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
Lol you got banned from hexbear and now are crying about it on lemmy.world?
Well, banned for having mild opinions on US politics and then getting defensive when someone called them a genocide enabler. Sounds like hexbear did them a favor. If only the right-wing loonies were so quick to ban people who disagreed with them instead of setting up a big slide to draw them further in.
You’re looking at the lemmygrad ban where they got banned for saying that the opinions about US politics held by a person whos country is being exploited by the US don’t matter.
What crime did that asshole commit? Was he against communist genocide or something?
Also, why are you not proudly using your hexbear account in this thread, are you ashamed, comrade?
Here is a sample of the enriching experience they brought to the site: https://lemm.ee/post/41483398/14572285
and I’ll leave it to you to figure out why I’m not posting with my hexbear alt on lemmy.world
The fact that you think that thread full of putin propaganda speaks in defense of your side is hilarious.
More the fact that they got detailed replies but their best counter in that whole thread where the two replies where they quickly google some shit and paste the first results and provided no thoughts of their own.
Those replies are terrible. The one with all the news headlines is peak hexbear. “Ukraine isn’t a utopia, therefore it’s a dystopia”. It’s a classic example of black and white thinking, while they conveniently ignore all of the Zwastikas on the side they’re cheering for.
What?
More to the point, OPs replies were worse or non-existent. If you are going to bring up the ukraine war in a forum that is known to be on the other side of your argument you should have a better explanation than “Putin wants to revive the USSR” or at least something to back it up. Or at least engage the people trying to explain their viewpoints.
That collection of news headlines are trying to imply “Ukraine isn’t perfect, therefore Putin’s invasion is justified because Ukraine is full Nazi and also the western media is trying to cover it up!”. It’s an immature view of the world, where something being imperfect means it’s literally hitler. It’s something you get past as you grow up, for the most part. I know some adult tankies IRL so it’s not a given that people grow out of it, but each and every single one of them suffers from black and white thinking that negatively impacts their life in many ways.
Let’s agree that Putin wanting to bring back the USSR is silly. I’m not really defending OP, but calling the responses in that thread “detailed replies” is… oof. They’re detailed in the same way Time Cube is detailed. OP wandered into the pig sty and got muddy, but at least he’s not one of the pigs wallowing in the mud.
Just saw this comment. Yes it was silly, and in no way meant to be taken literal. Looking at the history of those states that were under the USSR, putin is trying to keep control of them
They’re detailed, they’re sourced and they give a coherent explanation. You can call them crock or whatever but it’s something you can actually argue against. None of this applies to the responses OP gave.
Also you’re really not understanding what is being said about the nazis in ukraine, namely that they are in power and control of the military. Which is an argument Im not gonna get into since I don’t know enough about it, but there is more to it than the "ukraine is imperfect because it has nazis and this is enough justification case closed. " argument you claim is being put forth.
There’s like a concerning amount of actual swastikas (among other charming symbols) on the guys carrying US weapons though
14 words zyklon here to correct the record
And here it is again, the nuanced thinkers with their thoughtful replies. What would we do without such enrichment? How would we survive?
Fuck off, moron.
Lol. I didn’t get banned from hexbear. Nice try though. Now run along with your bullshit
You were banned from multiple communities on it. The modlog doesn’t lie.
Yeah. I wasn’t aware, but it’s all good
They linked the hexbear modlog
And apparantly that’s like the 3rd time someone banned you from a community on hexbear for doing that shit
Haha. And you decided to waste your mental energy to try and call me out. Two questions
Do you feel better about yourself?
What were the circumstances of the ban?
Edit: no response, so I guess I’ll enlighten you (and anyone who is interested)
The first ban was because I said something along the line of “Can we stop trying to normalize the use of the word ‘tard’”
The second ban was because I said “Putin had no reason to invade Ukraine”
And the third was along the lines of “I like having civil conversations with people with opposing views because it might give me info I didn’t know about and I might do the same, and if you talk disrespectfully to me, I talk disrespectfully to them”
But I’m the asshole?
using the r slur or any variation thereof would already net you a ban so I doubt you were calling out someone elses use of it.
and i very much doubt the sincerity of your other characterizations, can you link the converations?
Omg you are the lib who thought Putin was a commie trying to revive the USSR!
Why does lemm.ee have so much Tankies?
We are not some anti-communist echochamber and being exposed to differning viewpoints radicalizes some of us
Sorry if I gave that impression, but I I don’t talk with ruscists.
I- is this xenophobia? I’ve never heard that one before lmao
Just revelling in the fact that the first thing you do after your ban is running to the most lib instance looking for reassurance that it’s the ebil tankies who are crazy
Ok @[email protected]
That’s exactly what this is.
