The tone of your post was definitely off but hexbear does have some serious moderation issues. They could have just as easily taken the post down and DMed you to ask you to maybe write it in a less acuatory and confrontational way.
Just take the ban. You are in good company.
Did you snag any cuttings?
Fucking based to the bone. This guy and his countrymen are are doing the most honorable and morally correct acts at extreme costs to themselves and he just acts like it is the obvious most normal thing to do.
White supremacy is a side effect of imperialism. If white europeans hadn’t colonized the world they would have less basis for “scientific racism” and less ability to force those ideas into the minds of other people. The reason europeans were so successful in the domination of other nations is just a question of lucky material conditions.
Lucky european material conditions theory: The bubonic plague came at a perfect time for europe to allow for a rejiggering of their politics, economy, and technology. The sudden drop in population meant that they could rehabilitate arable land as they needed it instead of having to constantly make more from scratch. It changed the limiting factor to one of labor instead of food. It allowed them to over produce food for storage and gave them a buffer against crop failures for several generations. Basically the survivors of the black plague had breathing room and practice fighting each other for a few generations with little distractions just in time for intercontinental war to be technologically feasible.
Other parts of the world the population grew as fast as food production would allow with little room to stop and reorganize.
My theory on the cause of racial supremacy in general: 2 people have a fight, 20 generations later their offspring are still fighting and see themselves as superior to the other side because they “know” their ancestors were the morally correct one even if they don’t know what the fight was about. (the first book of the Abrahamic bible is this story over and over again.) That moral high ground eventually becomes solidified into a divine right when one side prevails over another. The victors now believe themselves anointed by a higher power. With their age old feud over they find new people to demonize. They dig up old feuds or invent new ones because it has become so ingrained in their society that they are superior and they need someone to be superior to. The bigger their society gets the bigger their enemies become and the reasons for their hatred more ineffable.
White supremacy is way older than the 1600s.
Dont leave yet! Go down swinging! get them to kick you out and make them all look like authoritarians!
you too oppo
Living in a vehicle isn’t so bad when you are young. Getting a job picking fruit in the summer is a pretty good way to make money with no education. Lots of places will let you set up on the farm during the harvest. If you work hard and stay money smart you can make enough in summer and fall to get by.
There is only one thing to do with people who support genocide. Unless the new demands are “face the wall” they don’t go far enough.
Good job. Maybe while he is digging around in your old posts he’ll get overwhelmed with based ideas.
I dont get too much into the podcasting sphere because most of them just shit me off.
I have issues with Roddric Day of Redsails but most of that is an issue with his personality/writing style. He does “acktchewallly” arguments way too often and sometimes feels like he starts with his conclusions and works backwards. Sometimes I disagree with his conclusions but most of those disagreements are irrelevant because the truth of the matter will work itself out in practice. Other times his analysis is right on the money.
Underrated podcaster/writer I have to give a shout out to is Justin Podur and his substack The Anti-empire Project. His Civilizations series is a really good in-depth leftist analysis of modern geopolitical history. His Gaza sitreps were also really good during the active fighting phase. The whole Tankie Therapy crew are based as fuck.
The time of monsters is really setting in isn’t it.

boooooo. This is full of anti-AES ultra bullshit.
Well that worked well. Apparently pointing out that immigration is a result of racist colonialism is “mansplaning.” This is why demsocs are called “Social fascists” or why Stalin called them the “moderate wing of fascism.” Its like this person built their political identity in university 20 years ago and never questioned any of those ideas since then. They say they “studied marx” but they have no grasp of historical materialism. They talk about the “nordic model” like it happened in a vacuum and ignore that since the fall of the USSR the Nordic nations severely eroded every advantage they had over the rest of the capitalist nations.
Just be glad that it isn’t the Conspiracy Theory autism. That shit will get you into the psych ward.
I needed to hear this right now. I’m chipping away at a demsoc and they are way more dem than soc. I had thought they were close to a break through but then they said anti-immigration and racism are just human nature, and I’m like “wow how did I think this was a good person with a few bad ideas?”
I had to try hard to not go off about how racist that is and how they are so racist there is no hope for them. Instead I managed to just point out the latent racism calmly and incorporate it into how a history of how democratic socialism is a dead end and only worked when there was a USSR to play the capitalists off.
Engles was rich as fuck.
Being poor doesn’t make you a better socialist. Its is more noble to go against your own self interests to fight for the betterment of all people than it is to fight for your fair share.
We are on the other side of summer and just got the first decent bit of rain in months. Summer seemed to last an extra month and a half and then suddenly the temperature dropped 10 degrees.
One of my earliest memories is a reoccuring dream I had for a few years. I remember waking up in terror when I was like 3 or 4 and my mom coming to calm me. I had the dream a few more times and I think I had it before the time I remember. The dream stopped when I was like 10 but the images are still there decades later.
I’m walking along the edge of an indoor public swimming pool and I fall in face first. I don’t slip or get pushed or anything. It’s literally like 2 seconds. I’m just moving along looking down to the left at the tiles of the edge of the pool and the water and then I fall in and wake up just before my face hits the water.
