Hello as you’ve read from the title I’m a Palestinian who lives currently in the occupied territories of Palestine known as the West Bank ,my friend is a moderator here and he told me I should make a post introducing myself ,I once looked up “for Reddit but for leftists” and this is the site that I found ,anyways I personally love reading Manga ,Books,and Playing Chess
I am a Marxist Leninist ,can you believe the username Mohammed is not taken ? ,my friend told me that this space was too “white” but I didn’t think he was that right
Anyways Nice to meet you all
This space is, regrattably, extremely white lol
Welcome comrade!
Yes I can see that 😅

Lmao good 👍
Hey, fam. A good suggestion, as always.
We also have a more mixed demographics over at the news megathread (Bulletin and News Discussions, pinned at the top) but that’s only if you’re interested in international geopolitics as that’s what most of the discussions there are about.
Ofc I am interested in those things ,I’m just sick of seeing the comments of reactionaries
Glad this exists
The reactionaries on the lemmyverse will often show up to do single drive-by comments here on Hexbear, but they never do it in the news mega because they fear our power and effortposting
What type of reactionaries are they exactly?
Mostly standard NATO-loving liberals, because we’ve defederated from the explicitly fascist lemmy instances, but there are still assholes who make accounts to try to “troll”, but it always just comes across as really sweaty and sad
HOW ARE THEY HERE 😭
FUCK NATO
IN JAHANAM INSHAALLAH
the lemmy liberal posts are always fun because they are relatively few, and always get dogpiled by our commie posting supersoldiers
good
Great! I think the community has done a pretty good job putting down reactionaries in these spaces so there is no need to worry about reactionary comments.
Yea Ik that’s why I joined
Yeah, there’s no denying the melanin deficiency here, but I think most of us are able and willing to recognize the privilege we have that comes along with being bleach demons. Speaking for myself at least, and from what I’ve seen it’s true of much of the community around here, we are learning to stfu and listen when a person of color tells us we’re wrong, misunderstand something, or are just being dumbass crackers. So feel free to put us in our place when that happens. I’d like to think that most of the community here will appreciate it rather than immediately get defensive and chauvinistic like most other chromatically bland spaces. Anyway, welcome!
Reddit is filled with crackers that don’t know their place 😆
And I mean It seriously here ,yk the racist comments they make like “The Middle East has been at war for centuries” (which are blatantly wrong)
Absolutely. Reddit is a cesspit of white western chauvinism. A lot of us here are banned from reddit for daring to point this fact out to them. We’re not only anti-reddit around here, we frequently make fun of how ridiculous or disgusting the reddit fascists and libs are over in our dunk tank comm.
Good 👍
I wanna dunk on crackers ,especially Reddit liberal crackers
You should be right at home here, then.
And I know that 🫡
I believe the Dunk Tank is for that specificallt
just like the server
bleach demons
Lmaooooooo

holy shit lmao
I was just telling him about this exact thing before he came here.
This space is, regrattably, extremely white lol
Idk if we’ve ever done an official poll, and even if we did we’re anonymous so there no way to confirm results. But anecdotally I’d say this site seems a bit better than most English language online spaces. Still plenty of
but I’d say we’re far better than 
Yep that place has a suffocating aura around it
I guess because a lot of users came from the ChapoTrapHouse podcast or whatever it is, attracts more white people
I can see that
You have our full support whether your resistance is violent or nonviolent.
🫡
We don’t have demographic data for obvious reasons, but yeah, we could stand to have more non white members join, but unfortunately that’s the state of the western left in the US.
er… was this meant for a different thread?
No. I’m responding to the op post. Their friend said this forum was too white.
It was an addendum to my original comment.
oh i see, im an idiot lol… i didn’t even see the “too white” comment
Hello, everyone, this is also a friend of mine so, please, err, be kind to 'em.
Don’t worry 😉
all palestinian violence against israel is self-defense.

Welcome comrade. This site has a collection of extremely good emotes that you can use to decorate your posts, probably the best collection out there. Enjoy your stay!
I Will hopefully
Welcome
we have our problems, but it’s usually fun as long as we’re not doing a pointless struggle session on something silly or confusing new users by speaking in weird terms that exist only on hexbear.Also we love posting
to lib/fash trolls that wander in trying to start bad faith fights with us (though some think we do it too much).Enjoy our oversized emojis
I like them
Consider the humble Denguin…
As the only actual leftist on this site, I say welcome aboard!
I thought that was me. Are we the same person?
Everyone, including you, is my alt

I guess you have 2 now 😊
Salam and I’m glad you’re here! I hope you know Palestine has the support and admiration of communists and anarchists all over the world. We’re you’re comrades and we’ll all work together for a brighter future.
Also we’re really gay and trans and we like memes and pictures of owls
I am a communist why are you telling me 😅
I know ofc
❤️ U
Saludos Mohammed. The resilience and strength of the Palestinian resistance is being watched by those of us in the global south and has become a source of inspiration to many. Some of our governments may be beholden to Israel but there are many of us who wish to see Palestine be freed from colonial rule and oppression.
I know that and I’m happy that it’s true
Welcome! I hope we aren’t too weird and you enjoy the place.
Don’t worry I’m weird too otherwise I would not be here
Yay! Enjoy your stay!
Thanks 😆
from a comrade Down South👋
I look forward to seeing you around comrade. What sorts of books and manga? Chess is interesting but I am lousy at it, anyone who knows how to play that without losing miserably every time is someone to respect…
Not much of a romance Manga reader but I will read anything if I’m slightly interested ,for books I like pretty much everything that isn’t self help ,I don’t think there’s something inherently wrong with them but they just don’t interest me ,I like fiction generally
Lately for manga I’ve been reading Aria (in Japanese!) and Akane-banashi, for books I’ve tended to read non-fiction usually about history or linguistics. Romance and self-help aren’t really things I’m too fond of either, but romance has maybe been growing on me a little more lately…
Aria and Aqua are the same series (Aqua is 2 volumes and Aria is directly after it)
Just a heads up you probably know that already
Yeah, but I never could figure out why it would change names like that…
Having trouble sleeping?
No it’s Ramadan and I woke up for “Sohor” [eating before the dawn addan]
See, I’m a vampire hiding amongst the foolish mortal humans, so I always have to check to see if somebody up at this hour might be one of my own! 🦇
So you’re like one hour ahead of me, which would mean that dawn would’ve probably just broken right about now. Was it a nice meal you had?
Yea it was nice ,my mom is a great cook
Palestine will never die, partly because there is someone with Dr. Tenma as their pfp living in the West Bank.
Lmao, Glad I did something right

Introducing you all to Mohammed.
Hello 👋
Don’t know what to call you here tbh 😆
“Pluto” is fine. Everyone here calls me Pluto. I’d rather you do that because I don’t want others knowing my other account on Discord (unless I invite them).
Pluto is one of my favorite Manga
Ah, so you know that one.
Wdym I know ,I legit said reading Manga is a hobby of mine ofc I know lol
NOICE
how does a planet have a discord? smh ive been lied to
Not mine.
One I worked on with BayArea415. It’s about 5 years-old.
Damn, that’s cool
How’s he doing lately? I know he took down his videos after getting doxed but I hope he’s doing alright
He’s alright, but it seems we lost contact a year or so ago.
