I’ve made several alts over the years and it’s wild to see how badly wreckers fumble on sounding like a leftist.
I used to think I needed to build more credibility before making a post, but it’s not the case at all. If you’re cool and stay consistent in your values, people here are so willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks for being a cool community who bans transphobes, debate lords, and chuds.
You see it all the time with how they pretend to be black. They’ll type out some 1980s parody version of AAVE and think they sound convincing. My favorite, though, is the whole “As a life-long democrat, I’m no longer part of the looney left.”
Any actual leftist wouldn’t mention membership to the democratic party except as a source of radicalization lmao
My daddy Black. My mommy Black.
This isn’t about your subby throuple tyvm
When the “as a black” new account is sus:
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
The main problem with trolls and wreckers who pop up here is that they have no education, whether its politics in general or this site’s history
So when they start yapping like strawman versions of us, we spot them immediately
When a longer-term Hexbear account has a reactionary meltdown over a specific treat or struggle session, I sometimes wonder if they were some kind of more successful infiltrator that finally lost their patience and couldn’t wear the mask any longer. Sometimes those meltdowns are remarkable, almost like a shapeshifter losing their disguise shape.
If I can pointificate I would say it’s equally likely to just be someone who has a personal experience which gave them a reactionary stance on a specific issue, hence meltdown. Always wild to see a ban on a four year account tho.
I’m glad that HexbearGPT and their “ironic” edgy bullying and veiled bigotry was finally banned. Flew “ironically” too close to the sun at last.
And they registered right around the time FuckYourselfEndless was banned
Nah when I meltdown it’ll be because I’m emotionally unstable and have shit takes
I just assume 90% of people you perceive as good and well meaning have at least one very random and very bad opinion they feel very strongly about.
“Hello fellow leftists, I have this new ideology called “trickle-down anarchy” where the anarchy trickles down from the state! Pretty cool huh?”
My “favorites” are the ones who believe we’re all frothing NazBols who hate minorities
Sometimes we get nazbols here. Remember that “OrganizeOrDie” nazbol that was wishing death upon people with depression?
I do not in fact remember this person, and based on your description of them, that’s something to be thankful for.
They were called OrganizeOrDie, but they made something like ten alts over the next few days, screaming increasingly mass-murdery power fantasies about what (ableist slurs here) deserved for failing their idea of what real revolution ought to be.
NazBol
I understand that nazbol is an utterly incoherent (and basically entirely online) reactionary ideology, and maybe I’m naiive for thinking this (and I’m definitely not defending the abhorrent views many of them have, nor do I think they should ever be tolerated here), but does it not serve as a useful pipeline to salvage people from full blown nazism?
The way I see it, best case scenario, people initially drawn to nazbol are eventually forced to grapple with the inconherency and may end up deciding after a time that its reactionary features are not worth retaining, and may eventually just continue on down the communism pipeline. Worst case, they are marooned in what is essentially a dead end ideology with virtually zero real world organizing, but also end up being quite alienated from “full nazi” movements that do have real world organizing and real consequences.
I don’t know of any other political “pipeline” that is capable of moving people on the far right to the left so efficiently. I’m curious what others think about this.
on the contrary, it appropriates the language of the left and works to muddy the waters for those so inclined. We know where cloaking nationalism with socialism leads
I appreciate your honest answer. I do agree with what you’re saying, but at the same time I think people who already are firmly in the camp of “nazi” have a already had leftist language sufficiently muddied in their minds. Introducing (admittedly sometimes distorted) leftist concepts, and even the simple idea that “actually, Marx and Marxism are based” seems like it could only be an improvement when working backwards from nazism.
It’s not the approach id take or recommend, but we meet people where they’re at I suppose.
Still, I’m not of a kind to go meet nazbols let alone entertain them
I’ve met IRL nazbols cause Texoma is hell - They’re just Nazis who read some theory. The worst case is they organize other fascists using a fraud of socialist promises based on racial hierarchy.
Of the ones I’ve met - I would not say it is in any way possible to move them left. The false socialism is just to imagine a good place for themselves in the world - the brutal genocidal rage is the core of who they are and they’ll take that over everything.
Being egalitarian is just a bit.
Hi! What’s yiur favourite kind of violence to dole out on ‘normies’ and ‘right wingnuts’

Hello everyone I am new here my name is John Q Communist hey did you ever think that black people…
And then us old account havers get cancelled for having lawns! And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Dandelions 4 life! Unlimited weeds on the suburban world!
Did somebody actually get banned for (presumably) getting mad/hostile over a lawn discussion? lol, lmao even.
pronouns, cats, rocks, beans, lawns,
downbears, fedi drama, cooking oils,
Winter Soldier activation code words, but for Hexbears
Rocks and beans aren’t self explanatory, but I get how lawns and the rest are one via context of the dandelion comment (I think, gotta feed the bees).
Oh, and cooking oil. Who got mad over sesame oil oil or whatever lol.
rock stacking is bad and disrupts natural ecosystems, beans is a tagline, lawns are an affront to god
Oh, so it was about rock stacking out in nature. I get it, leave no trace type stuff.
Oh, and cooking oil. Who got mad over sesame oil oil or whatever lol.

It’s spillover drama from discord, might be the silliest/funniest of the bunch
We didn’t start the fire ~ ♪
My favorite was that one who simultaneously started a thread that seemed perfectly innocuous and normal while immediately tossing out slurs in another thread
It’s like, the site ain’t that big, you’re on the front page smearing yourself with shit and going “I am a normal leftist, like you all”
We have the best mods, don’t we folks? We love them so very much
“Hello fellow leftists, don’t you think we deserve a little revenge?”
russian guyovich would never
Ok I was offline for like… 20 hours tops. What happened this time?
Nothing to my knowledge. I was just reflecting on my new account and how nobody has ever given me shit while my alts were new.
Hexbear’s been pretty chill for the past couple years. Barring usual “I’m bored” tearing up the furniture when nothing in the news is getting our attention.
That Olympic break dancing person for example, saw the posts on that one and just said to my boyfriend “Hexbear is bored, musta been an all right day” and logged off.
reaching for butterfly
Is this quality assurance?
