I went there and was shocked to see them spreading disinformation about China and North Korea.
I pointed out to them that both countries have a double-frowny-face McFreedom™ rating from the billion-dollar non-profit Institute for CIA Facts, but they just laughed at me!
These people are as bad as Republicans when it comes to denying facts!
IMO we must remain steadfast in protecting ourselves from their way of thinking. Who's with me?
Yes something something Ukraine. Russia bad. Something something save democracy. Russia bad. China bad. Ukraine wholesome. I don’t know anything about Iran or Persians but yes Iran bad.
I think we should keep hexbear around but only if they restructure their arguments into burger analogies so that it's less alienating to the American audience
Did you show them the Freedrom graphs made by the American Burger Eagle Institute? Or maybe try the wikipedia page for those countries if that doesn't work!
Get this - one of them asked me to provide sources for my claims. As if that wasn't bad enough, when I googled and posted the first four links I saw without reading them, they actually clicked on the links and went through each of them point-by-point and explained how none of them provide credible support my position.
At that point it was clear that it wasn't possible to have any sort of reasonable conversation with them, so I just did the usual and called them a bot, then made a thread where I made up a story about them defending Pol Pot and said they were worse than fascists.
i feel like we actually debated doing this as a bit, and i think the admins were advised by dessalines that it was a very bad idea and was unrecoverable lmao
They just mock me when I ask them if they've ever heard of Venezuela or tinyman square! They keep repeating russian talking points and they say a bunch of slurs all the time, or so I'm told.
Better to just defederate them so they'll leave us alone and they can wallow in their echo chamber.
They posted a pig shitting on its balls at me before calling me every anti-white slur in the book. Defederation would be too kind, we should brigade their comms with burners until they fuck off
I think the content on hexbear is interesting and it's bad to alienate new users of what they might find there.
I reread the whole instance and the issues are being conflated in the comments here, I just don't see what is being described here. Sure the bickering gets harsh deep in the comments, but that's just the internet. People explain themselves sufficently well.
That's it.
Yes 100% they get a 10000000 on the Voldemort index and they banned me for no reason. What do you mean it's in the mod logs that I was racist and sexist???
Thirty years ago, Bill Clinton told us ‘take a monkey, place him onto the internet superhighway and he is able to post the content’.
Thirty years later, TankieTanuki told us ‘I had to start my bit like a computer, it’s very complicated.’ And he said that during the post – I don’t remember what post - he pressed the wrong button on the keyboard.
Question for you both: is hexbear posting today too complicated with twenty and more buttons on the keyboard, are you too much under effort, under pressure? What are your wishes for the future concerning the technical programme during the struggle sessions? Less buttons, more? Or less and more communication with your FBI handlers?
