I would be real disappointed if that was true
Also, why are pronouns bad when we do it?
What does his edit mean? Does he want us to bully LGBT people because we're supposed to be right wing baddies in his mind?

It's the dunk tank.
This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.
Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.
Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.
Rule 3: No sectarianism.
Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome
Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)
Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.
Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.
Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml
Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Pronouns in usernames is WHY I decided to stay on hexbear instead of jumping from instance to instance with the great reddit exodus of '23.
I'm still learning to interact with y'all, but I appreciate how tight knit the community is and how y'all interact with each other.
On that though, I genuinely can't see how people'd think this is a right wing instance pretending to be left wing, it's like they haven't even looked at the instance beyond a cursory glance
For a fun game go to blahaj.zone and search locally for any mention of 
"In fact, we carried, before we had a pride flag, we carried the North Vietnamese flag as our pride flag. Now you could hear that and think “well that’s interesting”, but it wasn’t just an abstract thing.
(And by the way, I know there’s some people who have to leave at, uh, for a nursing class here; nobody’s gonna look at you funny when you go. I know people are starting to get nervous about—don’t worry, you go with our grace.)
So, the Gay Liberation Front and the Third World Liberation Front named themselves in solidarity with the North Vietnamese people at a time when that was considered treason. That’s like now, coming out and defending the resistance of the Iraqi people, the Palestinian people, the North Korean people, the Iranian people, the Cuban people. We face getting beaten up on the streets for marching with the Vietnamese flag but we knew that if we didn’t defend the Vietnamese people we were gonna weaken, first of all the people who deserved our support because we were the aircraft carrier in which the war was being launched in all our names. We would lose the solidarity with the Vietnamese people and we would lose our own political souls and movement as well if we didn’t take a position in support.
We were supporters on the front lines of the women’s liberation movement even when there were some who didn’t want us to be there—who said ooh, if you could just get out of the way, because you know, we’re strong women and they’re calling us lesbians [be]cause you’re around. We’re like, excuse me, we’re withstanding the lesbian invading—you better get used to that. As strong women you better get used to saying “and yes, many of us are!” Because otherwise, you’ll just back yourself right off a cliff. And I would ask you, do we have an equal rights amendment today? It was not a winning strategy.
We were involved in all these struggles, but not because we said it’s gonna be a tit-for-tat: “I’ll do this if you’ll do that. I’ll come to your demo Wednesday if you come to mine Thursday.” We did it because we knew it was a fight we had to join and be a part of. And it strengthened all—"
I mean, you are. If it looks like a dog and barks like a dog...
Actual communists would be trying to get Democrats on their side; they need them if they're going to stand chance at holding office or gaining seats. What you guys are doing is driving away the people you need the most. Your behavior makes no sense for a communist. I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers. That alone tells me everything I need to know about this place.
The point I'm trying to make is that you're not fooling anyone, MAGAts.
Edit: How do I disable inbox replies? I really don't care to read what any of you idiots have to day. I don't listen to terrorists. Don't you guys have a courthouse to protest in front of? Go give your previous "god emperor" your attention instead and leave me alone.
I kinda appreciate the bravery to post that here, but sadly I can't actually follow your path (to certain victory and to a new world), because I am not american, and so I can't get these Democrats (that are necessary to win) on my side.

We definitely do, but we're mostly young and lgbt and from western countries, so hating conservative liberals and fash is second nature, and moderate libs like pretending they're the furthest left possible, so we can't help but remind them that no, they're still very right wing
This is a bit, right? There's no way you ACTUALLY believe this, right? RIGHT?

You do understand that some people live in countries that are not the USA, right?
I'm a Maoist now, Jack!
Democrats should be the ones trying to get communists on their side you absolute dipshit that's literally how political bargaining works. You're just a mad lib. Cope and seethe more
