Im going to link your conversation here, where people were giving you detailed responses and you just kept shrugging them off so others can judge for themselves:
Comment on Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?
EABOD25@lemm.ee 1 week agoI have to disagree with your last sentence. I do my best to treat people on the internet like I’m talking to them face-to-face. It’s the least that people deserve.

You can do these things while talking face-to-face with somebody.
Calling a whole bunch of different people with different opinions than you, that you don’t all know, “insane”, seems to me like you feel you are smarter/better than them.

Would you insult and belittle people in person? That’s what I’m referring to. You give them an opposing view and they go insane. I don’t care if they have a different opinion. Their opinion doesn’t impact my life. But if some of those people talked like that to people’s faces, they’d probably get punched

The times I went there with differing opinions I never got insulted. They think their views are right and (sometimes) mine wrong. They also shared their reasons and tried in their way to educate me. They have their own culture over there that is more rude/direct than normal, but it’s certainly possible to speak normally to them.

They have an entire sub called “thedunktank” that is about sending targeted harassment to specific users.

Don’t get me wrong. I’m spoke generally, but it’s impossible for everyone there to be crappy

Defending communist genocide wanabes with moral relativism makes me think you are neither smarter nor better than them.
Azzu@lemm.ee 1 week ago
I think all people deserve respect by default. Only through someone’s actions may the respect for them be rescinded. Calling a whole bunch of people something is just almost never correct and only furthers any already existing divide.

Yeah, no. For example once you join the Nazi party, you gave up your right to be given benefit of the doubt. I am not going to waste my time on a theory that maybe you are a good nazi.
Same goes for when you join hexbear.

Everyone does deserve to be treated with respect by default. Respect is earned, and is not the same thing.
Choosing to associate with certain groups is an action for which respect may be rescinded.
