I am genuinely confused about how Hexbearians thought being dicks on the internet was going to change any hearts and/or minds

The Shittier 4chan™️

They arent just dicks. They are maniacs who are in favour of the genocides commited against ukranians and uyghurs.

[–] ThrowawayPermanente@sh.itjust.works 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because it worked on them. At some point someone was a smug, obnoxious cunt to them online and they were like "Wow, thanks, I guess I'm a communist now!"

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I sort of look at them as amusement. It's not like what they want will happen In our lifetimes (or ever probably). I don't necessarily get why everyone hates them, just try looking at them as funny content lol

You must not have seen the amount of genocide denial they do, or the amount of simping for dictators.

What's weird is that I don't remember the Chapo guys doing any of that, they seem pretty solidly democratic socialist.

I guess that's what happens when you let your community mods be Putin bots or whatever dumbfuckery went on.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's also what happens when you lock yourself in an echo chamber for long enough, you views will drift.

But the Chapo crowd always had tendencies towards brigading and whatnot which is why Reddit eventually deleted their sub.

Plus the Chapo crowd were firmly "Bernie or Bust," which was a pretty shit view at the time.

They are the best example what happens when people are locked in their echo chamber. They are radicalizing themselves to the point of absurdity. The statements they make are so illogical its hard to even have a discussion about it, because they literally deny truisms.

I genuinely don't understand why the admins are dragging ass and not just defederating from them already. They provide nothing of value, just spam and harassment.

[–] Gormadt@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Because if memory serves both Lemmy.ml and Lemmygrad share some admins with each other

And with Lemmygrad and Hexbear loving each other: federation is going to stay a thing over here

One of the things I love about the instance I'm on is that we're defederated from Hexbear, it's pretty nice NGL

[–] imgonnatrythis@lemm.ee 30 points 1 year ago (5 children)

Whenever I switch instances first thing I do is block these ones.

Well I'm glad Hexbears have stopped spamming pig testicles at least. But. First impressions mean a lot and they did not make a good one.

[–] DragonTypeWyvern@literature.cafe 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Their most obnoxious members really need to learn how to proselytize because they're their own worst enemy.

You don't lead with the crazy genocide denial, you lead with pointing out stuff like Churchill genociding 3 million Indians with the Bengal famine, or that South Korea was a fascist state before the Korean war.

Oh, look, so was Vietnam.

Oh, weird, so was etc etc etc etc

[–] Astroturfed@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

South Korea only fascist before the war. Definitely wasn't a fascist pseudo dictatorship until like what year is it?... I think they're still electing people related to the former dictators or in that weird cult shit. South Korea is like that super crazy cousin you have, that you forget about because their quiet and don't call you very often.

Fascists in communist clothing. Skullfuck their corpses!

[–] NoiseColor@startrek.website 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

They are so far from being communist right now. They are just using communism as a mask.

[–] cnnrduncan@beehaw.org 9 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Ayy kinda like most of the authoritarian state capitalist countries they idolise

[–] NoiseColor@startrek.website 5 points 1 year ago

Exactly like that! Most don't even care about ideology, maybe they never did.

[–] SloganLessons@kbin.social 23 points 1 year ago

the symbol was making me think it was a cryptocurrency

[–] Ensign_Crab@lemmy.world 20 points 1 year ago

Oh, there's gonna be some opinions in this thread.

[–] finickydesert@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

I’m surprised no one shared all the emoji publicly

[–] YeetPics@mander.xyz 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Notice to all suxbears entering this premesis:

Donald Trump is a communist and he is just like you. Everyone here agrees.
