Notice how you’re not even arguing against my points?
Aren’t you being sensitive? (Lol I’m being an asshole on purpose here)
But why don’t you actually engage instead of name-calling? I’m legitimately trying to debate you.
Why would a minority that is going to get targeted by the trump administration go against their self interests in your mind, if not to stand for something? (Namely a genocide enabled by the democrats)
You think that’s “attacking” people?
Yes
Man you are a ultra sensitive bunch aren’t you?
And now you’re doing it again. And you don’t even realize it. You think name-calling is not insulting?
It doesn’t surprise me you got rightfully banned.
For a mere 30 days by the way. Doesn’t seem that authoritarian to me, but y’all keep being incorrect so…
You think pointing out actions have consequences is “attacking” people?
No, I think writing
Do I think the shoulder blame for Trump’s victory? Fuck yes.
Is attacking. And the reason would be very easy to find too IF you had bothered to listen to the voices and criticism of Arab people. They have been complaining about it for over a year while people like you told them to shut the fuck up and vote for the administration that literally killed their family members over in Gaza.
I’m sure THEY are the ones who aren’t aware of what’s going to happen to them (/s)
Cripes, how do you deal with the real world then?
Very well. In the real world I call out the same BS as I do here.
Do you go around in the real world blaming minorities as well?
Whatever, I think at this point given the members who have been commenting, yeah pretty much I agree I got a well deserved ban
Finally something positive then, my friend. Seems to me like it helped you to see a different POV… Not so bad in my opinion
So you attacked the people that didn’t wanted to vote for the party that was funding and arming the Israeli government while they carried out a genocide and you think that was unfair?
LMAO
Absolutely well deserved ban
Edit: hilarious how more often than not, the people complaining about being banned from over .ml completely deserved the ban
So… Your brilliant example of the whole system not being racist is: there are some POC in the current administration
Did I get this right?
I imagine then, following your “logic”, that the Nazi weren’t trying to commit genocide against Jewish people (among other groups of course) because they had some Jewish soldiers in their ranks, right? Or that black people weren’t enslaved in the US since some slavers had some black people in their houses?
Read my previous comment again, you still need it. And I won’t bother replying to you or your racist/bigoted views again
Since you are one, you can’t convince me otherwise.
You just wrote this too, correct?
If anti-racists and inclusive folks want to build a better future for minorities, they have to think outside of the CRT/DEI box because the system now is not unfavorable to minorities, only the poor.
Imagine thinking you are not racist while saying that the system is not unfavorable to minorities.
Fuck. Off. Racist
I don’t care about silencing you lmao. I specifically wrote that 3 TIMES ALREADY lmao.
You racists really love your victim-complex AND projection, uh?
Again, get fucked bigot
Everything you wrote is bigoted. You are simply another rightwing bigoted racist who doesn’t “agree” with CRT (as if an an academic field needed your bigoted approval to exist).
Get fucked
Listen, I am not racist, homophobic or transphobic or anything which looks down on others. If the US ever came to a civil war, I know what side I am fighting on.
This was your comment, yes?
The whole DEI stuff seems a bit like a Trojan horse to sneak in Marxist propaganda. Forcing people to accept immigrants with different cultural pov in a democracy is dangerous because you can end up relinquishing your country to another country’s agenda
I think we can all see what side you’ll be fighting with
I think the goal here is to bully me away from posting.
I already wrote my goal. To give people a better picture of OP’s views. You should read more carefully the replies you get lol
You’re the ones who are bigoted
LMAO
“I’m not racist, you’re racist”
This is still you, yes?
The whole DEI stuff seems a bit like a Trojan horse to sneak in Marxist propaganda. Forcing people to accept immigrants with different cultural pov in a democracy is dangerous because you can end up relinquishing your country to another country’s agenda.
Would you point out what fetish someone is interested in a comic sub?
Lmao that’s an extremely disingenuous and incorrect comparison. At most it would be:
Would you point out that someone is a transphobic rightwing troll in a comic sub?
And the answer is yes. I don’t tolerate those people. But you’re probably fine with them, I’m guessing
Isn’t this you as well?
I don’t agree with CRT (that legal and social systems help white people only), or that DEI addresses the core issues with bad luck creating uneven conditions for individuals. The core issue is that people of all races and cultures experience bad luck
I’m just reporting what you write :) you should own up what you say. I’m simply giving other users a full picture
To anyone liking this post, be aware that OP is just a rightwing bigoted troll who was banned by blahaj.zone because of it and also believes that CRT and DEI are “Marxist plots”
Um, no? Stop centering your political compass around a new center, where to you current leftists look rightwing according to it
Your reply shows to me that you are unfamiliar with socialism/communism and don’t entirely know what you’re referring to.
