Lmao nice ableism asshole.

Don’t treat a fellow hexbear like the lemmy liberals please. We literally have rules about that.

You understand that there’s a difference in like, motive right?

Like however you feel about the IRA’s methods, their motives is still something worth fighting for. And honestly like when you REALLY fight for something like that, like actually do what’s necessary, its a messy process and you’re going to do things that moderate liberals look down on as going too far. We can argue about if all of their actions actually serve the cause, but what they wanted to do is something I agree with.

Versus ISIS? Really? What noble and positive goals does ISIS have?

Comparing the IRA to ISIS is legit disgusting.

OK I’m sorry maybe I’m letting the autism overflow my brain but seeing you just say “wrong” to technically correct statements that answer the question presented here is just so fucking annoying. Ooooo you got so many upbears from fellow Hexbears who dont want to think but just dunk. Getting very frusterated with this community right now.

How is what they said wrong lmao. They literally acknowledge that doing individual good things doesn’t justify the wealth disparity. Every word of what they said is 100% accurate. The worst humans do individually good things sometimes and the title of the thread is NOT about the net good or bad the person did. I don’t think you read the title of the thread. I think you’re just dunk/upbear thirsty. I hate this element of hexbear sometimes.

As a wrestling fan, what giddy described is pretty much true. For a billionaire, Tony is “nice” (too nice, because his niceness has lead to a toxic backstage environment, though he did finally fire CM Punk so thats nice). Like sure it doesn’t outweight the exploitation inherent in being a billionaire, but Tony is indeed a “nice guy” and does go out of his way to do nice things for his employees. Also gives them health insurance in an industry where thats not the standard and such.

And the question was “a billionaire who done anything good” not “a billionaire who’s overally contribution to the world is good”. Giddy answered the question correctly. Sorry to autism you with pedantry but like, I have to insist on some technically accurateness here.

Like honestly, did you even know who Tony was before this post or did you just respond wrong because you were going to do that to anyone who said any billionaire did something good? Are you actually knowledgeable about this subject?

I’m not saying he doesnt get the wall in a revolution or anything. But the post asked “Did anything good”, and he did. he did good things for his employees.

Why is the good political news in the United States almost always coming out of Minnesota?

the era during communism when somebody just wrote anonymous nonsense and then your kids were not allowed to go to university.

lol

All the same shit that was levied against women during MeToo, SpeakingOut, and really any time a woman calls out a man in power, but somehow its not against women in general just this one right?

Believe it or not, making people publicly aware that a creator is shit is a GOOD thing. Now I know to avoid LTT. I’m happy she did it.

She is trying to achieve justice for her mistreatment

Sorry your parasocial fave is getting criticized!

She sounds like any other woman who’s made posts criticizing toxic working environments or sexual harassments though?

What does “Mental” mean then?

DAE women who call out powerful men are mentally ill??

My main thing is the “own the libs” type narrative because I considered myself a liberal. I didn’t want to feel attacked while trying to expand my view. But reading through these I think that’s because Ive always defined myself as a “liberal” but I think I just conflated that word with “left”

A lot of people do this, I used to do this. Its basically the linguistic norm in America. Back when I was an Obama liberal, it was because I thought he supported my social democratic values (Berniecrat, basically) that I held at the time because he was good at pretending he did. And I definitely thought I was “the left” then. I’ve moved left from there since then. But I do absolutely identify with your position and why people saying “dunk on libs” might be offputting to someone who has always thought that liberal meant left. But yeah, by Liberal we mean the original definition of the term, “person who supports capitalism”.

Also, can you explain pbb to me because people were talking about the nuance of it but it just looks like some shitty pig balls to me.

Eehhhhhhh I’m going to disagree that there’s much nuance to this but I dont totally know the history of the emote lol. Maybe someone else does. I think its just something people use to respond to outright fascist opinions (which sometimes, there is an unfortunate crossover between the opinions of a centrist liberal and a fascist, which is where the saying "scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds) comes from. But there’s literally a post in our instance right now calling for people to chill a bit on using it and use it only when someone REALLY deserves it.

Also, thank you for keeping an open mind and being willing to learn new things.

OK I went to the front page of hexbear > local and there’s only one thread that says “dunking on libs” and its someone being BORED of that and wanting to just chill. There’s a couple posts in our dunk tank using posts made in other instances as material which I dont think you should have a problem with because it focuses our energy THERE instead. And those were there before federation. The dunk tank is just for anywhere we find opinions we find laughable.

Honestly, the rest is stuff that I’d hope you’d be on board with as a thread, like being mad a black Chik-Fil-A worker was sent home for dying her hair blonde.

I won’t deny that my comrades enjoy “dunking” though. But like, what you said in your original post isn’t that. Its not us having a stated goal of wrecking your site or whatever. Its not a vast conspiracy. You said there was a stated goal and that just doesn’t exist. Is paranoia.

The stated goal please.

I mean yeah thats what they’ve been doing in the global south.

Hey, yaknow what, I think we’re going a little hard on it too actually. Not necessarily with volume of posts. I think anyone can post as much as they want, there just happen to be a lot of us, we’re opinionated, and we were just let out of our cage, and some topics that we happen to have strong opinions on happened to be posted just in time for that, AND then someone posts something like this where they literally ask who we are and what we are doing. I think at the very least you can agree we have a right to respond to this right?

But with some of the aggression and things like pig poop balls. Yeah, I think we’ve probably gone a bit hard on it and I try to engage with a little more good faith.

But I’m still wondering where we stated this “Goal” you said we stated.
