Feel like that hasn’t happened in a while.
I miss them
What if i compared the worst times in socialist countries with the best times in capitalist ones? That would probably make you cry
Which is rich because any mild critic of democrats defaults libs to whatabout orange man
That’s not real capitalism that’s crony corporatism oligarchy look at sweden they do it right
“The Soviets were just as bad as the Nazis, who weren’t actually that bad.”
You just reminded me of something some wannabe military historian posted here recently. They were talking about how the Soviets only lost so many people due to their military tactics (human wave attacks).
Incredible that myth is still around
my favorite thing about us interacting with liberals here is how they can’t handle us talking normally. Just our normal communication style, casual chatting, is interpreted by them as wildly offensive and rude. And that’s no matter what we’re saying or how good faith we’re communicating. It felt like even when I was trying to talk normally to libs here or federated I’d have to water down everything I said, or I’d get asked to denounce Stalin or the DPRK no matter what the topic was.
Or maybe that’s just their defense mechanism? Like a squid spraying ink. When they don’t have anything concrete to say they instantly complain about manners?
I’m new here and I couldn’t even tell there were problems with how you guys communicate.
Hexbear gets reaaaally hostile when it’s obvious that a person is acting in bad faith and not at all worth talking to. The crowd does not waste its time trying to engage bad faith actors and instead just switches over to hostility, pigpoopballs or fart noises.
If someone seems in good faith or willing to actually learn then it’s pretty reasonable.
We could do well with chilling out a little bit though. Whenever an @ asks any question that might mark them as Not A Leftist they get ppb before they even show their ass.
Usually the bad experiences people bring up are ones they instigate.
9/10 boils down to someone trying to be a debate pervert like ben Shapiro or trying to troll everyone.
Like no shit it’s a bad experience when you come in hostile from the start.
I see it differently, I can feel a deep fire burning in almost all of Hexbear’s comments, quite different from most communities that just whine without purpose.
One day I’ll find out what this fire is aiming at. /s
That’s one of the best compliments I have ever received. Another was when I regular customer I had given my number to if they wanted me to send them reading material or podcasts on specific subjects randomly texted me one day to tell me they mentioned me at a house party vaguely and literally everyone was like “is that the cool anarchist commie guy at [grocery store]” Made me really think my agitprop in retail hell is not for nothing.
it’s mostly just lack of capitalization, punctuation, use of emojis, etc that triggers them
They have a hard time with low brow humour. They also have a hard time with high brow humor. They have a hard time with humor in general.
I believe it’s really all they know. it’s how they’ve been trained by MSM to think and speak. It’s how they argue with conservatives, who have been similarly trained. When they are confronted with a different pattern they discover they have no other method in their arsenal and are compelled to switch to ego-defense.
Or maybe that’s just their defense mechanism? Like a squid spraying ink. When they don’t have anything concrete to say they instantly complain about manners?
Yeah that’s it. I’ve worn down enough of them to see the pattern play out time and again. After that comes aggression and insults and if then you get “lol you triggered?”
My favourite thing to do is to ask them a simple question and then point out how they never answer it.
My second favourite thing to do is to explain why Wikipedia isn’t a good source.
My third most favourite thing to do is take a shit so big it tears my asshole in two. Gotta eat less fiber I guess.
Since they love the word ad hominem, someone should point out to them that tone policing is one of them.
When I learn to code I’m gonna make an ad hominem bot that insults people who invoke it. Also it will explain that an as hominem isn’t just when you are insulted, there’s more to it.
Oh so you didn’t accept sources you don’t agree with? Not very dialectical of you
Typical tankie, ignoring objective facts when they dislike them. Go give me a link to one of your little red pamphlets which aren't biased at all. I enjoy this little game we have, let me debumk you some more. I haven't even talked about Venezuela or the holodomor yet (if you haven't heard of it, here's a hint: it's one of the reasons your daddy isn't that good of a guy).
I feel dirty now. Yuck.
this has become an ecco chamber:
