So because some people are so much worse it’s ok to be crappy

Yeah. People reciprocate affection and vitriol, and being civil towards bigots is not a virtue. It’s just a point of exploitation for bad faith posters to exacerbate divisions and legitimize their bigotries.

Also, it’s the internet. Log off. I set my feed to local to avoid the other lemmy instances. Do that on midwest.social please.

That doesn’t really jive with me. We should all always be trying to be better than we have been before.

The vulgarity and dismissiveness come forth in Hexbear after an established pattern from a user, native or visiting, of bad faith arguments, bigotry, and apologia for anticommunist institutions, policies, and states. People who come from other instances, that act in the aforementioned manner, aren’t starting from the position of blind and unwilful ignorance curious of the world, political theory, or political economy and willing to know, discuss, and consider alternative perspectives.

Those bad faith posters, when discussing politics, work backwards from their conclusions. They engineer reasons for their prejudices and are unable and unwilling to overcome cognitive dissonance, reject all counterarguments as propaganda and just refer people as bots/paid shills/stooges or other dehumanizing flags to label dissidents.

If you’re not a concern troll, agree to disagree, and go away. Ask your instance to defederate if its unbearable for you.

Those “crappy” people prove the point the op you quoted was making, people in other instances ARE hyper sensitive to critiques of western capitalism, that’s just an easily observable fact, and it’s not rude or out of order to point it out

People in this instance including me are more than willing to engage in good faith with those curious about our politics, but there will be no toleration of bigotry or blind faith in a vicious ideology that is cooking the earth

If we’re defedrated because of those principles, so be it
