We're a liberal instance and some people don't like that.
we're centrists. we hold the political center between anarchism and Marxism-Leninism.
anyone i’ve ever met claiming to be a centrist was in reality uninformed politically and using the label as a shield for their similarly uninformed takes.
That's the joke. There is no center in the west. As the general political spectrum is inherently right.
No actually we're centrists. Maybe you're just far right?
☝🏽 We see some good points in communism and anarchism, without veering to either extreme.
No actually, we're a Hillary Clinton fansite, you may not be but I'm #StillWithHer
Liberals are right though
It's a bit within Hexbear. Something about the old subreddit and "I'm the only true leftist here" discourse.
They were very obviously being facetious....
It's technically a leftist website, but only due to me: The One True Leftist. The rest of them are libs
I don’t give a shit about your politics. You’re all toxic assholes that just make the internet annoying.
you're being kind of a toxic asshole rn ngl
Wow what's up with this immediate hostility? The other user was being completely civil.
spoiler
PRODUCTIVITY CHECK: Are you typing this from a public workplace, classroom, dinner table, library, queue, etc? If so, GET YOUR ASS BACK IN GEAR!
If you're not posting at work, what are you even doing?
No need to jump in a conversation fists swinging.
Tough to have decades of indoctrination questioned, isn't it?
You're a bunch of 4Chan users cosplaying as leftists and some people don't like that.
Drats! The one true leftist has figured out our ruse! For three whole years we’ve been meticulously crafting a safe space for queer and marginalized people to speak freely without condescension and infantilization from privileged folks, all as a bit, to eventually confuse users of a FOSS Reddit alternative. You got us. Pat yourself on the back. I can’t believe you figured it out.
Wait, it was all a ruse? I have already brought the whole collection of true leftist theory (Harry Potter complete collection) all for nothing?
Yeah, 4chan, known for being vehemently opposed to racism, sexism, homophobia, ableism, and all other forms of bigotry. You can tell we're all 4chan users because of how we're literally the opposite of 4chan users in basically every way.
we are about as far from 4chan as you can get, we're just rude to losers like you who equate queer liberationist leftists with incel pedophile racists on 4chan
Go fuck yourself!
(P.S. This is why we're rude sometimes, absolutely go and fuck yourself)
How are we like 4chan users? We filter slurs and ban users who try to engage in hate speech. We offer content/NSFW warnings. We don't doxx or send death threats and ban those who try.
I want to know why you looked at Hexbear and saw 4chan.
Ahh the one true leftist is here! Gatekeeping.
?
I've never used that website, I'd imagine most hexbear users haven't. We're actually reddit refugees from 3 years ago, thank you very much 😤.
Not like that's much better lol.
There's no cosplay here, I can promise you that. I'm bi and communist, don't know about other users.
You got us, all of our theory reading groups, real life mutual aid, and threads about loving our trans comrades have all been part of an elaborate 3-year long running gag to trick you, the main character.
We're to the left of you. Cope. Seethe. Communism or barbarism, and it's pretty clear what you're into
Comments like this have really shown me that liberals don't actually care about beliefs at all (hexbear having diametrically opposed beliefs to 4chan). They only care about tone.
