I gave hexbear to a kind of whacky old lady from the allotment who is extremely online due to being unemployed, she got caught up in all that qanon shit a while back you know the type, lurking hexbear has clearly been slowly turning her into a communist because her takes are getting better and better.

Damn, that's really cool, I'm actually in a similar situation. Found out some months back that my landlord uses Hexbear when I saw him pull up the site on his phone while I was requesting that he fix the broken heater and leaky roof in my apartment. I brought it up and instantly he seemed just as happy as I was to have randomly come across a Hexbear comrade in the wild. What are the odds, right? Anyway, turns out he's an ML! Now we hang out, watch Star Trek, and shoot the shit about theory over weed and beer on the weekends.
A couple weeks ago I was talking to my landlord about how hard it is to find leftist friends, and he got the idea to introduce me to a buddy of his, the one who actually introduced him to Hexbear in the first place. Turns out he's the police officer who usually handles the evictions here. I'd seen him around, but I had no idea he was actually cool. Dude's an anarchist and heavily involved with his union, really based. We invited him to get baked and hang out with us and we really hit it off. It's nice having an anarchist perspective for our theory talk, really fitting given we all use the same left unity website. Not gonna lie, it does get heated at times, and I'm still a bit apprehensive about him showing up to these hangouts in uniform with his service weapon, but I think that's just me being antsy.
Hope you can get something similar going with your boss. Hexbear is great and all, but there's no substitute to having good comrades to hang out with offline.
ALL TIMER
Bestofhexbear material
Going wild think king about a landlord who does so many evictions that they have an officer with an assignment to that landlord specifically
Incredible post 
Tagline! Tagline!
this is sending me to orbit, lmfao
Melina tier bit
I want this bit written on my tombstone
Hey, I got you Hexbear Gold for this post! 
Say sike
This is the cop
First time ive seen an image like this and thought "Please DONT be real"
There's a video of someone pulling up alongside the cop car so I'm pretty sure it is.
say sike. please. this CAN'T be real.
This is actually something interesting to see - cop, landlord, banker, outright bourgeois - individuals might be leftists, as rare as that is, but they're still stuck acting according to the rules of capital and the bourgeois state.
Lord Jesus have mercy
Lord Jesus has abandoned us, for he is also terrified of what he has wrought.

Strange. It's as if people don't believe a cop could be a socialist revolutionary.
I almost thought you were serious until you got to the anarchist cop. I genuinely just assumed your landlord had no self awareness

ok maybe i'm a pessimist but this sounds like a warren voter to me
I can't remember where it was, but I was listening to an interview with a left-wing guy who worked for some sort of stock buying/trading company. He said his strategy was to just assume all the hype was bullshit and things were only going to get worse. Apparently he performed so much better than everyone else that his boss just assumed he was doing illegal insider-trading stuff.
Warren hexbear poster? That seems less likely than a finance firm socialist somehow lol
I went to a Chapo live show once and saw a whole bunch of Beto bumper stickers that I don't think were ironic
Eh, you'd be surprised. I know a few leftists working in fintech, it pays damn good and the marginal evil-utility of arbitrage or something is pretty low compared to the kind of shit they'd be enabling at FAANG.
It doesn't surprise me, actually. I think people working in finance would know better than anyone else just how bullshit the whole system is.
I was a Ron Paul loving, fed-obsessed teenager. Reading a ton about economics and finance is what got me here, plus the post-Trump vibe check
he said Sanders
i'll allow it
It'll have to do
Ah shit, we're all PMC, aren't we? Or are we also class traitors against the bourgeoisie as well?
Is this site a recuperation center? Maybe, or maybe not... I'll still post...
im an ashamed sell out working for an internet marketing company
the upside is the company is pretty well crashing and burning and i've only been here for 4 days
Idk why you depression-dumped on me but thanks bestie, I got a response... 
the better news is i quit after only 5 days! good times ahead!
If we had a drink in real life, I would say chaim!
It's weird how many lefties there are in finance. I once had a discussion with a quant on how economic planning would probably work and should be tried, and I once added someone on discord and found they were in the Hasanabi discord. I guess it makes sense when your job is to see past the bs.
proof that Marxists are better economists than liberals
Bruh I’m posting with finance bros wtf?
