I forgot how ignorant and self-righteous Reddit liberals were. The ones I've seen are easily the loudest and dumbest people on this network of federated instances. They have their "conviction" and "is wrong" sliders completely maxed out.

I'll take that over believing pig shit memes are reasonable discourse any day.

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Make pig shit comments, get pig shit replies

[–] AnomalousBit@programming.dev -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Your post is literally “DuMb LIbrhULS” with bonus noise. Self-projecting much?

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

You're right I haven't completely purged the liberal inside me and I hate myself for it being there still

Since you can’t see the irony in your initial comment, let me spell it out for you in a way you might be able to understand:

You drone on about maxed convictions while being wrong. But, you’re literally doing the same thing that you whine pointlessly about: your original comment is nothing but a shitty, baseless generalized opinion about a large group of people, with zero substance.

But you keep fighting the fight, big dog!

[–] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Thank you so much for showing me that not every liberal I meet here will be ignorant and self-righteous. I can no longer say that has been the totality of my experience with them. I now have hope that my next encounter will be just as positive as this one was.

[–] AnomalousBit@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah cute, still nothing of substance to say. Stay peachy!

[–] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Look, you started hot in this thread but tired after a few comments. They adjusted, you didn't, and you got rocked; it happens. Hit the showers and we'll get after it early tomorrow with some film.

[–] AnomalousBit@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

A guy named “420blazeit69”, who is clearly some kind of shitty LLM wielding troll farmer from his comment history, told me I got rocked. Guess I better call it a day!

[–] Salmarez@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

You are one pathetic loser!

[–] AnomalousBit@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Hey! Do me a favor since you’re sitting next to 420blazeit69 at the troll farm. Tell him you guys better start winning some of these online arguments or else you’re both going back to live in the shitty commie blocks, drinking nasty ass potato vodka all day!

We are the pigs with whom you wrestle in the mud

[–] AnomalousBit@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Instead of (poorly) attempting to sow discord in a place you will never visit, amongst people you will never meet, don’t you guys have an inkling of desire to do something, you know, productive and upward with your life? I’m sure there has to be a better option in your society than grinding it out in a shitty troll farm.

[–] jack@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

i'm sure there has to be a better option in your society than grinding it out in a shitty troll farm.

Sadly, no. Here in the United States of America, there is no opportunity for those outside the ruling class. Hence I spend my days posting away in hexbear.net's volunteer troll farm.

I mean, I have pity for you having to sit on here and be sour and awful all day long. So I guess I have some of my humanity left? As for you, maybe you should try to find something more positive and upwards in life instead of trying to derail a bunch of people on the other side of the planet.

What do you see as the end result of convincing yourself that everyone here is a bot (or running bots, you go back and forth) and is out to get you?

[–] AnomalousBit@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Literally the most upvoted comment on the whole post is about shitty troll farm bots like you. Apparently you guys are having a hard time “blending in” 🤣

[–] honore_de_ishida@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

It's a hard knock life for we bots

You're so vain

You don't think that this post is about you, do you?

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, I am the butterfly

Where are the domlemmys?

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev -1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah, you can call yourself a leftist all you want, but when 90% of your posts is calling Biden and Zelensky Nazis but you never criticize Putin or Trump, I get certain doubts.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Posting about Trump or Putin being bad would be akin to making posts about ISIS being bad: it goes without saying.

Like 99% of people on this platform already agrees with you, it's really not a contentious issue. There's no significant MAGA or Russian nationalist instance federated. None of their supporters would see it, it would be a completely moot point.

[–] Noughmad@programming.dev 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (3 children)

Oh how I wish that was true. Unfortunately I've seen far too many people support Russia in this war, both offline and online, including here.

Maybe I'm wrong about hexbear, I certainly hope that I am, but on lemmygrad I saw long posts with many upvotes explaining how this war is a good thing and Putin is a hero that is fighting against the capitalists etc.

Edit: and now lemmygrad had Hunter's laptop on the front page. Could they be any more obvious?

Edit2: lol, you almost had me believing that I was wrong and just too paranoid. Then in this very thread I got two people from hexbear telling me how NATO and Ukraine are evil, heavily upvoted. Still nothing bad about either Trump or Putin. Thanks.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Right, but if you made a post about how Putin is a great leader or Republicans have better policies and child labour, homophobia and lower taxes on the rich are good on Hexbear you're going to get shat on in the comments if not outright banned.

Criticizing NATO is more pressing because online discourse is extremely pro-NATO. Reddit, for example, loves NATO expansion and loved when Finland joined. None of the disdain for NATO is praise for Putin being a corrupt nationalist.

Also anything involving Hunter Biden is funny. He's just an obscenely offbeat person. While the Trump children (except Tiffany and for now Barron) are just slimy sycophants trying to gain daddy's approval while swindling money out of MAGA morons, Hunter is doing cocaine and sleeping with prostitutes. Its never really in our discourse for anti-Biden posts to criticize Hunter, he's become a micro celebrity in his own right. If anything we literally like Hunter better than Joe

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

We had a user who would uncritically support Russia and Operation Z. A "Z poster", if you will. They were banned on several accounts and no one really missed them.

Some of us tepidly support the CPRF, which is largely controlled opposition. We recognize that counting since 2014, there's a lot of propaganda, civilian strikes, and land mines coming from both sides. Most of us favor an immediate armistice along the present LOC that follows pretty closely a "dividing line" for the plurality ethnicity as evidenced by the past 30 years of linguistic, electoral, and poling data. And we favor quick peace as opposed to continued hostility that likely will go nowhere.

It sucks that Ukraine's self-determination is being jeopardized by Russia. It sucks that Luhansk's self-determination is being jeopardized by Ukraine. It sucks that there's a geopolitical standoff between the two strongest military powers that overlays this. It sucks that the only imaginable ruling party in Russia is a reactionary capitalist one that was ushered in by Clinton's intervention. And it sucks that they're all probably just going to die in a field to resolve it, and make the situation in Bosnia look like a vacation resort in comparison.

There is a silver lining in that we are seeing a great power struggle to subjugate its neighbor, and also in that the wearing down of NATO and Russia allows the less belligerent, more progressive, emerging superpower to have more sway in the world. Some might say that makes it "worth it" but I certainly don't.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Still nothing bad about either Trump or Putin.

Its because we don't have to convince y'all that Trump and Putin are bad because you already think that. We'd just be spitting into an echo chamber, preaching to the choir. There's no point. To be clear we dunk on Trump all the time. We do not like him.

Why do you think that leftists have to say "but also btw Trump is also bad" every time we criticize Biden? That would make no sense.

Anarchy and Communism are not the fucking same, what a retarded meme

To anyone offended, Go watch "The Ringer"

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

There is overlap especially when you don't confuse communism as the broader framework with state communism or even worse soviet communism.

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I have an idea of what a state is, but what's a "soviet"? That's not an English word.

What does "soviet" mean in Russian?

[–] anachronist@midwest.social 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

I know you're being cute but "soviet" is indeed a word in English: http://dict.org/bin/Dict


  Soviet
      adj 1: of or relating to or characteristic of the former Soviet
             Union or its people; "Soviet leaders"
      n 1: an elected governmental council in a communist country
           (especially one that is a member of the Union of Soviet
           Socialist Republics)

And it means what I intended it to mean, the official state ideology of the USSR: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ideology_of_the_Communist_Party_of_the_Soviet_Union

[–] infuziSporg@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

That sounds bland, I like the idea of council communism better.

How do you say "council communism" in Russian?
