“Colonoids,” that’s novel. Seems like there’s some overlap and cross-pollination with right-wing (particularly incel) rhetoric, huh? Still, nice to see frauddogg moving beyond “peckerwood” and “cracker.” Variety is the spice of life.
Slurs are ok as long as they’re on the approved slurs list
You won’t ever find any ‘approved’ slurs here.
If it looks like a duck… These people are not leftists in any fashion whatsoever.
Funny, because not too long ago I saw a bunch of HBs and MLs going on about how “the libs can’t go more than one comment chain without wishing death and torture on anyone not voting like them”
Now who else do I know of where every accusation is a confession… Or projection, if you will.
Seems like a lot of them like to Gaslight, Obstruct AND Project.
Hexbear users very literally threatening to kill me is one (just one) of the reasons I hate that instance. The .ml instances aren’t much better.
.ml is just the public facing arm of the same terroristic people. An example is “Sinn Féin” from the IRA times.
I’ve always felt this way about tankies and the horseshoe theory in general. Conservatism spawned from the “Bourgeoise”; all the religious lords and landowners who profited from, and supported, monarchs and authoritarian rule. Tankie belief systems align with that “bourgeoise” perfectly.
The concept of authoritarian socialism is a contradiction. Without democracy, freedom of thought, and freedom of person — from fear of retribution for wrongthink — the workers never had a say; never “seized” control of anything. Tankies are nothing more than a continuation of the authoritarian rule that came before them. Both Hitler and Trump have said they represent the wprking class. Saying you represent the working class is meaningless. You need to prove it with your actions.
Ultimately tankies are closer to the Tsars, Kings, and colonialism they replaced, than they are to the concept of freedom and equality for the working class. They just want to be the oppressor, and probably believe that communism is the best chance they have to ever be in a position to fulfil that role.
I agree, though I think they latch onto communism as a sign of virtue signalling.
Sprinkle in a healthy dose of AstroTurf and you get a nice little cult growing.
So, one of the more conservative Hexbear user then?
Thanks for thinking of this community, blaze!
Thank you for your comment there !
What is hexbear? I have heard many people taking about it, but sure why users from that instance are aggressive/rude
I have to disagree with users saying it’s just a bunch of communists and rich college kids.
I think the core of that instance is a state-funded disinformation effort. Sure, there are real people on there, especially vegans, leftists extremists, queer people, Arabic people, because they’re the target of their propaganda.
A role-playing instance where disaffected middle-class American boys act as third-world revolutionaries from the mid-1980s.
Oh and they like to communicate by image reactions because that’s how Twitch raised them.
Tankies are actually overwhelmingly high-class. Usually college kids
I’d still put most college kids into middle class, though I’m sure there’s a spread.
Oh, these are rich college kids. Mummy and daddy own a mansion kind of rich college kid.
I think it’s guilt that makes them so crazy.
it’s basically reddit but edgy by rich college kid standards
Reddit is 50/50 Tankies & Nazis. Fediverse is like 90% Tankies & other terrorist simps, even outside of the Tankie instances. It’s a complete clown show on all platforms honestly. I almost wish climate change wasn’t such a slow cooking thing.
That is an awful way to look at communities. You should probably expand your horizons a bit and start interacting with more people
I mean, I blocked all the .ml / hexbear / grad communities, all the news communities and all the other communities who refuse to moderate disinformation or calling me a troll for reporting & calling out terrorist simps, all the meme communities, all the sport communities… Not much left here I’m afraid and it makes me wanna interact less with people, not more, since apparently the world is just going insane it seems.
Yeah I agree that there’s a lot of bs on lemmy. but reddit is more normie, I don’t think it’s a split between nazis and tankies
Yeah, disinformation is out of control here
should post some of your chains on taking down the disinformation
Yeah, I’ve been thinking it might be time to put together some actual analysis of disinformation on Lemmy.
I guess if you’re looking for them that hard then it’s all you’ll see in your feed. Where do you buy brushes that big, btw?
I don’t, that’s the problem. It’s not really my fault that suddenly everyone roots for Hamas & Hezbollah or thinks other nonsensical bullshit.
Maybe it’s only a way for them to express their disagreement with the actions if the israelian government ? As this is deemed antisemitic, it might cause overreaction…
Yeah, no. If you’re simping for literal terrorists just because “Israel bad” then you’ve completely lost the plot. If Israel would act like those groups, the death toll, destruction, and other crimes would be in the millions. One can disagree with the Israeli government and still not end up simping for terrorists. I do, and I get shat on from both sides for it. Great times.
Those who fall for the division can’t see the larger picture. Or perhaps they can, and they revel in it.
While trying to avoid labeling expressions for my answer, from what I could gather, Hexbear is an instance where at least the active users (can’t say for the quite ones) are very pro-socialism/communism, and that seem to be very aggressive towards anyone that shows to not be favorable to revolutionary ideals, specially the ideals aligned to the aforementioned regime.
Any city built on top of a mess of tunnels ready to collapse at any point should be levelled and rebuilt somewhere safer.
I mean forget the Paris catacombs, but London, that city’s a danger to itself!
