaj.

          Damn, sorry to hear that, comrade. For what it’s worth, after the reactionaries posted the first few posts on MWoG about me, I stopped caring. Every single one of their posts about me is either me being correct, them taking me out of context, or their own misunderstanding of theory or history. Because the criticism isn’t coming from knowledgeable comrades but instead reactionaries, it doesn’t matter, and doesn’t mean I’m incorrect in any way and need to correct myself and do better.

          The same should apply to you. If a reactionary is mad at you, it does not matter unless they stand to do you real harm IRL. Comradely critique is valuable, but the whining of fascists just means you’ve twisted their nerves.

            Thanks cowbee, it’s always a good experience talking to you

            While i was a staunch “anti-ml” last year and seemed to believe that HB/ML was incredibly toxic, i’ve found it more friendly and healthy to be on in comparison to the other instances, largely because i actually decided to listen to what you had to say for once :) The others feel just infested with toxicity and fascists like the user above

            It’s not the first time you’ve told me that piece of advice but I still need to take it at heart somehow 😁 but after the initial shock of seeing a negative post against myself, i think what i did was justified anyway so i can sleep soundly knowing an eco-fascist hates me lmao. Thanks comrade!

              Aww, thanks comrade! That’s again very sweet of you to say. I know it’s easy to say “just don’t care about them,” but I absolutely did used to care even knowing that. They got under my skin, frustrated me, and angered me. My solution was just to read more and actually start organizing IRL, to essentially prove to myself that I do indeed generally know what I’m talking about and that it’s the reactionaries that are wrong. Not caring about them is a skill that takes everyone a varying degree of time to overcome, for me it took a decent while.

              One thing about yourself is that even when you were anti-ML, you still had it within you to desire to learn more and overcome your own biases. This is something internal to you and your character that has been a joy to see develop over time. I know we don’t likely 100% agree or anything, but I can trust that you’ll continue to grow and develop into an even better comrade over time, and I can only hope that I similarly grow and develop.

              Good luck on your studies, comrade!

              As a side note, have you seen The Long 15? Looks like a great new mod, been meaning to dip back into New Vegas for a while now.

                Actually i haven’t, lately i’ve been playing Tale of two wastelands using https://wastelandsurvival.guide/ , but just checking it, it looks like a good mod. I love they include old shady-sands style NCR settlements, like how Fo1/Fo2 actually did it, and they make an NCR settlement actually living places that you’d imagine how a west coast game would look. I used to always include those old NCR style buildings mod just for lore accuracy and the fact they’re pretty lol

                I don’t think i’ve ever seen such a large mod either, but clearly they put tons of effort and thought into it, + a lot of patches even for TTW! so i’m confident it’ll work well, i’d say it’s worth giving a good shot; sounds exciting

                Holy shit they add the boneyard and the hub 🥳 10/10 mod already

                  Love the wasteland survival guide! Had an awesome run with it about a year ago. The mod just has Baker and the surrounding areas, so no Hub, Boneyard, or Dayglow as far as I know, but it’s very high quality from what I’ve seen! I actually played through The Frontier out of morbid curiosity when it came out, bigger isn’t always better, but the Long 15 seems to be really nice! There’s also more Brahmin Baron content, NCR corruption, etc.

                  If you like the originals, I think you’ll love the trailer!
