    150-200 users

    Huh you don’t say?

    So that was a fuckin lie.

    Pretty sure this is one of the most active instances in the entire fediverse despite these nerds trying to scare people away from us through unscrupulous campaigns of lies and slander.

      to be way nicer than the shithead OP deserves, the claim is 150-200 before the reddit exodus. of course, that claim is bullshit too especially considering it didnt count people who upvoted but didnt comment in the past

    This user’s post is so wrong.

    1. First accusation is that it’s more radical and mean than CTH was. I don’t agree, CTH was fucking nuts at times. They’re presenting it like it was a socdem space and this has gone way further left than it but you’re talking about the subreddit that was banned for saying slavers should be killed and that spez is a slaver lmao. The sub practically went out of its way to be edgy and get banned. Moderation here is way tamer and less crazy.
    2. Second accusation is that the site “dwindled” from any users to few. This ain’t true either, hexbear is more active now than it has been.
    3. There was never any divide over Russia-Ukraine. This user is literally making it up. There’s definitely never been cheering over killing of civilians, you lying neoliberal fuckhead. Treating war like a football game? Projection.
    4. “I went to therapy and it saved me” lmao libs literally always resort to “go to therapy” for fucking everything. Biggest giveaway this is a neoliberal larping.
    5. “Now I look back on my several years as a hexbear user” you’re absolutely full of shit mate.

    This is a neoliberal that’s skimmed the place a few times. Nothing more.

    I started as alt-right, realised I actually like queerness. Then I went communist, realised murder is childish and how much I was being played and then decided to do my own thing.

    Literally nobody in the left WANTS murder. We’re just not naive enough to think that the transition of power will ever be allowed to be peaceful. We’d love that, frankly, but every time that’s been tried it has resulted in millions of communists being murdered without any means to defend themselves. The means to defend ourselves are necessary and we expect violence to be necessary because the ruling class will not allow a peaceful transition. That’s NOT being pleased with the idea of murder at all. It’s just understanding that peaceful revolution is not really allowed for what we want.

      Right? Like no one is telling you that you have to wreck your mental health by focusing all your energy into how fucked we are but dont live in delusion. Especially when younger people are going to face the consequences.

      Lol these fools forgot that fucking jailbait amd was one of the biggest instances on reddit. i think even the most busy. Also congrats on the painstaking built community cheering kids killed in palestine and lebanon on many political subs.

      of course you dont feel like you imported a sense of community, you guys directly imported as much of reddit culture as you could, including the fearmongering over tankies

    Was it alt-right or communism for you?

    I started as alt-right, realised I actually like queerness. Then I went communist, realised murder is childish and how much I was being played and then decided to do my own thing.

    So they started with embracing hate, then embraced communist aesthetics (presumably to be edgy while not understanding the communist analysis), and then finally, they decided that the status quo where murder happens conveniently mostly out of sight of the imperial cores and everything stays the same is best, because all those people resisting the empire are upset for (some reason)?

        basically just an NPC

        Honestly I hate this framing, it’s used a lot by the fascists to dehumanize people for not thinking exactly like them.

        The user is just a fucking lib, and always has been.

        There’s also the title of the thread calling the hexbear “racist”, which I can’t find even the distorted lib version of from reading the post.

          my best guess from reading through blakeus12’s original thread is that he calls himself an amerikkkan and maybe goat, top mind of sh.itjust.works that they are, saw the kkk and thought it was racist somehow? i dont know only other thing i could think is that it’s racist against rural white people to say you’re from dumbfuck no where? normally id just say it’s because someone used the word cracker but it’s not even said by any of the top level comments in the screenshot so i’m grasping at straws here.

    Yeah hexbear should be more like the rest of the internet where russians, africans, chinese or anyone with a bit of melanin be subject to blood poison rhethoric and the suggestion of nuking undesirable countries are seen as a joke. And genocide is justified because “they were not angels”.

    I have a lot of criticisms that I both do and don’t share regarding this shithole website, which I have been on since day one (not this account), but not once have I seen people cheer for the deaths of Ukrainian civilians. Off-duty soldiers? Yeah, probably, but those are still soldiers.

      i’d be interested to hear them sometime feel free to dm me, i’ve generally found a lot of the stuff you’ve posted to be pretty insightful in the past even if I haven’t agreed with all of it
