Hexbear and .ml covering their ears and yelling "lalalalala"

[–] [email protected] 72 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Nah, Hexbear is cheering the genocide on. They're mask-off at this point.

Look at lemmy.ml and they're on the verge of calling zelensky himself a nazi.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Accusing a Jew of being a nazi. I don't even know what to say....

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

To be fair, it wouldn't be unprecedented .

Not really on the verge, many of them have been justifying the invasion because of neozasim in Ukraine, which is indeed a problem, but Russian born Putinesque neofascism is probably not the cure for it.

Just so you understand, there has never even been neo-Nazism in Ukraine. And there was no "problem"; this problem was artificially spread by Russia.

These guys rose in popularity because they fought against Russian-backed rebel groups better, so in a sense previous comment is right

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I don't understand how the fact that those neo-Nazis gained popularity in the current war, makes the previous comment, that negates the existence of neo-Nazism in Ukraine, correct.

If your enemy is a Jew and you hate Jews just call them self hating! Easy!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Weird that that’s getting downvotes. Especially when that’s the official Russian position.

[–] winterayars 5 points 1 year ago

It's not only the official position of Russia, it's the standard operating procedure for all kinds of people.

And they ban you for Calli it a genocide.

Always ridiculous takes from lemmygrad users. I see a lot from kbin as well, but I'm assuming selection bias or something

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I'm pretty sure they would say that ukraine shouldn't exsist anyway because the US propaganda is taking over them or whatever.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I don't understand, are the people on these servers kremlin bots or are they really that stupid?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I think they are just trolls. Hexbear has a community called "The Dunk Tank" where they proudly announce when they successfully "dunked" on someone, also known as arguing in bad faith with prejudicial hostility and no will to listen until the other side gives up and leaves. They mark that as a win in their book and applaud to it.

It's like they're completely new to the internet. Who does this anymore?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

They make it thier whole identity

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Hexbear cheers for both Russia and Hamas

America bad, therefore any possible challenge to American hegemony good, even if it's literal fascists.
