    Man hexbear is pissed and just can’t help but defend their lust for authoritarians. Then ask for left unity when we won’t want to be with people who uncritically support China and North Korea.

    Maybe someday hexbear will learn better but today isn’t that day.

      Feel free to ignore if you’re organizing in South Korea or Vietnam, but how do the leftists around you “supporting” the DPRK or China impact their actions at all? Do they want their governments to start giving military aid to those countries and that’s something you disagree with? Do they want to change their country’s diplomatic stance towards those countries and that’s an issue you draw a line in the sand over?

      Edit: just to make my point clear so I don’t have to drag us around in the Socratic method for 5 hours: regardless of whether you “support” China, Cuba, Vietnam, Laos, Venezuela, Burkina Faso, and the DPRK, it makes absolutely 0 difference on what you’re doing locally[1], if you can accept the basic principles of sovereignty then it’s really stupid to get up in arms about there being pro-Xi people in your leftist org when you’d rather some other policies be implemented in China. Dude, you don’t get to decide that for them. It’s simply not our business.


      1. unless you live in a country where relations with those countries are a nuanced issue, such as the ROK with the North and Vietnam with China ↩︎

            Calling into question the functioning of someone’s brain is pretty neuronormative.

            I’m not being that serious though, because I also can’t find any example of someone being ableist to you beyond calling you stupid (it was me, I did that).

            Hexbear has probably the lowest tolerance for ableism of any place I’ve seen on the internet. The raiding parties you see coming into your instance to bash liberals on the internet and correct their disinformation are not really representative of the tone of conversation on the actual instance itself between people who aren’t spoiling for a rumble, not that I would expect ableism even then. The mods of Hexbear are very strict about that kind of thing, so watching clown-to-clown communication between you and your buddy as you just outright lie on the internet about the nature of another online community, in a farcical echo to how your forebears fabricated lies about socialist states, demanded comment.

            Notice how they didn’t explain it but will say they don’t support or tolerate ableism when their users have been banned here for ableism.

            Wanna take bets they don’t ban the users from Hexbear? I’ll give db0 $10 if they do.

              Why did you leave this comment 8 hours ago when 19 hours ago @CascadeOfLight@hexbear.net already explained why it was ableist?

              Also, this is just my opinion, but it seems like everyone here is throwing accusations of ableism performatively. I don’t think Cascade honestly believes that db0 was being ableist towards tankies just for saying that tankies can’t take criticism, he’s just rhetorically paying back the equally cynical accusation of ableism. I don’t believe there’s a single instance of ableism in this whole thread, honestly, just people trying to get one ups on each other with varying levels of evidence to back up their claims, and using appeals to neurodiversity or ableism to protect poorly researched positions.

                “Cynical accusation of ableism” meaning when I explain my ND compulsions and coping mechanisms and got gaslit and told I’m just making it all up because I’m actually just a coward. Yeah Hexbear doesn’t tolerate albeism at aaaall when they cover up for the ableists among them. The self-righteous fucking accusation by more than one hexbear that I’m “using my neurodivergence as an shield” or “weaponising neurodivergence”, like every other fucking neurotypical tells us all our lives, being the cherry on top of this shit cake. Clearly ableism is using the R-word and nothing else. Go on, continue to dig that hole further.

                  I think Professor Owl already did a pretty good job of showing how you’re behaving pretty cynically here. For the record, I’m autistic too, and I also get into arguments pretty compulsively. I think that what you’ve done here shows a tendency to avoid personal accountability, though, because you’re just inflaming conflict then taking shelter behind your ability to problematize the people trying to hold you accountable.

                    We continue fucking injecting our own asusmptions onto me are we?

                    I think that what you’ve done here shows a tendency to avoid personal accountability, though, because you’re just inflaming conflict then taking shelter behind your ability to problematize the people trying to hold you accountable.

                    Motherfucker, I didn’t come into your house to start conflict! I posted in my own comm, in my own instance! Y’all came into my space and made your insecurities my fucking problem by shitting all over the floor en-masse (not brigading doe) and then you have the gall to argue that I’m “behaving cynically” when I’m using coping mechanisms to avoid my autism making me waste 1 whole week wasting my time arguing with terminally online tankies?

                    Been there, done that, wrote the meme, learned from the experience.

                    You have no idea what you’re talking about. You’re like those fucking stans of online personas who go and reply on the target du-jour and then whine “but I only left one reasonable comment, why the bad reaction? Come see the tolerant left.”

                    I don’t give a fuck that you’re autistic. Not only we’re not the same, but you’re not in the same situation. Gaslighting me that my coping mechanism is “just cynicism” or “cowardice” is just defending ableism like the rest of your allies.
