Anarchism
Anarchism is a social and political theory and practice that works for a free society without domination and hierarchy.
Social Ecology
Social Ecology, developed from green anarchism, is the idea that our ecological problems have their ultimate roots in our social problems. This is because the domination of nature and our ecology by humanity has its ultimate roots in the domination humanity by humans. Therefore, the solutions to our ecological problems are found by addressing our social and ecological problems simultaneously.

Quotes
Poetry and imagination must be integrated with science and technology, for we have evolved beyond an innocence that can be nourished exclusively by myths and dreams.
~ Murray Bookchin, The Ecology of Freedom
People want to treat ‘we’ll figure it out by working to get there’ as some sort of rhetorical evasion instead of being a fundamental expression of trust in the power of conscious collective effort.
~Anonymous, but quoted by Mariame Kaba, We Do This 'Til We Free Us
The end justifies the means. But what if there never is an end? All we have is means.
~Ursula K. Le Guin, The Lathe of Heaven
The assumption that what currently exists must necessarily exist is the acid that corrodes all visionary thinking.
~Murray Bookchin, "A Politics for the Twenty-First Century"
There can be no separation of the revolutionary process from the revolutionary goal. A society based on self-administration must be achieved by means of self-administration.
~Murray Bookchin, Post Scarcity Anarchism
In modern times humans have become a wolf not only to humans, but to all nature.
The ecological question is fundamentally solved as the system is repressed and a socialist social system develops. That does not mean you cannot do something for the environment right away. On the contrary, it is necessary to combine the fight for the environment with the struggle for a general social revolution...
~Abdullah Öcalan
Social ecology advances a message that calls not only for a society free of hierarchy and hierarchical sensibilities, but for an ethics that places humanity in the natural world as an agent for rendering evolution social and natural fully self-conscious.
~ Murray Bookchin

Hexbear is good and most of the negative things people have to say about it are completely made up
Idk about completely. They'll just straight up slobber on Putin's knob and it simply doesn't make sense without the community being compromised by a troll farm somewhere.
Xi at least has some deniability to his fascism and a hope of Da Revolushion turning a corner at some point. Putin's literally just a fascist invading his neighbors out of rank imperialism.
Yeah, this is the completely made up stuff I was talking about thanks for the demonstration. If you think anyone on hexbear is a fan of Putin you have obviously never opened the site even once.
Also if you were being homophobic like this on hexbear you'd be banned, which is the correct position to take
What part of that is homophobic?
Referring to sucking dick in an insulting way is a very common form of homophobia. The implication being that sucking dick is bad and shameful and is inherently insulting.
Sure if you completely disregard context you could interpret it as homophobic, but the way they used the insult was only to imply hexbear users are submissive towards Putin to the point of performing sexual favors for him. Not saying I agree with it, just trying to clarify and point out how you're being a bit over-zealous.
Funny how it's always sucking dick that is used pejoratively like that, just coincidentally of course.
Does putin not have peepee?
If Putin was AFAB I'm willing to accuse Hexbear of being clitsucking simpletons instead.
Your disagreement with @BlackDragon isn't going to be resolved by finding better insults. It's cringe.
Instead of doubling down on sexually derogatory language that can easily be interpreted as homophobic and misogynist, open your receipts drawer.
Who? Sounds like some guy complaining about people being mean to fascists and fascist collaborators.
If a 'fash-adjacent' person is telling you to not use homophobic language, you're probably doing something wrong.
Or I'm bi and don't care what hets think is homophobic compared to people that support a dictator genociding queers.
I've given you a 7 day ban for trolling. See you around.
Arguably just as misogynistic as it is homophobic, if not more so.
Homophobia is often rooted in misogyny, so...
