Hexbear is very against stochastic violence, which on the left is called “Propaganda of the Deed”

I thought propaganda of the deed was that anarchist thing where they'd do soup kitchens or do cool shit in hopes that the people they help out would become leftists eventually lol

That’s not true at all. Look at any post about landlords or Zelenskyy or “bourgeoisie”. Count the number of pictures or references to guillotines.

This is like a children's picture book-level of understanding of the differences between these. This same group of people are responsible for getting you things like healthcare, or the 8 hour work week, or fucking paid vacation. Maybe listen to them and read a little more before posting dumbass takes like this.

LMAOOO WHAT?? I'm just using the term they use for themselves.

I ran into a group of Trotskyists once and it turned out they were absurdly boring and wanted me to grab coffee with them for weeks on end before they'd tell me anything, and they apparently read a metric fuckton of theory. So now I know the word Trotskyist. But I guess that makes me a tankie 🤷

Yes, I understand that Marx and Engels did not have realistic political ideals

Have you read any of Marx? I'm not an ML but if you even glance at Capital you can tell that Marx's whole schtick was using science to come up with realistic political ideals.

However, being bombarded with it 24/7 is a great way to make people numb to politics and stop caring.

I have literally never experienced this.

What does this mean lmfao, leftists discuss shit ad nauseum, have you even met a leftist

[-] epicspongee@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago

Where do they do this? Do you have links? So far what I've seen is they comment on posts that go viral on their instances, as they're allowed to do. I can't say I've had any problems with Hexbear users.

Please link a source. I haven’t been able to find anything about this.

This is why I am bald lol. Just shave every day in the shower and boom problem solved. Also I hate how my hair feels when it’s hot out.

To expand on this, it’s not just capitalism - it’s greed.

No it's just capitalism lol. Every company has to continue reaping in profits for capitalists or else it dies. This is just Reddit's way of doing that.

Evergreen meme:

Idk, gonna be a very hot take, but I like my beliefs challenged and believe that everyone deserves a voice

Nazis had a voice once, and folks listened to them. And we ended up with the Holocaust.

Might be controversial but I don't believe that people who want to murder minorities deserve a voice. I feel like that's a pretty reasonable bar to set lol.
