Comment on Who knew 1989 was an uneventful year in China
PopOfAfrica@lemmy.one 10 months agoHexbear is more or less a 4Chan equivalent, sharing the same memes and single image posting behavior. They exist to make left leaning people look bad.
Their supposed communism is equivalent to start an argument online with “as a black man”
Just a bunch of right wing trolls.

This is the take that bothers me the most, as if the most aggressive and outspoken faction of any group exist only to drag the more respectable members down by association.
I would be one thing to say, “I don’t understand that group”, but it’s quite remarkable to say, “I understand that group so little that they must be the opposition in disguise”

Eh, only a small minority of hexbears are fascists, but almost all hexbears tolerate fascists. All the fascists have to do is walk in and say “NATO is bad, Ukraine is bad, libs are bad, vote for Trump because he is a big lovable goofball” and the other hexbears are like aight let’s own the shitlibs.

It’s blatant though? They use right wing talking points for everything and it’s all dog whistles?

“Geopolitics exists as a binary, and on some issues they agree with the opposite binary from me”.
Worse actually, “they might agree with me on one issue but they disagree on another, so they must be pretending to agree with me to begin with”

On hexbear, geopolitics exists as whatever hexbears feel like owns the shitlibs the most at that particular moment.
Sometimes, Russia is just months away from a well planned and strategized victory, against an evil Nazi Ukraine.
Other times, everything is a mastermind NATO move that’s all benefiting NATO, and Ukraine is just the meatgrinder victim.
What feels most alt-right about hexbear isn’t any particular position, but the fact that there’s no particular position. No logical cohesiveness, no rooted in solid reality. It’s superfluid ever changing dream reality.

Again, they are “left wingers” supporting far right regimes. Its bit that big a consipracy
archomrade@midwest.social 10 months ago
Just a point of clarification: you think the USSR was a far-right regime?
wanderingmagus@lemm.ee 10 months ago
They didn’t say the USSR, they said modern day China and Russia
