It's understand the concern. This is just how I deal with this stuff myself. I can absorb a lot off abusive behaviour but I have to blow off some steam somehow, and this is my way.
Unlike what hexbears might say, I'm not trying to goad them. Notice that I never went out of my way to invite their dogpiles.
My sweet little pain piggy, you keep letting out clarion calls that summons all the silly bears out of every nook and cranny of the lemmynet
Cmon Y'all are adults (at least, I hope)
If you behave like a smart alek kid, expect to be scolded like one.
I'll always enjoy seeing smuglords being patronizing in public.
Should stop staring at your mirror in public then, you might step in an open manhole like a loony toons character
Shut up
You literally put the hexbear logo in the whiny little meme you've posted here.
You're not fooling anyone with your reddit-tier bs lmao
I think if I get called redditor once I more I might legit be moved
l o l
We are explicitly a left unity community and Your first (racist) meme was explicitly against left unity and you literally included our logo in this one. If that isn’t goading us what would be in your eyes?
Yeah idk you defs don't want spaces dominated by the norms of whoever is the most annoying. I've wasted far too much time at meetings with certain pot stirrers interjecting with their own little axe at every chance.
I'm just very weary of fostering tribalism and shit slinging in a time when the left is roundly loosing in the majority of the most powerful countries.
Eh the death of the left has been greatly exaggerated. Sure parliamentary left is "losing" but parliamentary left was worse than useless anyway. Spare no tears for that. Struggle breeds radicalization and if you are looking you will see that the embers are already flaming.
Anyway I'm not trying to do tribalism. I could have easily followed the trend and defederated if that was my goal. I actually like the chance to be criticized from the left. I'm not perfect. But I do have some strong convictions as well.
“I actually like the chance to be criticized from the left.“
Is this a joke? Every good faith criticism you have received from the left you act as if it is some dog pile attack and like you didn’t invite this debate with your first extremely divisive (and racist) meme. You kept repeating Ad Nauseum that you “didn’t owe anyone a debate” and telling us we’re “sea lioning”. Guess what dipshit? You know what criticism from the left is going to feel like: A DEBATE!
In what way does that behavior demonstrate that you are in any way open to left criticism? I presume you just conveniently omit anyone who you see as a “Tankie” from “the left” you are ok being criticized by.
You are a terminally reddit brained person who colors themself as an Anarchist because you like the aesthetic. You are happy to punch left and carry water for Imperialism because it gives you some individualistic and smug sense of moral correctness. That feeling is obviously more important to you than understanding AES states on their terms and learning from what they did right and what they did wrong without moralizing like the child that you are.
Your convictions are as strong as apple sauce. These two posts have made it abundantly clear to me that without some fucking humility, self Crit, and willingness to engage with other leftists who disagree with you (re: DEBATE) you are the kind of “leftist” who would sell out a successful left wing movement if there ever was one because they were “too authoritarian”
If Hexbear users are so bad do us a favor and de-federate because this is clearly a waste of everyone’s time and energy.
This is very awesome of you I must say. I was hoping some real friendship from both sides could happen here.
Huh?
What?
I don't see how you see friendships forming
I said "I hope". Of course posting this kind of meme is not helpful. But not defederating lead to more integration between parts what could lead to better understanding and forming alliances.
I see, that makes sense and I agree in a vacuum. I am pessimistic in this case because the dude in charge of your instance has what may as well be a religious opposition to MLs, but I suppose that's more your business to work on and mine is to bonk the sectarian MLs.
You kicked the extremist groupthink hornet's nest by mentioning them. Whenever I give one of them shit, 10 more show up out of the woodwork.
