    I had already read that comment.

    Remember how t_d was a tongue in cheek in-joke in the beginning until it grew and actually drew in users that actually were all in with the cult without a hint of self awareness and became what you described?

    I’m not sure what you’re even referring to. Could you please point out what exactly the in joke is on Hexbear that you’re criticizing?

      That was expanded a bit in the second paragraph. It’s also worth it to explore how leftists on other instances have described the situation. That’s actually better than relying on my third party relaying broken telephone summaries.

        Regular prole scrollers won’t get “stalin is good because he’s handsome” even though we might have a taste for edgier humor

        You mean this? That’s exactly the kind of thing I was getting at when I talked about the DPRK. That’s not edgy humor, we think Stalin was good because he and the USSR saved the world from fascism.

        Many of us do also believe he was handsome, but it’s certainly much easier to find someone handsome when you already like them for other reasons.
