I probably shouldn't be making this post. I hate getting involved struggle session highschool drama shit and I won't even point to specific evidence because frankly this shit depresses me. But here goes:

This might be a "wtf are you ranting about, Owl?" moment but there are some serious reactionary vibes in this place sometimes. Maybe it's a holdover from the dirtbag leftist era, I don't know, but it's gross. I see it trying to worm its way in here and it's a bad sign

If you ever catch yourself using the kind of shitty othering and ableism you'd see on stupidpol or a 2016 cringe compilation, go do some self crit or fuck right off

Someone direct linked to a nazi's youtube video very recently and I raised the issue and they just said "I think it has value" like we're studying the enemy's tactics as some sort of organised resistance movement.

Like, okay go enjoy that value but maybe don't turn hexbear into a space to recruit for the right wing. It's okay to just admit you're wrong sometimes.
