Cool it only took them 4 years

The state murdering Fred Hampton.

The Obama presidency and how all flavors of western media acted like it was taking the US down a radical leftist path.

I honestly thought that version of the store front was already closed.

That’s just a pokemon

You claim to know nothing about the instance you’re actually on while passing judgement about hexbear, an instance you’re not even on.

If that was true then why are you here talking shit

Yeah that would be great, unfortunately the world we live in doesn’t work like that. Asking for cooperation when the other side is perfectly fine using violence and manipulation then you are effectively just advocating for subservience to the bourgeoisie.

According to who? People defending the narrative that they are contradicting? Yeah man. What a totally unbiased and reliable source for that information.

I didn’t say everything is authoritarian, I specifically stated your politics as being authoritarian.

Let’s not pretend that your politics aren’t inherently authoritarian as well.

Either you support capitalism (or worse), which is grossly authoritarian as it inflicts massive violence not only via warfare but through mass starvation and deprivation, or you support socialism, in which case you have two options:

1. The violent overthrow of the current system (spoiler alert: that’s a very authoritarian thing to do!)

2. The gradual reform of the current system, meaning maintaining the status quo for an exceptionally long time as we ever so slowly creep our way to a more just economic system while countless people starve, go homeless, die without healthcare, end up in yet-another war and so on (which is a very authoritarian proposition, just throwing away the lives of the poor in your own country-not to mention those in the developing world-just so you can have a neat and tidy reformist approach that doesn’t rock the boat.)

Go back to

A ton of hexbear users are from the US, and still live there.

As a rule the US government does not mislead its own citizens the way Russia and China do.

USians are literally the most propagandized pop on the planet.

USians are the only dipshits who think their state will just do the right thing with zero pressure.

Imagine thinking the people living in a system where bribery and corruption have literally been legalized and (somehow) still believe is the least corrupt system on earth, have not been propagandized into a pulp of absolute impotence and servility.

Lemmy was built by communists and the audacity of these liberals to come here and demand shelter from exposure to communists is really something

Crazy to think that was over 3 years ago now.

Supporting China is normal and good. Sorry there aren’t any mods here to make it seem like your bazinga brain views are popular.

This post appeared on my feed. That’s the only reason I’m here. Get used to not being popular. This isn’t Reddit. No one is going to protect you from not encountering leftists.

We’ve been around for literally 3 years bro. You’re the new kid here.

Also lemmy was literally partially created by our users. You’re the one coming into our space.
