something something specter something Lemmyverse
It’s that person that thought Putin wants to reinstate the USSR and refused to denounce Israel without equating Palestinian “guilt.”
They wandered into a dunk tank post, debate perverted, and whined on Lemmy.world
I’m dead
Pick a different one
@TheLepidopterists@hexbear.net you dropped this
That was good, Edie does great bits
Yeah there’s a commenter pointing that out in the thread and laughing at how bad the OP was at having a discussion
These are always salt posts by some shithead that got owned
It’s a circle

My client markdown renderer has been lying to me! ? ! ?
Are you using an app other than the default UI? It might handle things differently.
ya this was also always an issue on Reddit
there’s like hundreds different dialects of markdown out there (and a lot of it is also pretty ad hoc), so you end up in this situation where like every implementation renders things slightly differently

I’m flattered that they’re still malding over a comment I made more than a year ago. Dot world libs only wish they had that kind of posting power.
Read the Rom.

Folks is our reputation improving? I’m seeing pretty even splits in terms of people defending our instance vs. scratched libs. Some even saying we changed their minds on things.
Crumbling material conditions and the Palestinian genocide.
The US backing of Israel as well as the genocide getting more traction in the public mind has lifted the veil for a lot of “libs who only called themselves libs because they believed it was the left leaning side”.
You can tell the US is SUPER pissed that the truth about Palestine got traction. (The whole reason they want to ban TikTok is because they believe that was the weak link in their control of the narrative)
Yeah I think global platforms showing the genocide have been a massive problem for libs. It’s hard to feel morally superior to someone while you’re defending the people mutilating children on a post showing the mutilated kids. It starts to puncture the illusion of being the reasonable good guy when you’re telling people to ignore the bodies.

European libs with Telegram now too.
its hard to make us into a north korea situation when people can just come and see, the more we live rent free in their heads, the more they talk about us, the more people get curious and come look and its like, just anticapitalist memes and people posting cat pics
Which is pretty much how it went on reddit
I only joined 9 months ago but in the 4 or so months I was on lemm.ee y’all changed some of my perspectives on the DPRK
Propaganda works both ways. Keep up the posting comrades
I posted on the old sub for years and I didn’t come around on the dprk until I’d been here a couple years tbh.
Half of the comments are people defending us, with language that’s more persuasive than I could do myself. I’m honestly touched.
Yeah it seems like maybe real experience with us is changing opinion more broadly. I was expecting a dogpile.
We need to bring back the “fucking pooooost” culture of 2017-19. It’s been dead a while but the time is now.
We already see it with that Lemmy tracker someone posted last week that showed us at the top of “activity” beating out instances with a ton more “users”. Just like the Reddit days.
Hexbear is sort of like a village of eldritch abomination worshippers in a Lovecraftian horror story - isolated, insular, entirely wrapped up in their own esoteric rituals and ideas and language, and immediately and collectively hostile to outsiders.
The Shadow Over Hexxsmouth
What a self-tell: “oh no they’re acting too not normal in a way that seems exotic and frightening, and they stick up for themselves and don’t permit easy colonization and assimilation into subordinate status into my culture. They must be EVIL, like in the old racist white man’s treats!”
It’s so funny when anyone complains about “echo chambers” when talking about internet communities dedicated to specific themes/topics. If I wanted a dipshit neoliberal yapping I would go back to reddit.
If this were an echo chamber there’d be just one school of thought instead of like fifty. I think there’s hoxhaists in here
There’s even practicers of Juche necromancy
please, do not summon enver
Some of us have schools of thought so esoteric and irony pilled that we aren’t even sure where the bit ends and our real beliefs begin
me being so contrarian and steeped in irony I end up reading theory for joke material making me indistinguishable from a Marxist shitposter on a Russian bean recipe website
Why you gotta call people out like this? Why can’t you just let us have our fun?
Comparing this depiction with the reality of beanis-posting
I’ve always thought Innsmouth was cottagecore af so this checks out
No QT deep one gf tho :(
I think Dunwich is more cottagecore but also havent gotten around to reading Innsmouth yet, just know the basic plot beats
Fitting that they view people with a different opinion the same way reactionary-era Lovecraft viewed tribal people.
Or just like, Finnish people or something. Dude had an advanced degree in racism
Lovecraft was racist as fuck lmao
My favourite bit about Lovecraft was that he voted for Socialist Party, because he absolutely hated the poor and they promised to eliminate poverty.
This needs to be a tagline.
Synthesis. The student protestors are being funded by Dagon. Actually no, that seems like something somebody would say with no sense of humor about it.
That sounds like something Jordan Peterson would say tbh
New tag line?
We don’t even isolate ourselves. Other instances preemptively defederate with us
this makes us sound metal af and we are not nearly this cool, i fear
Fucking lol!
Genuinely impressed that is becoming known as a hack.
That sincerely gives me hope, even some hope for liberals. SOME.
Sorry,I think that’s an alt of someone on here,I’ve seen them before
Sorry to be the bearer of bad news,but I think that’s an alt of a hexbear or lemmygradian
I’ve seen them before
Great username there too.
You cited a known crackpot
I tried explaining who Zenz is to that user here when one of the websites he used had 5 sources from other different websites who ALL go back to Zenz.

