    I wish hexbear was like this, instead they fellate capitalist imperialist autocrats like Putin because it feels cooler to be a contrarian than class conscious to them.

      Yeah, it’s so weird that they’re sooooo in love with Russia and China. They claim to be communist and/or socialist, but those countries aren’t what I’d consider to be either of those things. They’re just… regular ol’ dictatorships full of human rights abuses. Why the hell would they want to support them?

      Hexbear is good for one thing and one thing alone: Tearing the incoming wave of neo-fascists from reddit a new one. Regulars know not to mess with them but newcomers will try (and fail) to debate them which always results in hilarity and a lot of accounts getting banned.

      But but but billionaire nationalist dictator from country opposing “west” = opposing capitalism = supporting (my flavor of) communism good???

      Seriously, how do you even arrive at such conclusions? What would Russia et al need to do to be perceived as worse than “the west”?

      Yeah, that drove me absolutely up the wall. Russia’s economy was liberalized after the fall of the Soviet Union, and China even invited Milton Goddamn Friedman to consult on their economic plans.

    I wish they’d stay to hexbear. I had a post on lemmy.ml removed two days ago because I mentioned how China removes gay characters from their movies. They then banned me for two weeks. Another one removed for suggesting it’d be a bad idea to let North Korea host FIFA.

    That FIFA post was insane. Endless comments saying it’d be a good idea or that America is a criminal monster so of course North Korea should have FIFA. I have never blocked so many people in my life.
