What the hell is hexbear? This is like the 3rd time I've seen it mentioned today
Rowdy and very active left-leaning instance which recently rejoined the rest of lemmy. They tend to be very vocal in calling out racism, sexism, homophobia and other forms of bigotry, which has made certain users very angry. On the other hand, some of them seem to be very tolerant of certain authoritarian countries, which makes a certain other group of users very uncomfortable.
Left leaning? Every post I saw from them before finally filtering the instance was heavily right leaning and filled with everything you just claimed they are against.
Do you have any links to prove this right leaning behavior?
No, because I filtered the entire instance after the 4th "OwN duh LiBs" post.
They consider liberals too right wing, that's why they want to own them iirc
This is correct. They're way too the left of US liberals and are generally sick of the domination US liberals have in US politics. (The same can be said of the UK.)
FWIW i'm mostly with them on this. I'm an anarchist and also far left, though i didn't join their instance when i came to lemmy (obviously).
Unlike all those right wing LIBERALS. We do our own things. Denying genocide
As in it never happened? Because I've got a bridge for sale if so.
Well can you at least explain what was right wing about what you saw?
Bros unironically don't think liberals are right wing. What do you think they'll have to say? Right wing is when you shout "Death to Israel?"
Lol what are you even trying to say? The incoherence is funny considering you’re from a literature instance
What do you find confusing? It's a pretty simple statement.
Who is “bros”? If it’s hexbear, im pretty sure hexbear does consider liberals right wing
Opposing a genocidal ethnostate is right wing?
"Bros" are the people you are talking to, who are complaining that the hexbears call capitalists right wingers. The hexbears consider liberals right wing because they are.
The second is an example of something a hexbear might say that someone who doesn't know anything about politics might interpret as right wing thought.
This should be extremely clear to a reader who understands both the current discussion and underlying basic theory, unless they just assume anything they can't parse is an attack and lash out in attempted retaliation.
Consider requesting clarification in the future before you resort to personal attacks. Especially ones that say much about you, and not much about the person you are attacking.
You were responding to me asking about what was right wing about hexbear. Was it not reasonable that I assumed your response was referring to hexbear? Your reply was vague to the point of incoherence and I pointed it out, im not going to save your feelings in a thread where people are defending capitalism.
Anyways it seems we agree about opposing liberals from the left and opposing Israel so I’m going to disengage after this. Genuinely, have a good day!
