Really not beating the fed allegations with this one.

Patsocs aren’t actually communist, they call themselves “Patriotic” socialists instead of “National” socialists because that would be a connection so obvious even liberals would spot it. This is just a nazi trying to whitewash nazis.

Don’t be! We’d love to have you here! (And be sure to report any transphobic shitheads to the mods as well, they aren’t any more welcome here than they are on Hexbear)

Nah, you didn’t do anything wrong. People are responsible for their own actions, not you.

I always feel bad when I was agreeing with someone initially and then they just kind of dig themselves deeper and deeper and start saying less and less coherent stuff and it makes me realise they were probably masking some really uncool shit and I fell for it. :(

Yeah, seems like they’ll be justifying it by saying they are just “temp bans” so it is ok. But it’s still pretty fucked up for their biggest critics in the thread to be effectively silenced for “going against the (mod) hivemind” or whatever libs say about us.

I feel the same. Ironically the mod’s attempts to make the site more “serious” is probably just going to do the opposite. I’ve spoken at length about this before, but you don’t get people to learn and discuss leftist theory by insisting it is always serious business and you aren’t allowed to joke around or acknowledge how fucked up our capitalist society is.

It’ll just chase people away, which is a shame, though that might be a “win” as far as the mods are concerned. There’s plenty of “serious” leftist groups out there with half a dozen members with their own very specific interpretation of theory with 0 fun allowed, but I can’t really think of anywhere else quite like Hexbear. I don’t want to see them become yet another insular “leftist” space that is actively hostile to people who don’t take themselves as seriously as the world’s most dedicated Internet Leftists.

I’m probably overreacting though, as others have said, this isn’t the first time mods on Hexbear have gone full reddit mod and won’t be the last.

Wow, just saw that. That is very worrying. “Random” bans and bans mocking people for being too active on the site? And getting rid of some of the most active coms on the site? Hexbear is fucked if these new mods are going to be power tripping like this.

I’ve heard politics is sexual pathology, but this is ridiculous!

It really is absurd, it’s just “evil for evil’s sake” saturday morning cartoon villainy. I’m sure most republicans want to get rid of basic human rights as much as possible, but they do so because they profit off of it, not because they just like being evil. I guess it is the end result of Marvel movie brain and its consequences.

A patsoc claiming to be socialist but then defending capital at every opportunity? I’m shock and appalled, what a surprising and unexpected thing for him to do!

It must be so easy to be an alphabet agent manufacturing consent. These people go nuts for this slop and then demand more.

They will notice the effects of tetanus though!

They are really just blue MAGA. Their political disagreements with the right are basically just Skub for them at this point:

It’s the main reason I’m a communist. I’ve never heard an anti-com argument that doesn’t rely on a massive misunderstand of communist theory, or made up bullshit about communist countries.

Thanks for that. Weirdly enough my internet archive account hadn’t been leaked, but my usual low security password had been in an entirely separate data breach.

It’s probably the most fiendish anti-com trap. Get them to think they are socialist and doing a socialism, while explicitly being more against all successful socialist projects that have ever existed.

Trump might actually get offed by the alphabet agencies if he tries to go after the MIC and replace their yes men with his own yes men.

The wokes are injecting soy directly into the bloodstream! :frothing-fash:

You’re still thinking too small, with that much money you could make a feature length youtube poop and have it shown in theatres!