I’ve never heard of communism being an economic framework before, I thought it just meant a system without capitalism or a state. Do you have something short I could read about communism being an economic framework?
Ya’ll need Marx
That was a painful 2 sentences to read.
what in tarnation
tier understanding of communism.
I replied and offered a couple works I think would help, we’ll see if anything happens
I downloaded the blackshirts and reds pdf, so there’s something
Have you watched Yellow Parenti? It’s a great primer.
I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Nice! That’s a great book on demystifying the USSR, shining light on what it actually was like, and why it actually collapsed.
one of my favorites, enjoy!
That’s an excellent start, I love parenti
You should also watch the yellow parenti lecture:

That’s a fantastic read and works pretty well as an intro
yeah im insane. insanely cool and attractive
that’s SO true

If you’re saying I’m calling their viewpoints crazy, I’m not. I didn’t get a view point besides I’m pig slop, a piece of shit, brainwashed by the empire (whatever the hell that means), stupid, a basement dweller, and today, I think they called me a pervert
TAGLINE
This is my exact same experience. I ask for someone to elaborate on their stance, get told (not accused, told) I’m trolling. Ask for explanation/definition of a concept, get called an idiot shitlib and told to read some theory. Ask for civility, get told I deserve abuse for “endorsing genocide”. (By the way, I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I’m a genocide supporter I guess because I won’t flush my vote third party this November.)
tfw Hexbear wants you to vote third party??? Who is advocating for this???
I absolutely oppose the genocide in Gaza. But I guess I’m a genocide supporter just because I will be voting for the Genocide Party in November?
You see, even though I’m voting for the genocide party, I don’t support genocide because I’m voting against the geociderer party.
I mean…
So explicitly supporting genociders makes you a genocide supporter now? Tankies…
A lot of us do say vote PSL or something, but that’s secondary to not voting red/blue
They always make these wild claims about us calling them all kinds of mean things yet never provide any links of us doing those things.
They keep saying mean things about me, like “You smell” and “did you shit your pants” and “I can see the shit stains from here”. They are mean and acting in bad faith by even suggesting I shit my pants!
I’ll vote PSL not cause I think electoralism is the answer more just to pump them numbers up so people see leftists like, exist in the US
Dude wanted people to debate me bro as an experiment and didn’t understand why no one would do that.
Wonder when they’ll have their next account pop up here
insane?
FROM THE VERY START the enlightened centrist starts with “dae everyone I don’t like mentally ill and that makes them bad and wrong?”

New tagline just dropped
I am again reminded that all right-wing politics is projection.
I see this posted from time to time and today I finally read through the whole thing. Very compelling and evocative. You see the manifestations of this form in those southern megachurches. Joel Osteen is like a simulacrum of this inversion of religion under the social relations of capital. He has synthesized Christian Faith and Capital Accumulation, creating in effect a Christianity skin suit for this “Real God”, in which to parade it out into the open.
You must sacrifice a portion of your wages to the church in the form of a seed in the hopes that it will one day bloom into a bountiful harvest. It is a similar myth to the one expressed by the preachers of Capital. Sacrifice your time, your money, in service of a future return on your investment. In both, a lack of success is only the manifestation of a lack of sacrifice and commitment to this social order on your part, and in no way a failing of the “gods” for which you are toiling for.
Like a house of mirrors, our social institutions are reflected against the mirror of capitalism, warping their intended form against the shape of capitals demands. The longer you stare into this twisted reflection, the more likely you are to be convinced it to be the true form, until you can no longer recall what the original form was, or that it even existed at all.
since '23.
You even rhymed!
This should be the official tagline
they’re less like the meeting room of a communist party than like the bar where those communists hang out and drink beer, after the meeting is over.
I actually really like this description. I’m amazed at the number of people in this thread who actually somewhat get it. It’s heartening <3
Thats a really cute description of hexbear. Feels nice
hell yeah
That’s exactly why I love it here. I can just be myself, no need to walk on eggshells or fear being misunderstood, and I don’t always have to resort to debatebroing. I dunno if many people here recognized me from my older Lemmy.ml account, but debatebroing was all I did, and it got tiring. I still do it, but far less frequently and I enjoy my time here a lot more!
Basically, it’s a super cozy space here and I love y’all for welcoming me here
Also would love for that to be a tagline
the people blocking blahaj 196 for being too left wing lmfao
