I don’t just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of “legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community” top-cop takes.

I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we’re Russian/Chinese bots.

Sure they still do that but they’ve slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.

    Ah, there was a person named Allende. I was only seeing articles about the city in Mexico 😅

    In fairness though that speaks more about the atrocities of the US than Democratic socialism.

          This is a bit long but very well made video about what happened in Chile if you want to understand the history and context.

          Project Cybersyn was a socialist logistical mechanism for running the economy based on a marxist understanding of production. It later became the basis for neoliberal logistical protocols because of how effective the methodology actually was in practice. This is partly why the military coup was used ultimately. Allende and Cybersyn were so effective at circumventing the other forms of control and manipulation that were initially used in response.

          So even if you survive the first, second, etc order reactions, that just means an escalation towards total war will be coming soon.
