First things first. Hexbear makes my life bearable sometimes. I don’t use an account because I don’t like how addicted to social media I get sometimes and I’m afraid of pissing people off, because although I consider myself an ML, I come from a very conservative family where I unknowingly say bad things about idpol.

Anyways. As a very drunk man (bad very bad day first time drinking in months - not an alcoholic), do you think the US government monitors hexbear? Like if I browse it without a VPN do you think I become a POI, serious, if not stupid, question?

Again, thank you for being a shining beacon in my day surrounded by people who justify genocide, political violence against the global south, and endless enterprise. I really am grateful even if I’m not the best Marxist. You’ve taught me about donbas, about the struggles of north Korea, the toils of Iran among so much more

Edit: As a still drunkman someone asked me about idpol. I uh can’t see ur messages here but I can on my Lemmy client.

uh to make myself clear not in an Obama way - I find nick Mullen stuff funny. It makes me feel bad because of the punching down so i avoid it. and I might do things that are unintentionally mean, forgetting to use the correct pronouns (like genuinely I hardly meet with my enby friends so my mind just defaults to calling someone female presenting she rather than the preferred they. I do try to correct but sometimes I’m so absent minded that I’d rather not upset anyone.

I am trying to self crit so I’m OK with being dunked on I guess. But I isolate BC I don’t wanna upset ppl. Its harder to express my intentions online when I mess up. @lemmmygradwontallowme

    I feel this, but if you do make anyone upset, if you are genuine and not being a shit head on purpose I think most people can forgive a lot.

    Posting on reddit and the greater internet in the past had made me anxious about being misunderstood or offending someone so I didn’t post much. But here it seems most people actually try to understand what you are saying and don’t instinctively insult or react to something they might not agree with, unless of course it’s pro-imperialist or genocide denial or something of that variety.
