Is it me or is everyone in hexbear insane?

EABOD25@lemm.ee to No Stupid Questions@lemmy.world – 8 points –

I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don't actually think everyone there is insane. I don't care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It's not going to scare me to take this down

Have you considered you are just observing this:

Hexbear is for communists to talk to communists. They get plenty of the "default" liberal opinions from waves hands around vaguely and are entitled to their own community, no?.

Obviously if you go into Hexbear and just start posting anti-China stuff they're going to ban you. It's not like the English-speaking world is bereft of anti-China news articles.

I'm not trying to join their cult. I'm not feeling excluded from their cult. I'm saying their cult should not exist. It is a mixture of crazy people and Chinese propaganda, and it deserves to be stamped out.

Ah yea, everyone that has an opinion that isn't mine is dangerous and deserves to be silenced. I totally agree. I think lemmy.world should refederate, and then defederate a second time, just to make sure they get the message.

Not everyone who disagrees with me. Just extremists and morons. Tankies happen to be both.

REAL communists are cool. Hexbear is a pile of shit.

Are the real communists kept around back with the real scotsmen?

What do you consider a real Communist, if not people who read Communist Theory, advocate for Communism, and defend real movements towards Communism?

Not tankies.

Why do you, a self-professed liberal that has not read Communist Theory, get to pull the No-True-Scotsman card on Communists?

Pisses off tankies

Regular reminder that Communists hate Putin and the Russian Federation

It's been on my mind recently that the global hope of lgbt people is China.

🤣🤣🤣

Go on, copy Awoo's full quote.

It's been on my mind recently that the global hope of lgbt people is China.

That's gonna sound weird to anyone that thinks China is anti-lgbt, but the reality is that only exists among the old and they're phasing out. China's trajectory for lgbt issues is likely to be positive, because China's trajectory for PEOPLE issues is positive.

The west is in decline, and with it the marginalised groups are being scapegoated as targets to distract the population from their declining conditions. Lgbt issues are likely to deteriorate across the west as the decline continues, as are other issues such as migrants and race.

China will represent a population of 1.4 billion people in ascendancy and with a positive trend towards these issues I believe it's going to eventually become the place with the best conditions along similar lines to Cuba. It will represent the largest block of lgbt people in the world, and the lgbt people of China will become the largest advocate of lgbt conditions elsewhere in the world.

This hasn't happened yet, but the trends are there. It's coming in the longterm.

The Falun Gong are, right now, kidnapping children and brainwashing them into being performers for their shitty dance troupe. These performers are not paid, cannot leave The Compound, and cannot contact their family. That's a cult that the government should stamp out.

Hexbear is a bunch of people with a different opinion on the western world's designated Enemy Governments. They're not in the same ballpark, or even playing the same sport.

Lol who the fuck said anything about Falun Gong? That's out of left field. You got a bug in your programming?

We were talking about cults, I brought them up as an example. I could have just as easily used Scientology.

i guess I don't understand your point. Cults are bad, seems like we agree on that.

Right. I was saying that Hexbear isn't a cult on the same level as the named examples, that it's just some people with a different view of global politics than the norm, in response to a commenter who insisted that they were a dangerous cult that should be stamped out.

Ah. Well I disagree, I think they're on an equal level of danger and detachment from reality and susceptibility of their members to abuse. Definitely a cult.

They're not just people with different political views. They're a cult that vigorously polices their orthodoxy. Dissent is not tolerated.

This isn't accurate, they were very active in brigandine other federations, hitting random threads on .world for instance with hundreds of reply comments drowning out anything that may be a tiny bit critical of china or Russia. Or pro west.

There wereultiple cross-posts daily pointing to specific threads posted on hexbear to organize brigading.

Have you considered that their users were just browsing the front page and what you're describing is just the nature of lemmy and how federation works?

You're likely referring to the_dunk_tank which is a community that encourages bullying homophobia, transphobia, fascists and liberale (pretty based imo)

hitting random threads on .world for instance with hundreds of reply comments

.world preemptively defederated from hexbear "as a last resort" can you clarify when the events you're referring to would have happened?

hitting random threads on .world

Dang that's pretty impressive for an instance that got blocked by .world before they ever started federating.

Or did I already miss make stuff up o'clock?
