Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.
They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it’s bots or wumao. Human beings can’t possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.
🔺 This place is a RussianChinese bot farm disinformation campaign 69k filled with CCP shills and Russian trolls. 🔻 I doubt there are any real human posters here. Edit1: Wow, so many updoots! Edit2: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!Hexbear has 565 users/day and there are not even 500 upbears on this thread.
I was honestly not excited about federation and still think we will be de-federated within hours (is that possible?) because liberals cannot stand being so consistently embarrassed by Marxists BUT I will say that a major factor in my radicalization was finding r/chapotraphouse years ago back on reddit. For every lib we dunk on, others will start to wonder and ask questions and even laugh along with communist jokes (by far the funniest on the internet). Liberalism actually has an extremely limited appeal, the democrats excite almost no one, and it’s true that some of their more lukewarm supporters just don’t know that you can fight liberalism without being a fucking nazi.
Put it this way, CTH was tiny compared to the size of reddit yet it had such an impact on the site that Reddit’s admins wanted it gone to stop the left pressure it created.
Hexbear is significantly larger comparatively when compared with the size of Lemmy. The influence we have on Lemmy is larger than it was on reddit. Currently at least, assuming Lemmy continues to grow that might not be true in future, but for now it absolutely is. Particularly because we’re only on a few instances.
Because CTH established one of the essential steps towards a revolutionary movement: “an alternative cultural pole”. So it was dangerous and had to be destroyed.
Is “an alternative cultural pole” a phrase from some theoretical work? Asking because it sounds interesting, and I came up short on DuckDuckGo.
I made it up lol, but its from gramsci, I think he used countercultural hegemon or something.
Haha nice I was wondering if it was Gramscian
I actually don’t think I’ve seen anything like this on this site before:
oh back when the site first launched, comments would get squished until they were 1 character wide, so the replies would be entirely vertical. and the threads would continue anyway because people were replying from their inbox.
🏳️🌈
WAIT A MINUTE THAT’S NOT FROM AN APPROVED SOURCE ON MY MEDIA BIAS INFOGRAPHIC.
MODS MODS PLEASE REMOVE THIS
THESE CLAIMS AREN’T BACKED BY A DNC NGO, THEREFORE IT’S DANGEROUS MISINFORMATION THAT’S HELPING REPUBLICANS WIN.
THOSE ATROCITIES COMMITTED BY THE US WERE NECESSARY TO DEVELOP THE RULES BASED INTERNATIONAL ORDER, I’M SORRY IT HAPPENED BUT WE COULDN’T BE HERE NOW WITHOUT IT.
Beep boop I am programmed to destroy the west boop beep.
Chinese bot accounts have more humanity than western liberals
Say what you will about those Chinese bots, I’ve never heard one advocate for a nuclear holocaust.
Chinese bot: “I’m just wandering around China eating good food and enjoying scenery. Look at this cool train and neat skyscrapers. Panda!”
Western liberal: “BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD! THE LINE CAN ONLY BE APPEASED BY THE SACRIFICE OF THE VITAL ESSENSE OF THE POOR ON THE ALTAR OF CIVILITY!”
I wish I could wander around China eating good food and looking at cool trains😋
Good bot. Start any time, the people of the west yearn for freedom.
go gett’em
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
I’m going to lock this thread at some point tonight, so that other threads may be born.
Tankie mods locking valuable discussion threads smdh my dick head
one thousand comments on a non-megathread post
fucking incredible. federation was a masterstroke
To the reddit refugee, liberals, whatever: Your system is evil. You may not notice it because you are a cozy Labour aristocrat (even if doing “manual” labor, lmao) mostly worried about your slice of the bloody fucking pie. One week as an out trans person sees more hate than you will ever experience, there is fucking blood on most of the things you consume for fun, ask yourself how you get this or that snazzy device you fucking uncaring roman. Ask yourself why bananas are cheaper than apples in North America, ask yourself why thousands of migrants drown in the fucking piss water you euro fucks skinny dip in, who fucking harvests your watery shit vegetables.
Look at the millionaire while he pretends he is your friend, listen to the pod, check your boxes, do your “polsci”, read the virtual toilet rag editorials, shudder at the thought of fucked up, desperate people doing honest mistakes, fall for the lies, laugh at the Stalin quote about his heart of stone, then notice you don’t even have anything close to a heart beating in your pilates toned, conscious living chest
Your system is rotten. Some of us honestily tried to fix it, but you wouldn’t have it. Vote Blue if you think it saves you, you could at least admit you are being blackmailed by a duopoly. Europe: You couldn’t even get out of the neoliberal shit if you wanted to. You are too stagnant and now you are falling to the guys you derided as untermensch, “uneducated”, or “autocratic” (rich coming from you lmao)
I, personally, have no great hopes for china, though you might ask yourself why your “concern” is so focused on this country, while you never acted up before about any western injustice. But fuck you and fuck anything you stand for. We will not rush to save it. We hope to survive, at least some of us, despite of all your “help” and “efforts”
This goes hard, I hope something from here ends up as a new header.
what do you get when you cross a mentally ill loner with a SOCIETY that ABANDONS HIM AND TREATS HIM LIKE TRASH?!Spoiler
Some good rants I hope
Bravo! You mentioned so many stuff any reasonable human can deduce by themselves, but they just refuse to.
I would add big difference with China: China is not pretending that they are nice and humane and always right. I never heard them preaching to someone and pretending they are better humans with more humanity than others. No hypocrisy in which EU is drawing in, started to be obvious (to me) in 2014 with Greece and all masks fell down during covid and totally confirmed with war in Ukraine.
Thay, agajn, managed to create a war between slavs and now are setting up our brothers in west africa to fight among themselves, I really hope they will resist this time.
nitpick but the German term is “untermensch” (plural: untermenschen).
typo, fixed, it was very early in the day
It’s a perfectly fair oversight (in a good comment), no need to explain!
You’re not wrong but this is pretty cringe
Nah it’s fine, it was tiptoeing toward the line, but it never got there
cringe is cringe
Worth noting that this kind of Settlers-esque critique is not shared by AES states
worth noting that as long as the People’s Republic doesnt help a communist group over here to destabilize my main enemy (the imperialist nation I am in), they can continue to develop socialism in the chinese context, and I will work on developing it over here, just as their doctrines state, seeing that party attempts generally are not doing great around here rn, I think writing a little circlejerky cheeriing message for a small website criticizing western imperialism, 1 hour of emotional diatribes are not that wasted compared to other options
hold on, I will phrase it a way you’ll find appealing: Sigma China, based USSR, virgin USA, cuckold Soyrope, Communists going their own way
based
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Wow so you think it’s okay that landlords were killed and the land was given back to the working class it was stolen from. No wonder everyone hates hexbear, this filth site is full of hatred.
hey this isn’t @wombat@hexbear.net
To any wandering libs, if you want to better understand our perspective, listen to a season of Blowback: https://blowback.show/Season-2
Or really anybody who wants to understand the Iraq War, the history of the United States and Cuba, and the Korean War from a leftist perspective. Really good reporting, includes original interviews with still living people that lived through that history.
For a more condensed primer, there’s always yellow parenti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP8CzlFhc14

uncritical support to comrade @GarbageShoot@hexbear.net’s efforts to kindly engage with the libs in the anti China thread that’s active right now. I appreciate that someone is in there not just sending ppb but I’m not gonna do it lol
