I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    These pathetic foxes are pissed they’ve been neutralized by defederation.

    Hexbear has been around for 4 years, unfederated. It wasn’t until 10 months ago that they started slowly federating. At least try to be honest.

    That real lefties, even communists don’t take them seriously.

    Who determines what a “real lefty,” or a “real Communist,” if not Communists who regularly read theory, talk about it, and post memes that require understanding theory to even get?

    It’s just 4chan cosplaying communism. Truly despicable.

    Do you genuinely believe people would put in that much effort to meme amongst themselves something they don’t agree with?

      Oh, they do agree with the imagery. Not so much with the actual left-wing values. Which is why I used the word “cosplay”.

      Leftism isn’t just aesthetics, folks. It’s not enough to just hate american imperialism.

        On what bounds do you say that? If they read Leftist theory, advocate for Leftism, and attack Imperialism and Capitalism, then they are Leftists.

          No, because substituting one imperialism with another one you like more means you never understood any leftist theory to begin with.

            In what manner does Hexbear advocate for expanding predatory IMF loans to the Global South, and exporting machinery and industrial Capital directly to the source of the Raw Materials so as to over-exploit the Global South by directly owning these sources of production?
