In a recent appearance on Russia's state-run television, Russian political scientist Sergey Mikheyev suggested that the country's "empire" should grow to encompass three American states.

"I want the Russian empire with Alaska, Hawaii, California, Finland, and Poland," he said, as translated by Gerashchenko for the clip he shared. "Although Poland and Finland are so stinky, I'm not sure, to be honest. We'll clean them."

Hexbear users are real quiet when posts like this come around.

Be careful, they might show up and start posting gifts and emojis, thus negating everything you say, or any evidence of wrongdoing you may present!

Its totally all media lies and checks notes you being a racist cishet white male, regardless if you are any of those, and therefore your entire worldview is irrelevant and wrong. Oh and if you're from AmEriKa (the K is important to them, it makes them feel smugly superior) then anything you say is automatically wrong and you're an imperialist pig who deserves to die. Even if you actively protest against things. Because you aren't violently rioting.Which they TOTALLY would be doing... Not that their parents would let them out past sunset since teenagers have a curfew.

And even if you agree with them, go kill yourself because you're probably older than they are and old people killed the world so you are also at fault despite the fact that the modern problems of the world are millenia in the making, centuries of intentional planning, and decades of underhanded subversion by people who died long ago or are old enough to remember the moon landing.

Or just mute them like I do and never have to read another response as they scream pointlessly into the void since lemmy doesn't hide my posts from them, just theirs from me. Every so often someone will tell me what's being said but honestly the only thing I care to do when they show up is either pretend they don't exist or make fun of their insane bullshit.

Dear god, imagine if they called me a Chud and posted pig shit resting on balls. I would be completely devastated, might never recover.

They might even post the glasses emoji face!

Your children's children will have to walk around knowing they, by extension, have been utterly defeated by someone superior to them!

Isn't even just hexbear these days. The Genocide Joe crowd posts nonstop anti-Israel, anti-Biden articles, but as soon as a Republican says something like "finish the job" they're radio silent.

I would not know, they are all on mutelists .. lovely peace and quiet.

[-] Meh@lemy.lol 5 points 8 months ago

I should start doing that. Been mostly lurking after reddit changes. But those people are as bad as some of the reason why it felt like time to leave.

[-] Badeendje@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago

Yeah I would advise throwing the 3 tanky instances on your Blocklist (Hexbear, Lemmygrad, lemmy.ml) and find alternative communities if you subbed to any on these instances (mostly .ml communities).

Then you can block maybe the 10 users you start to recognize for their extremist or depressing views. And you're golden.

I personally used my client to also mute the Gaza crisis with a small list because that is also just slapfests and verbal diarrhea.

It helps a lot

I would advise not. When you block someone, you cede the floor to them.

[-] blackn1ght@feddit.uk 4 points 8 months ago

I don't think they can see this post with it being on lemmy.world.

[-] TangledHyphae@lemmy.world 2 points 8 months ago

It does seem comforting knowing that the hexbear people are such a tiny fringe minority that they're likely to have very little impact unless they are or become domestic terrorists in any significant number (I could see a few of them suicide-bombing in major cities, coordinated, but they'll Darwin themselves out of existence eventually without leaving any real impact on this earth.)

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
