dawww, thank you comrade
Shout out to @WhyEssEff@hexbear.net
Good to hear, the exchange has been very positive for myth dispelling.
Libs really did fall out of a coconut tree
You might want to know that we have a bunch of great emotes!
Oh absolutely. The thing with right-wingers is that they all have failed analysis so even though many clearly are alienated by Capitalism, they still think they can be saved by it.
Fellow MEaR enjoyer
I mean, kinda? Many right wingers will critique Capitalism but call it "corporatism," AnCaps in a nutshell.
I have never been able to get a straight answer when I ask why a group of supposed right wingers would make a largely isolated instance to talk about theory, shitpost, support trans rights, foster a welcoming community, and create mutual aid comms to raise money for community members and Palestinians, but all ironically of course.
The biggest divide between Hexbear and the instances hostile towards Hexbear (not all instances are hostile to Hexbear, despite what many try to claim) is analysis of Imperialism. Hexbear largely agrees with Lenin when he analyzed how Capitalism eventually evolves into a form of international exploitation in the book Imperialism, the Highest Stage of Capitalism. Not everyone here is a Marxist, many are Anarchists, Syndicalists, or other forms of Leftist, but this central critique of Imperialism forms the basis of Hexbear's overall foreign policy. There are other divides, of course, such as Hexbear's unapologetic support for trans rights, veganism, opposition of the settler-colonial genocide in Palestine, and more, but the Imperialist critique is the biggest divide.
How do I view Lemmy.world? Fairly negatively. The Admins have admitted open hostility towards Marxism, and censor comments and posts that point to the Democrats being complicit in the genocide of Palestine. In addition, many users have been guilty of bigotry, and open transphobia I report seems to stay up as long as it's directed towards Leftists.
Overall, if you're chill, you'll be fine here. Really, despite the fearmongering on other instances, my time on Hexbear is the most enjoyable. The News thread is informative, the general thread is fun to chill out in, the gaming comm is great for talking about Fallout: New Vegas (my hyperfixation, lol), and more. The people here are the friendliest on the Fediverse if you're a Leftist, and the scariest if you're a bigot.
Hope that about does it!
Karma.
100%, if we fail to learn from the past and sieze opportunity then we are failures as leftists.
Wait, what?! That's genuinely astonishing
Honestly a really funny outcome to the Tik Tok ban and generally a very positive one.
