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

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

          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.
