Lol what the actual fuck is going on hexbear. We’re supposed to accept genocidal jackboots (some with nazi tattoos), apparently we’re remaking the clean Wehrmacht myth with how “propaganda” affects those who join the military even though most military is middle-class and on a DPRK post you can see a “Yay, more bombs” tongue-in-cheek post!
This is literally all happening within the past like week.
More and more glad they banned me from their instance.
Turns out Platner literally guarded the Abu Ghraib where he got his first combat experience. This keeps getting worse and worse lol
Remember! I’m emotional and lack analysis because of this! Now add in a random diatribe about a AES state and call it self-crit to complete the slop-chain.
Yeah, glad I stopped using Hexbear anywhere near as much a few months ago. Hell of a lot of idealism and supporting Yankee bullshit.
The change has been happening for over a year. This time last year the admin team was picking off/driving out quality power posters and while pulling in libs from blue sky and reddit. Remember when they tried to permaban Awoo? That was not a one off it was just them finding the limits of who they could purge in their quest to liberalize the community.
The rot always spreads from the top. And anti-imperialist sentiments are always the first thing to go.
Putting it that way makes sense.
I was driven out of there a month ago or so for similar reasons. There’s a problem with the mods, they defended Zionist arguments for years regarding the Israel emoji and banned anybody who brought it up.
I remember that. Civility policing. All too familiar.
Nazi bar
yeah the discussion around vets is making me super uncomfortable there.
I think it’s gross how you stating that it made you uncomfortable got you a downvote. Person can direct their ire at me all they want behind the block-wall, downvoting you for stating that is just gross.
Glad I blocked them.
