  • Take care of your mental health first and foremost. You’ll probably need it much more for actual revolutionary action in the future. Even as an optimist who is willing to entertain the thought of converting liberals to our cause, these people are I’m afraid too far gone in their Putin/China derangement syndrome. The best antidote for posts shitting on hexbear, is to just come here, lurk on it for awhile, and make up their own minds. It certainly helped me when at first, I too as an anarchist was quite skeptical of this place and thought it was some exclusive hangout of dem dirty “tankies”. But after lurking here for awhile, I realized this place was not only good, but much better than shit like .world and other instances. Not to mention being a history buff, and reevaluating my positions based on a lot of comments I saw here, realizing that although mistakes certainly were made among socialist movements throughout history (famines in ukraine, the four pests) ultimately these movements did a lot more good than bad throughout and ultimately caught up to the west, even though the aforementioned had a 100 year head start and exploited and pillaged half the world to get where they are now.








  • Isn’t Trump kinda the one to bring that about tho? Idk much about howard dean, but I assume he was at least somewhat respected as a politician beforehand. With that scream, in a kind of patriarchical society creating a mythos of education and prestige around politicians, revolving around political etiquette that scream is simply seen as infantile and unserious. Trump entered politics as that kind of infantile and unserious candidate in the first place, being a cartoonish, stereotypical, Saul Goodman-esque figure. In the end, it’s all about expectations that people set. Nobody believed agent orange would win, but in the end he did because he represented a kind of tonal shift in american politics, not to mention straight up saying what all these bourgeois politicians already believed anyway. In the same way LGBTQIA+ want to practice their sexuality without the fear of being killed, beaten or prosecuted, that is the same way in the opposite direction in which fascists want to freely express their racist, sexist, homophobic views without any consequences. Trump said these things out loud, and republicans found him ‘cool’ because he didn’t beat around the bush, at least in the public, about their true beliefs.

    Ultimately, Trump isn’t some anomaly. He’s just a natural unmasking of the fascist paradigm of amerikkka.





  • Unless you are playing with your friends, I feel like it’s just better to pirate it since the dlcs come with the game, instead of having to do those creamapi shenanigans (especially for me since I’m on linux).

    I know Paradox is a shitty company at this point with their dlc policy and whatnot, but I sincerely hope they don’t fuck up EU5 timmy-pray especially considering the fact that how it’s looking in the dev diaries, it’s basically gonna be a combination of CK, Victoria and EU. Playing that and Elden Ring (when I eventually find enough money to buy the PC for it) and I don’t have to play another video game for the rest of my life.
