Regarding people misunderstanding Hexbear, I'd argue its deliberate. Not that they are aware, even, but that they choose to never interpret anything we say charitably, because doing so results in uncomfortable realizations. I highly recommend everyone read Masses, Elites, and Rebels: The Theory of "Brainwashing" as we are all guilty of this, to greater or lesser degrees.
It's the same for hasan piker where there is such a constant smear campaign he's always in a negative light until people actually listen or see his actions.
Note he has negatives but not enough to warrant how the right and libs think of him. See collar gate or any other controversy from lsf or destiny
Good, practical example!
Have you ever gotten people in the wider fedverse to read some of these redsails articles? I would honestly say a lot of them are better for combating liberalism than most actual theory (which generally isn't too focused on expunging liberal brainworms)
I started reading them from other instances before I joined hexbear, so I'm one person at least
Yep, but they have to people that want to read them, not just people permanently hostile. Theory dumping doesn't work, you can take a horse to water but can't make them drink.
I like hexbear and glad you have such a great community, but I still don’t understand hexbear most of the time.
That's fair!
