I step out of Hexbear and into another instance for once and immediately get this shit lmao

I was letting off some steam about how sick and tired I am about working a shit job to make some asshole rich, and I made an off hand remark about how my employer probably belongs in a gulag. Further down the reply chain, this lemmitor asshole shows up to send me a whole tirade full of faux concern, breaking out the psychoanalysis to say I’m just an extremist full of unjustified hatred because I must be a bitter loser. Somehow they come up with this nuclear hot take comparing my anger at the capitalist class to a Christian fundamentalist hating gay people.

But the fucking cherry on the top here is sending me this comment as their very first interaction with me and proceeding to instantly block me to deny me the chance to reply at all. I’ve seen others use the block feature as a means of getting the last word in, but never to get both the first and last word in at the same time. And in the end, this self-unaware lib ends up calling me the overly self righteous one. Perfect.

Tbh, what gets me is that they were so fucking close to getting it. They almost came to an accurate understanding of the fact that my material conditions as a poor person getting fucked over day in and day out by my employer stealing my labor will heavily inform my politics. But of course they never quite reach that point, instead bizarrely veering off into psychologizing me, and acting like this is all just some sort of character flaw on my part.

    Once again completely ignoring the content of the post from OP in favor of policing procedure and decorum. Pure fucking LIBERALISM mao-wtf

    Again, what do you even believe?? If you defend positions that boil down to “you only want a revolution cause you have a bad life and are envious” then what’s left of “leftism”? And do you defend the post, either its content or its tone? You haven’t said a single thing about it except to complain about how other people are talking about it.

      Your reading comprehension needs work. I am not tone policing. I’m not complaining about you commenting on that poster. Feel free to dunk as much as you want. I only point out it’s hypocritical on your end to label the whole instance as fake leftists.

      Y’all are so desperate to be right that you keep trying to assign actions to me that I’m not taking.

          Not all instances go around banning everyone at the drop of a hat. Not all people interpret as uncharitable as hexbears either.

                No ive been pretty specific, ive never been to db0 and have no idea what the content is there, im here to use this one site. but it seems pretty whack to defend a neolib and hexbear has no business being associated with a place thats open to doing that.

                Dunno why were federated if what everyone else is saying about your users who wander here is true.

                  I mean you’re projecting your own bad faith and dislike onto us. I don’t even think about hexbear until your peeps start sectarianism shit-flinging.
