    The heyday of /b/ (with the caveat that /b/ was never good) was 16 years ago now.

    If we assume Hexbear is made up of Gen Z who are in their early 20s, they would’ve been ~4 years old. Hell, even the oldest Gen Z would’ve been ~10. Not exactly the prime age for /b/.

    My guess is that Hexbear is a mix of Gen Z who never experienced the peak days of 4chan (and thus never got the edginess out of their system), plus Gen Alpha who are young and stupid.

    A lot of Hexbear has their heart in the right place. It’s just their minds are fucking crazy. Like, you can’t support fascism and genocide just because “America bad”.

    Yes, America bad.

    Yes, America institutionally bad.

    Yes, America not fixable for at least a decade (or longer).

    But that doesn’t mean it’s time to blindly support China and Russia. Especially when both countries are blatantly anti-LGBTQ. China shut down an LGBTQ center amidst a larger crackdown on LGBT rights; Russia is… Russia.

      Brilliantly said.

      I think it’s very telling of these individuals who rarely, or not at all, talk about modern-day Vietnam or Cuba, actual communist states. They don’t care about communism.
