Comment on Dethroning lemmy.ml, lemm.ee rises as the second most active instance
Psythik@lemm.ee 1 year agoI wish lemm.ee would block Hexbear. I’m all for socialism and whatnot but those people are nuts. They make MAGAts look good.
It’s funny how for those who Hexbear is to their left, always use the critique of “they’re crazy” then compare us to right wingers without fail.
Absolutely no actual critique and the typical liberal understanding of politics that “there are only two teams, and if you’re not on mine then you’re on theirs”
Please read a book
Thats because a lot of lemmy users see right wing as being evil.
The reality is the right is not evil. Supporting genocidal dictators like Stalin and Mao is.
Who did Mao genocide?
The great leap forward.
Here, read this. washingtonpost.com/…/giving-historys-greatest-mas…
I’ve seen posts of Hexbears saying they’ll vote for Trump, with no pushback from anyone else.
I had a Hexbear today tell me that it’s okay that Russian soldiers rape women and children in Ukraine because ML’s support violence for their cause and that’s just how it is.
It’s a small minority of Hexbears who hold abhorrent positions, but the rest of Hexbears tolerate them.
Does that particular Hexbear know that raping is wrong?
What I suspect the Hexbear will tell you is that NATO has committed large scale crimes and NATO soldiers have also raped women, you just won’t hear about it on western media because it doesn’t fit their imperialist propaganda narrative.
:pigpoop: :lib:
God I am glad that emojis are broken right now. I never want to see more poopy pig balls, especially from people who lib is the far right.
liberals have universally allied with fascists over communists. the liberals in the Weimer Republic put Hitler in power, to give but one example. Churchill admired Hitler.
Both liberals and fascists agree that capitalism is the bee’s knees, they agree that most things should be privatized, they agree that people must be exploited by an elite. There’s a common saying - “If you scratch a liberal, a fascist bleeds,” meaning that the second you exert even the slightest violence towards liberals or threaten to do so, they suddenly turn into fascist monsters, seemingly out of nowhere! Macron in France is a good current-day example - the riots have prompted him to turn France into ever more of a police state in which the pigs have unbelievable powers and surveillance. When America has been provoked by actions (many of which didn’t even actually happen, e.g. the Gulf of Tonkin, the Nayirah testimony, etc (or those that did happen but didn’t need to provoke an entire invasion in response, like 9/11) they start wars that kill hundreds of thousands, even millions.
It’s actually hard to describe exactly where liberals and fascists have opposing beliefs. I suppose where they differ is whether the cruelty should be more obscured or more out in the open?
especially from people who lib is the far right
Liberalism has always allied themselves with the far-right as an ideology that protects capital. We just know this because we read/stody theory and have kept up with things going on around the world, especially recently. That being said,
:horsepoo-theory:
Bigot
Bigot
No, not really. You guys have just made it insanely easy to identify yourselves. I always double check to make sure it’s hexbear.net, don’t worry.
That’s very open minded of you. Thank u
Nah bro you’re a bigot. I regret starting this discussion.
let’s go jackass
😔
There’s quite a few instances with pronouns, which is great.
Hexbear stands out to me for using double sets of pronouns, presumably because twice as many pronouns means you’re twice as progressive, and therefore twice as superior to people with only one set of pronouns.
Dude no
Haha. 💯
You are indeed a simple man.
I wish it didn’t block them. I can block individual instances and the instance of commenters is in plain view, just block them as you encounter them if they come of as too strong. They have some decent communities where sometimes there’s interesting things to read. Basically only some of the LGTB ones but yeah.

no we don’t, you’re just mad you aren’t the noblest position possible and you lash out at us when we critique you from the left.

“I’m all for socialism as long as it looks and feels just like capitalism and all the inhuman death and killing that comes along with it because at my heart I’m a selfish self centered lib who is quite happy to see minorities and working class people domestically and abroad killed to maintain my cushy standard of living. Read a book and learn what actual socialism and leftism means? No chance, I use my paper thin knowledge of politics and my middle of the road positions to impress whoever listens to me because I know nobodies smart enough to Google why I’m a liar when I talk about politics and demonising actual leftists as extremists gives my vapid centrist soc dem takes more clout when everyone huffed up on anti communism and crypto fascism. Sadly for me hexbear do know more than me and call me out for being the bloodthirsty callous lib I am and it makes me piss my pants and cry when it happens because I don’t want to take any social responsibility for the exploitation is benefit from waah waah”
Or something to that effect.
Psythik@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Uh no. Quit putting words in my mouth.
See my reply to the person you just replied to, cause I don’t feel like typing this shit out twice.
Tastysnack@hexbear.net 1 year ago
Lmao no
Psythik@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Uh what? I have no idea what any of that means.
I just don’t like Hexbear cause they talk shit about liberals. Only MAGAts and Hexbear users hate liberals.
I miss /r/LateStageCapitalism, a community made of actual communist liberals, unlike Hexbear which is just full of rage baiting trolls. But I’ll never go back to reddit again.

“Communist liberal” is incoherent nonsense. Liberalism is a capitalist ideology that promotes private ownership of the means of production, communism subsequently doesn’t, they are contradictory ideologies.
FaeDrifter@midwest.social 1 year ago
Absolutely false. It espouses private ownership. This can mean your own clothes, your own phone, your own computer, your own house, your own sentimental belongings, instead of everything being communally shared.
It is possible for the means of production, like factories, to be communally owned, while still allowing for small personal private ownership. You can strike a balance between liberalism and private ownership, and communism and communal ownership.
It’s not a black and white binary choices between “everything is private” and “everything is communal”.
Psythik@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Things are not so black and white. It’s possible to like ideas from both sides, without having to fully subscribe to a single idealogy.

yeah magat… what trump supporters want universal healthcare, decommodification of housing, defunding the police, defunding the military, open borders, free college, and to send american war criminals to stand trial at the hague or in the countries they committed their crimes against?
how illiterate do you have to be to hear what socialists want and think “yeah they support trump”?
