I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Nope. They seem pretty sane and rational in comparison to places like Reddit, Lemmy.world, Twitter, 4chan, Facebook, etc.

        That persons instance and hexbear are defederated. It’s unlikely they’re a secret hexbear user.

          Yep, to be clear ideologically I fall more into the “queer anarchist” camp and am not an authoritarian communist.

          I know that hexbear is mostly old chapotraphouse posters who are more in the Marxist-Leninist camp. I don’t agree with them on many things, but I think their brand of being rude and insulting to capitalists and liberals is valid and kind of funny.

          Not only is capitalism morally reprehensible and responsible for colonisation, white supremacy, inequality, and genocide. It’s also just a really stupid and nonsensical system that expects infinite growth within a system with finite resources. It’s a death cult with the growth pattern of cancer. Continuing with that system in spite of decades of empirical evidence that it is leading our world into collapse is completely insane in my opinion. People who believe in that shouldn’t be reasoned with, they should be insulted.

          Anyway on first glance through hexbear I didn’t see anything “completely insane”. However if I go to somewhere like Reddit what I see is the complete insanity of people justifying and making excuses for morally reprehensible systems such as capitalism and acts of genocide.

          I think liberals and centrists view themselves as being rational and reasonable when they’re not at all.

            I feel like a lot of the wider lemmy users surprised by hexbear users haven’t met very many trans people, because autistic transfems showing up in fly Soviet military surplus is not exactly out of the ordinary at a trans event.

            The screeching communist/queer anarchist sixth international unified front with the collaborative goal of placing all liberals, conservatives and centrists in reeducation camps

              I’m not a tankie lol. I’ll use this opportunity to encourage everyone to vote for Kamala Harris though, and to say fuck hexbear and it’s smooth brained users.

                oh sorry for assuming all of .ml users are tankies, please go switch to another instance though as you will be categorized as a tankie.

          What a disingenous comment. Having two accounts of two defederated instances makes even more sense than having them on two federated instances.

            Did you see how the person in question replied directly to my comment with “yep, you’re right”?

            I wonder if it’s possible to be disingenuous and deadass, stone cold, half court buckets right…
