You're not liberals, liberals are centerists, you guys are far, far to the left. Which is fine, but let's not confuse political terms.
we're centrists. we hold the political center between anarchism and Marxism-Leninism.
anyone i’ve ever met claiming to be a centrist was in reality uninformed politically and using the label as a shield for their similarly uninformed takes.
That's the joke. There is no center in the west. As the general political spectrum is inherently right.
Is that an inside joke? Because outside of Hexbear and maybe 1930s Catalonia, "between anarchism and Leninism" is extreme left.
Answering genuinely, yeah it is lol
That being said, what is considered the "political center" varies a lot from place to place, a lot more than just 1930s Catalonia.
Thank you for being genuinely helpful, unlike your comrades who insulted and posed.
You do see how many of us are being treated though right? Some of us are going in hot, but most are interacting reasonably, then getting slammed with bad faith complaints and accusations,
Its incredibly frustrating, I'm sure you can relate
Let's tally up the replies to me from Hexbear users.
So a minority of Hexbear users interacted reasonably, while the majority of Hexbear users did not.
I know you personally can't do much about your instance's users making a majority of posts in bad faith, but Hexbear as an instance has a bad reputation across the Fediverse right now because of their behavior.
Mate, you've been plenty insulting and toxic, you get what you give.
The more I look the more I see a severe clash of values between Hexbear and SIJW (and most Lemmy instances). Most Hexbears act like spewing insults, trolling, and supporting murderous dictators are blows for righteousness. On the other side, those Hexbears come off as juvenile delinquents wearing Red Guard armbands as they spray graffiti, break windows, and take offense at being told off.
Until Hexbear culture quits sanctifying insults and trolling, a lot of doors are going to be slammed in your faces.
Half of what you said is you disagreeing with our politics
Im sure the people you think are 'the good guys' politically are evil murderous ~~dictators~~ 'democratically elected representative of the people'
The systems you support, tacitly or directly are violent by nature, yet you think dissent against it is acting in bad faith
Its absurd, and it's embarrassing
Not sure if you missed my point or you're just trolling.
What is your point?
I'll quote myself covering the important parts, skip the metaphor, and try to explain in simple English.
We hate you because of how you talk. The "call-outs" which are just an excuse to call people names. The posing. The rude pictures. The trolling. The brigading. Reply to any of it and get another avalanche of name-calling and trolling.
A lot of us also hate what you say. But many of us could tolerate what you say if you said it nicely. What's the point of tolerance if you don't tolerate a few things you hate?
You are a type of troll that is very hard to talk into not trolling. And nobody will put up with your trolling for long if they can ban you. So, expect a lot of bans because you are trolls.
If you argued for Marxism but didn't troll and call people names, you would be banned less.
who insulted?
We’ve moved the Overton Window. Sorry I don’t make the rules.
According to fascists, sure. Just because fascists call us extreme left doesn't mean we aren't actually centrists.
No actually, we're a Hillary Clinton fansite, you may not be but I'm #StillWithHer
No actually we're centrists. Maybe you're just far right?
☝🏽 We see some good points in communism and anarchism, without veering to either extreme.
Liberals are right wing though
It's a bit within Hexbear. Something about the old subreddit and "I'm the only true leftist here" discourse.
They were very obviously being facetious....
It's technically a leftist website, but only due to me: The One True Leftist. The rest of them are libs
I had to upvote I'm crying yall are funny
