Smugly satisfied pundit face
hexabear folks have been keeping their sad tissue list of kamala for years, they claim.
“we” just haven’t been paying attention to “them”
They really do find everything ‘problematic’ don’t they?
I don’t wish them ill will, I just think the whole idea of their instance and community is just… is it satire maybe?
is it a big joke I don’t get? I dunno but they’re way worse than lemmy grad. at least lemmy grad has an ethos.
It’s astro-turfed to hell. If you can bend your political opponents views to serve your purpose you have effectively turned a -1 to a +1. They also do your dirty work by sowing infighting and reaping dissatisfaction.
wow thank you. that explained several things.
Why would you expect a leftist community to not criticise a liberal politician? There are obvious ideological clashes between the two.
They’re not leftists, they’re fascists who use cry-bullying to lambast anyone who is against gulags.
I know this because I’m a leftist — I want the billionaire class destroyed at the atomic level. But I want these things because I value freedom, not the opposite.
All authoritarians are natural allies, and hexabears are utterly disconnected from reality, frothing at the mouth for violence — against whom? They don’t even fucking know.
These fuckers literally sign off “death to America” on half their posts, possibly unaware that countries don’t even exist (so how would you kill them?) — meaning they’re calling for the deaths of mixed communities of people with variegated opinions who’re already fighting the system as best they can. It doesn’t make any fucking sense.
Lol @ countries don’t exist. Death to America means death to its institutions and structures because they’re all inherently racist and imperialist and uphold class inequality.
For the non terminally online “Death to America” rhymes with “Death to Americans”. If that’s your goal, cool. If it isn’t your goal then your message is being lost on the people you wish to mobilize
I don’t really get your logic, tea rhymes with pee but I drink the former and not the latter. Both sentences have very different meanings. If you don’t understand what a sentence means then you just can ask. Also hexbear isn’t intended to mobilise anyone, it’s just a space where leftists can talk about life & politics freely.
I’m not sure if you are being obtuse or genuine. I’m just going to stick with have a nice day.

I was very susceptible to such groups when I was younger, I realize now that it’s simply easier to be against everything than it is to have real convictions. If we acknowledge a solution exists that requires sacrifice and hardwork then we’re kinda stuck having to get involved in it…
If we can imagine ourselves outside and above society we can claim our ‘work’ is more important even if all we’re doing is exactly the things we enjoy like arguing online, playing with guns, going to protests, etc, etc. We’re fighting against a huge and powerful evil so like of course we haven’t got a proper job that would be supporting the machine!
Conspiracy obsessives on the left and right may say different things but their lifestyles are incredibly similar, they’ll find endless excuses to dismiss the idea of being involved in anything constructive while role-playing as heros in a good vs evil battle that coincidentally requires them to live out their fantasies…
Lots of the hexbears seem to be for eliminating the existing billionaires, so they can take their place. It also seems to be a big part of the crypto scene. As opposed to the MAGAts that think they will magically join the Billionaires if they elect those assholes.
hexabears are utterly disconnected from reality
This sounds wrong. [email protected] has completely different views to Hexbear.
Its not that they criticise libs, its that they criticism everything and everyone. There is nothing that brings them joy other than being mad on the internet. You ask what they do like and they recoil in terror.
I actually see a lot of joy on hexbear especially in the trans community there :)
Living in a society as racist, classist and just plain cruel as the West can be very demoralising though so I don’t blame people for being doomerish about it. However the comments on Harris are mostly just funny jokes so I think I don’t really agree with your assessment.
I think that is true of many online trans communities. The ones I’ve brushed up against are very supportive of their members with varied reactions to people who are not members of the community. Obviously based on that non-group member’s behavior.
I have never found this to be true, you can ask anyone on Hexbear what they want and they will tell you.
Hell, [email protected] is the most pleasant place to discuss gaming on Lemmy IMO.
hexabear
Do you mean the tankie instance hexbear or do you mean the compounding of six bears? 🤔
All hail Hexabear, god of forests and eating salmon!
Salmocalypse
That sure is a thing!
way scarier than manbearpig
Are you cereal?!
Yeah, super cereal!
We don’t actually know how many bears the tankies are comprised of, but 6 does seem to fit the data. So basically it can be both.
Their argument is that it’s not about the candidate but the party it represents, the issues are of the party so any lider won’t do.
And if anyblider won’t do, their opinion doesn’t matter in this context so you can like ignore them.
But…the candidate literally tried to take power from that party.
Are they dumb too?
We have told you, our viewing audience, virtually nothing at all about the vice-president for three years, even though we are supposed to be… you know… “the news”.
Now here’s a reality television-style data dump on top of you, out of the blue and with a shrill emotional tone to it, even though we are supposed to be… you know… “the news”.
One can detect the obvious mechanism of political infotainment a little more clearly when they have to stop midway and change the cartridge. Or maybe it’s more like the grind of a sausage factory.
Horse race reporting must be fed
It was bad enough when it was just cable news networks fighting for ratings. Now that engagement-first feeds are involved we have hundreds of billions of dollars dependent on making sure people are as
upset“engaged” as possible.If we just said no campaigning before the second Tuesday in August we’d eliminate a lot wrong with our politics. Suddenly you don’t need to raise billions of dollars to be president because there’s no way to spend it all in that amount of time. The cost to purchase other seats goes down similarly.
I like your suggestion, except I’d go with October. September at the earliest. This all year every year election season bullshit has to go.
Oh yeah! She’s a happy and upbeat person, I remember now. Disgusting.
Isn’t she already the VP with the most tie breaking votes cast in the Senate?
I mean you could just report facts but why not introduce drama?
High on my own drama?
Trrruuuee!
