I was honestly not excited about federation and still think we will be de-federated within hours (is that possible?) because liberals cannot stand being so consistently embarrassed by Marxists BUT I will say that a major factor in my radicalization was finding r/chapotraphouse years ago back on reddit. For every lib we dunk on, others will start to wonder and ask questions and even laugh along with communist jokes (by far the funniest on the internet). Liberalism actually has an extremely limited appeal, the democrats excite almost no one, and it’s true that some of their more lukewarm supporters just don’t know that you can fight liberalism without being a fucking nazi.

MODERATORS
I would disagree that liberalism has "extremely limited" appeal. Many people are perfectly happy with the mediocrity offered by liberalism, and that's one of the major challenges, that so many people prefer it over radical change of any kind.
Liberalism: acceptable to many, desirable to few.
I mean it's boosted by the fact that it's the dominant ideology and permeates everything. for most people, it's existed without question their entire lives. so I'm not sure how happy people will be with it when they're offered a real alternative, even among people who objectively benefit from it.
Yeah the benefit of being the default is huge. Incumbency bias is strong, and liberalism doesn't bad enough at first to most people, so they assume its fine. You either have to be curious about the truth, or get fucked over by the system to really start to question it. It exists in a state of not so bad that people hate it, but clearly not the best, so people just go along with it as it is easiest to do so.

I literally found CTH because I saw liberals on r/latestagecapitalism talking about "the scary dirtbag chapos" who "tell right-wingers to post hog" and was thought to myself "Wait no these people sound awesome, actually. I am so sick of people trying to play nice with actual Nazis" and decided to see what you guys were actually like and it turns out you aren't scary at all. Lol.
no im scary
Put it this way, CTH was tiny compared to the size of reddit yet it had such an impact on the site that Reddit's admins wanted it gone to stop the left pressure it created.
Hexbear is significantly larger comparatively when compared with the size of Lemmy. The influence we have on Lemmy is larger than it was on reddit. Currently at least, assuming Lemmy continues to grow that might not be true in future, but for now it absolutely is. Particularly because we're only on a few instances.

Bots are like 60% of all posts and comments online. Most of the time you're talking to bots designed to click-bait you. I'm probably talking to only bots right now. Just how it is.
Sounds like you made shit up so you can argue against it.
Beep boop I am programmed to destroy the west boop beep.
Good bot. Start any time, the people of the west yearn for freedom.
Chinese bot accounts have more humanity than western liberals
Say what you will about those Chinese bots, I've never heard one advocate for a nuclear holocaust.
Chinese bot: "I'm just wandering around China eating good food and enjoying scenery. Look at this cool train and neat skyscrapers. Panda!"
Western liberal: "BLOOD! BLOOD! BLOOD! THE LINE CAN ONLY BE APPEASED BY THE SACRIFICE OF THE VITAL ESSENSE OF THE POOR ON THE ALTAR OF CIVILITY!"
I wish I could wander around China eating good food and looking at cool trains

To the reddit refugee, liberals, whatever: Your system is evil. You may not notice it because you are a cozy Labour aristocrat (even if doing "manual" labor, lmao) mostly worried about your slice of the bloody fucking pie. One week as an out trans person sees more hate than you will ever experience, there is fucking blood on most of the things you consume for fun, ask yourself how you get this or that snazzy device you fucking uncaring roman. Ask yourself why bananas are cheaper than apples in North America, ask yourself why thousands of migrants drown in the fucking piss water you euro fucks skinny dip in, who fucking harvests your watery shit vegetables.
Look at the millionaire while he pretends he is your friend, listen to the pod, check your boxes, do your "polsci", read the virtual toilet rag editorials, shudder at the thought of fucked up, desperate people doing honest mistakes, fall for the lies, laugh at the Stalin quote about his heart of stone, then notice you don't even have anything close to a heart beating in your pilates toned, conscious living chest
Your system is rotten. Some of us honestily tried to fix it, but you wouldn't have it. Vote Blue if you think it saves you, you could at least admit you are being blackmailed by a duopoly. Europe: You couldn't even get out of the neoliberal shit if you wanted to. You are too stagnant and now you are falling to the guys you derided as untermensch, "uneducated", or "autocratic" (rich coming from you lmao)
I, personally, have no great hopes for china, though you might ask yourself why your "concern" is so focused on this country, while you never acted up before about any western injustice. But fuck you and fuck anything you stand for. We will not rush to save it. We hope to survive, at least some of us, despite of all your "help" and "efforts"
uncritical support to comrade @[email protected]'s efforts to kindly engage with the libs in the anti China thread that's active right now. I appreciate that someone is in there not just sending ppb but I'm not gonna do it lol
I actually don't think I've seen anything like this on this site before:

throwback to the

Jesus Christ. What happened in here 
I rolled a Nat 20 on Vicious Mockery so the libs are taking 8d4 psychic damage. (I am level 18)
Edit: they're not even defending themselves well in the comments due to having disadvantage on attack rolls
The Shitposter class becomes so OP when you pick the Numerous & Belligerent feat

chart for visiting libs to throw a dart at before calling us tankies
Where were you when this thread popped off
the maoist uprising against the landlords was the largest and most comprehensive proletarian revolution in history, and led to almost totally-equal redistribution of land among the peasantry
Wow so you think it's okay that landlords were killed and the land was given back to the working class it was stolen from. No wonder everyone hates hexbear, this filth site is full of hatred.