I’m not pushing anything towards the left, the left has always been to the…well, left.
The only thing that has swifted is the fact that a lot more people now are unfamiliar with what constitute as “left” and their perception of what is “extreme left” has changed because of their unfamiliarity with it. And because of right wing propaganda scare tactics like “everything I don’t like is communist!”
The compass has never moved. Only your perception of it has
“Why don’t you communists try to be more conservative?”
That’s a wild suggestion that I’ve never seen before lol
That is truly a 5 years old understanding of the current conflict
Ukraine is not (yet?) NATO either, so why send troops there?
Wouldn’t sending troops actually just escalate things further and drag the whole of NATO into it if anything were to happen to those soldiers?
Just cleaning up after your whitewashing
What crimes exactly has any of those communities committed? I must have missed those posts.
Also…I admitted some views can be extreme/incorrect. I never said they are the perfect instance. None is. And that’s not how you use that term by the way, my friend
Their community is just a bunch of trolls like you said
That’s not what I said :) you are very obviously misquoting my comments
I’m glad the instance I use block overtly toxic ones
Neat. Good for you then, that’s the beauty of the fediverse
Sorry this is not true.
It is true. That’s MY experience with them
They are very aggressive and attack every viewpoint harshly
And? I do too when I’m heated about a topic. If your viewpoint is to defend fascism, why not attack it? And I’m not talking specifically about you here. But if we’re debating, I expect someone to bring a good debate.
The reason instances ban them is they are not here for the conversation
Sorry this is not true.
And I already gave my explanation as to why in my original comment.
Nothing good comes from that community, only confrontation
So just like your comment? Lol jokes aside, I already addressed everything you said before. But I’m happy you were able to disagree and get it out of your system. I’ve noticed a lot of Lemmy users have this weird obsession with those instances, when in reality they are just instances. They have both shitty and normal users. It’s always more nuanced than that.
Hexbear, together with Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml are left wing, communist instances here on Lemmy.
A lot of (new) users of Lemmy have very strong - as in negative - feelings about them because of their ideas. Which to me makes sense because a lot of these users tend to be more centrist in their views and have never read Marxist literature before.
I will be honest with you and tell you my experience: they can be dickish and straight up trollish in their behavior, but not anymore than your average online trolls. The actual main reason people dislike them, is because they stick together and sometimes “brigade” post which nominates them and talk shit about them.
I personally was on the receiving end of their trolling when I first joined Lemmy too. But among the trolls, there were also very nice users who gave me friendly replies. And I had great conversations with them.
Eventually I even decided to open an alt account in one of those instances to learn more about their views and engage with them on their political knowledge. I really enjoy learning from them and having open conversations about politics with them. Even when sometimes I see their more extreme opinions, I still try to always be open minded at first. More often than not, I will learn that something I used to think on a subject, was the result of historical misconceptions or straight up propaganda. That is not to say that they can’t be wrong of course. But it pays off to be receptive about new points of view.
There are some elements that can be considered extreme, especially to someone from the general public who has never engaged in political conversations with someone who is very much to the left. It takes a little adjustment if you want to try and engage because so much of the media and literature we consume reinforce our views on the system while they specifically try to be critical of it.
Bur FOR SURE you will never see that instance be racist or bigoted. I have lost counts how many times I’ve seen that in other instances, but with them, you know exactly where they stand on that. As in, they do NOT tolerate that.
Tldr: Hexbear (with Lemmygrad and Lemmy.ml) are openly communist instances on Lemmy. They are very vocals because they have a large userbase. They can be trolls that stick together sometimes. If you are politically interested/involved, I instead recommend joining one of their instances to see for yourself.
Edit: you can also tell how much people here have a negative feeling about those instances by the reactions in this post. Everything remotely critical is upvoted, while anything that even hints a positive opinion of them, will be downvoted. And then more and more users will start downvoting without even reading the comments. And they will start attacking users because they disagree and feel the need to attack them because “that instance bad”…in a way not too dissimilar from the brigading I mentioned before for some of the users from those instances. Showing you a real life example of how there are extreme users in every online community
A BIT worse!?
They literally enabled it, gave the funding, the weapons, the military support and everything else to literally make it possible.
If you’re not going to be serious, I’m not even going to engage
