EKHEM

Both sides bad. UwU

I won't lie, some .world users are very based, sometimes there's threads with 0 grad and 0 hex which oppose the Israeli apartheid, but then I open some really braindead threads and want to leave my flesh prison.

There is a similar thing happening on reddit too... r/Publicfreakout comment sections are far more empathetic to Palestine then you would expect, but then r/Worldnews is full of genocide supporters. It's wild.

World news is almost certainly more heavily astroturfed by the west and its mods aligned with banning anyone who goes against the state dept line. Feds probably put less stock in controlling subs outside that, news, politics ones.

Yeah, no place are as heavily manipulated on reddit as /r/politics and /r/worldnews (even the latter pales compared to the former though).

I would not rule out the grad and hex users have accounts there. Not saying all based comments come from us but I'm sure there's some overlap. Which is good. Prevents those Nazis from being able to fully alienate the users from our influence.

Possible, but I also think there are based non-hex/grad users as there are unbased hex/grad users. There's no perfect communities and it also appears there are no utterly shitty communities. I'm tempted to block less beehaw and .world communities to see if they're possibly more based than given credit for, since I precautionarily blocked them based on the genocidal freaks I've seen in news communities.

I'm sure there are plenty of decent .world users who decided to use that instance before finding out about Lemmygrad and Hexbear, and hopefully they'll migrate once they realize that the admins there are fascists

[–] [email protected] 11 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I just hope most of people, at least those who have the energy to fight, migrate to .ml so people who aren't fascist yet don't get right-wing radicalized by absence of left-wing people.

hopefully; lemmy.ml is full of liberals but at least they're not isolated from us and Hexbear

[–] [email protected] 8 points 11 months ago (1 children)

.ml stands for MY liberals. I will fix them. UwU

[–] [email protected] 29 points 11 months ago

No but you don't understand, they're actually being balanced, because the title says Palestine bad but the picture says Isreal also bad, that's not a manipulative tactics at all!

There is no punishment too severe for these fucking wretched imperialist fucks. None. To. Severe. I don't have a religious beliefs but part of me does wish that some sort of hell exists for these fuckers.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Guess the imperialists don't care about children. I'm shocked, let me tell you.

[–] [email protected] 21 points 11 months ago

all depends on whether they have blue eyes and blond hair or not

[–] [email protected] 17 points 11 months ago

Oh, they care about children. Care about maiming and murdering them... and as disgusted I am to type it, I'm sure there's plenty of pedos getting in on the child brutalization. There is no depth to their evil.

Great Value Richard Spencer is doing some heavy lifting for the cryptofascist cause here.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 11 months ago

Is it that Richard Spencer?

The whole article about "but muh cars" whinging about the "worst massacre in modern Israeli history" is a joke. Odd not to mention that this massacre took place within line of sight of an Israeli-ran concentration camp.
