    New drinking game. You take a shot everytime some hexbear pops into another instance and posts any comment that:

    1. Is positive towards Russia, China, or the DPRK.
    2. Is negative towards NATO
    3. Is genocide apologetics, or dismisses human rights violations by current or former communist countries as fake or not something to worry about

    Garanteed to kill you before the day is over.

      Yeah, take a shot every time one of us dirty commies denies the existence of Saddam’s WMDs. The biggest propaganda machine in history would never lie about it’s rivals.

            It’s wild that I didn’t even mention brigading, but most of the comments from hexbears are defensive about it. It’s not brigading to comment on posts on other instances, so stop feeling insecure about it. Especially when there are so many other valid reasons people hate you guys.

              Yeah my bad, I mistook you for another idiot.
              Of course we are defensive about it! Its a tiring accusation.
              Yes so much to hate like analysing news, investigating claims and not tolerating bigots. Gets you big mad.

                I was speaking more along the lines of the endless emotes and troll comments. I don’t think people have a problem with many of the comments that have actual meat to them, even if they vehemently disagree with what’s said, like I often do. The ones posting the same trollface emote fifty times though? That’s assnine and annoying. Then those same users complain that nobody wants to “debate” them. That’s not debate. It’s not even a conversation.

                  take a step back and notice that those comments are in response to someone else engaging in bad faith behaviour. Hexbear does not have a downvote function, which has fostered a culture of mocking people acting in bad faith. If you do not like people dunking on idiots, then get mad at the idiot

      Brigading is clicking on the article that is on the top of all brigading
      Why is it inherently bad to be negative towards NATO and good to be positive towards Russia, China or the DPRK? I thought you guys liked nuance.
      I have yet to see anyone do genocide apologetics or dismiss human rights violations. Thinking critically and investigating claims is a good thing, and you thinking otherwise shows how pathetic you are.

      New drinking game:
      Take a shot when libs call people disagreeing with them “brigading”
      Take a shot when libs use the word Tankie or authoritarian without being able to define them.
      Take a shot when libs fail to provide a source.
      Take a shot when the only source they can provide is Wikipedia, Kiev independent or Radio Free ____
      Take a shot when they do double genocide theory.
      Take a shot when they use bigoted language.
      Take a shot when they act like smug little shits and then cry foul when they get treated like smug little shits.

        Here is the thing. It’s only liberals that threats this as a football game were you have to cheer on one of the teams. If you actually know the history and some form of idea about the geopolitical stage, you can be on the side that actually wants peace. Not “until the last Ukrainian is dead” that the west wants.

      How dare anyone be negative towards the belligerent arms cartel that has had its hand in multiple coup governments, and destroyed numerous countries.

      You all act so offended by people not swallowing your narrative.

      Why would you do that? How does it sound funny to you that US propaganda is so important to you that you would poision yourself if you weren’t surrounded by it? It get you were trying to make a joke but the joke is that, " if I encounter anything other than US propaganda I need to self harm so I don’t acknowledge it."

      It is just wild to me that you exist in a state where this seems like a banger post.

          You do understand reality exists right. It isn’t just US propaganda vs Russian propaganda. There is an actual objective truth that can be found. It isn’t particularly hard. No one here is claiming to have special wisdom here.
