Greetings dear lemm.ee folks,

I’m not like those other mean Hexbearians. I’m one of the good ones, I promise. I just want choke

I just want you to love me. I’m so sorry for being on Hexbear. Please, please forgive me. I’ll do anything. Anything.

Do you want me to stop using emojis? Done. No more PPB? Done. Intense sobbing

I hereby forswear socialism. I’m a liberal now. Do you love me now? Please? Please? Just pick me.

I humbly request that all parties involved in the comments refrain from using slurs or name-calling to reduce the workload on mods and admins.

Edit: @comr@hexbear.net got banned. Eat shit

        I think the liberal philosophy on this is that you can hate someone, think they’re morally wrong, think they’re a genocide denier or whatever, and still think they deserve a platform and space in the discussion. The communist take would be to eradicate harmful behaviors and patterns, for the sake of good, but since they’re liberals, they go with the liberal plan.

          Or, and bear with me here, I’m just dicking around and there isn’t any further depth or meaning to my comment.

          I said absolutely nothing to imply whether I’m liberal or if I have any issues with your political stance. But ok, assume whatever you want, I’m just here for the memes and shitposting.

          I guess I just assumed that you guys might not take things so seriously or personally.

            Honestly, you’re welcome to be here and I’m happy you’re around, as long as you respect that this is an explicitly anti-liberal space. Bear with us, if you get push-back it’s likely because our liberalism detectors are far more finely tuned than nearly anyone else you’ll have ever had discourse with (including possibly yourself?), and a lot of us will probably be fairly abrasive about it and not super clear on what specifically the liberalism that warranted the abrasiveness is. That’s just how it works in a very enclosed and homogenously leftist space. If I butt heads I like to make it super clear what the heart of my beef is in clear detail for the sake of good discourse.

            My original comment is pretty thoroughly informed by Mao’s Combat Liberalism (2 minute read don’t worry). My original comment will probably make a lot more sense with this as background.

            Beef or no beef, thanks for stopping by and engaging in a civil fashion, and I genuinely mean it.

            e: if you’re also a dirty commie like us, sorry if linking combat liberalism seems patronizing, but also this is the sort of thing I’d like to be called out on if I did it as well, so I’m golden rule-ing here and an open to crit

            the seeming insincerity is a mask. the truth is that we take everything extremely seriously at all times and make black humor to lighten the psychological load. you’ll see the dynamic in action when you wander into one of our patented Struggle Session threads, wherein we argue the ethics of rock stacking, and the veganness of outdoor cats.
