Hexbear is an aggressively inclusive space full of thoughtful people who are passionate about making the world a better place and educating their fellow man. If every online space were more like hexbear we'd all be much better off
Oh yeah back in the good old days of /r/jailbait and /r/creepshots and /r/sexwithdogs
Lol.. so inclusive wanting to bring down America, listing out a bunch of people you’d love to get rid of (anyone you consider bourgeoise), unyielding fanboying of China…
I think the overall Lemmy experience has gone downhill since hexbear federated. I also think seeing the propaganda posts constantly hitting the All feed will drive people away. Are there even any non-political hexbear communities? All I ever see are anti-is and pro-China posts.
I still can’t wrap my head around being so pro-trans rights (a fabulous thing), yet in the same breath simping for China. Not the most stellar LGBTQIA+ record there.
Everything is political. We have comms that we don't consider political, but you would still consider them political because you would rather they cater to your politics rather than ours. We have !games@hexbear.net for example, but because it's not a liberal comm you would consider it political.
You're literally professing your support for trans rights and simping for the US in one comment so you must be mega confused
This sounds like treating politics like religion. No thanks.
Yes. America is the pre-eminent fascist violence force on Earth and must be brought down for the good of humanity
Not having America around to keep Russia and China in check sounds great for humanity 👍
Damn you really kept them in check when you bombed Iraq back to the stone age
You also really kept China in check when you moved your entire industrial capacity there
"What if they invaded, pillaged, and coup'd the countries WE were going to invade, pillage, and coup! Can you imagine the tragedy?! Better that us, The Good Guys, exploit these countries than The Bad Guys!"
Imperialist running dog.

boo-hoo
Amerikkkan crakkkers seething
If you can't wrap your head around being trans and supporting China you need to stop consuming MSM and examine your assumptions.
I live in the US and it's pretty bad for LGBT people here. I don't feel the need to cheerlead US interventions because they have a coat of rainbow paint.
@sharedburdens
Good for you! They cloak not only in that, but in Human Rights and Democracy. Yeah, right, sure Sleepy Joe. :-) My gay daughter hates Putin and loves the war because Russia doesn't accept homesexualtiy. I think that's a very poor reason to go to war, especially when the raesons stated aren't true. It's colonialism all over again. Russia has all the raw materials and rare earth metals that the west covets.

I am critical of China and I've never been attacked for it on Hexbear. It's ok if you approach topics in good faith and have nuanced arguments rather than just "CPC evil".
Personally I think wanting to destroy the American state as it is today and historically is actually very inclusive.
Paradox of tolerance, babyyy
Cuba supports both
You got brigaded hard friend. I guess tankies gonna tank. We should just ship y'all to China.
Yeah, it reminds me of the behavior found on 4chan. A lot of the things I've heard about hexbear - someone made a mega post about their userbase and how it's filled with trolls, just lines right up with 4chan type mentality and pushing contrarian ideologies that are meant to put people in an uproar - like ragebaiting.
And then all hear from hexbear users is this creepy rhetoric about how they're free thinker with ideas or some shit. Sounds like what Jehovah Witnesses say to get people to join their cult.
how come everything I hear about hexbear sounds like 4chan though? Like there even seems to be mimic of the 4chan lgbt board mentality coming from hexbear users.
