Upton Sinclair once wrote, “It is difficult to get a man to understand something, when his salary depends on his not understanding it.” He was mostly right, this is also true about personal identity.

From spending a bunch of time hanging around in anti-conservative libertarian spaces, I met a bunch of people in the early years of this movement (and in the spirit of full disclosure, I did occasionally use the spirit of communism as a repudiation of thoughtless defenses of capitalism). It’s absolutely about anticapitalism and a reactionary swing 100% in the opposite direction. And when anti-capitalism is the only motivator, you haven’t argued yourself into a position based on reason, and therefore, your chosen position is unassailable by reason.
Because these people are not operating in good faith, though even I am a bit surprised at how well this “herp derp mask off” thread is being received, even for hexbear.
The site seems to be imploding a bit after federation tbh. At first they were trying to be all “hey libs look at how intellectual redfash can be” but it seems like they didn’t get many takers and are now just going full poe’s law
Could you imagine how many people would completely nuked that guy if he was defending Hitler?
I don’t get it. How can someone not recognize they’re doing the same thing, just changing the names?

No, they get it. If you were around for “hitler did nothing wrong,” you’d recognize that they’re just trying to be assholes.
