I'd hope their conviction isn't real, because wishcasting mass death like this (1) is a purely aesthetic choice that does nothing but look unhinged and (2) is far in excess of even the most punitive measures suggested after WWII.
"We're going to kill every one of you if we win" makes winning harder, not easier.
This is hexbears stated position on white people and straight people, not sure why there's more of a carve out for people who willingly signed up to murder people for Haliburton.
And I'm not trying to play victim for white or straight people, ùjust like there's a bunch of former troops who don't say anything because they know it's not directed at them because they're already here, always just thought it was strange that the site is more defensivee of people who actively made a choice than people who didn't have a say in their situation.
This place doesn't have stated positions, and genocide sure isn't one of them, unless we've gone off the deep end of people taking edgy jokes seriously.
I mean the "I am not joking or being hyperbolic, I literally will never trust white people even if they're active in progressive orgs and I unironically passionately hate straight people" posts are deffinitly edgy but they're going out of their way to be pretty clear they aren't joking.
No one on this site sincerely hates all white people or all straight people, I guarantee their real feelings are more nuanced than that. People make those blunt statements out of frustration and exhaustion, and hexbear should be a safe place to vent like that.
