Hexbear seems harmless to me since it’s a roleplaying instance where edgy teens pretend to be ‘revolutionaries’.
I’ve encountered a lot of comments made by their users, and the things they say are just so over the top that I would expect to see them in a parody of communism. I can’t take them seriously.
Sexism and body shaming 👍
Maybe they're being downvoted because they're uninteresting comments that add nothing to the discussion?
That happened. 🙄
Solving a crime and protecting someone from being robbed are not the same thing.
I'm aware of what civil forfeiture is.
I read the techdirt article you linked, but it doesn't state how many people were affected, what percentage of people the police interacted with had money or items taken from them, or any data that supports your claim that police are "much more likely to beat you and take it". Moreover, the article did not mention any of the victims being physically beaten by the police before being robbed.
To be clear, I do not support civil forfeiture or the police stealing from anyone. I am just not convinced that a person is significantly more likely to be beaten and robbed by the police.
Much more likely? What country are you talking about? Assuming we are talking about the United States, this is just not true.
The police are not that cartoonishly evil like most posters here seem to think they are.
Amen. Fuck Tesla owners for doing something decent for the environment.
