Neoliberals have no comradery and see each other as competition. They look for opportunities to tear each other down instead of supporting each other, thus making their community weaker as a whole.

Whereas the communists support one another and seek to help build their community as a whole, thus leading to a stronger, more supportive community.

"The animal species, in which individual struggle has been reduced to its narrowest limits, and the practice of mutual aid has attained the greatest development, are invariably the most numerous, the most prosperous, and the most open to further progress."- Peter Kropotkin

TLDR- Sucks that you don't have our level of solidarity, libs.

Yeah, this is probably one of the best online communities I've ever participated in

We are united in spirit and purpose, comrade. We are one well-oiled shitposting machine. For every poster that falls, ten posters will take their place.

[-] Flinch@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

They say that Hexbear only has enough keyboards for half of its posters, so they send people into threads in pairs, and when the first poster is banned, the second picks up his keyboard and continues posting bugs-stalin

100%.

When I'm forced to spend any amount of social time with liberals, especially the more reptilian ones you encounter in academia and managers, especially if they have an explicitly perverted ideology of neoliberalism, and even when they are suposedly best friends, I recognize after not much time that they actually don't like eachother. They hate eachother. They are jealous, petty and envious. They are all insecure. Their understanding of generosity and sympathy is absolutely reducible to a market relation of exchange for profit in purely inhuman sense, and not even in a progressive social sense of reciprocity. They often dontunderstand that friendship can be good in and of itself, perhaps because they are so alienated and toxic that they've forgotten what actual friendship is, and that love is not reducible to material or economic dependence (fantastic scene which shows this in season 3 of Succession, in Italy between Tom and Greg).

I've had many ex-liberal friends become communists just because they were so alienated by their liberal friends that they started hanging out more with communists and were like "oh damn these people actually like eachother and don't try to demean eachother".

Almost all the communists I know who come to hate eachother do so cos of theoretical and practical political beefs.

a coworker explained to me that he was suing his sister in court because he loaned her money for rent and she hadn't paid him back. I took a full 30 seconds to respond because I couldn't fathom treating anyone, leave alone family, so transactionally. it's not like he needed the money - he was just willing to trash his sister's life because he felt entitled to.

[-] potopato@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

I migrated from Lemmy.world just so I can upvote communists bullying liberals lmao

[-] Commiejones@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

this is praxis.

I'm thinking about making a alternate on another instance so I can go downvote libs.

[-] potopato@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Are downvotes disabled at Hexbear?

[-] Sickos@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

No, they're just bigger and don't get counted downbear

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

yep, we didn't like drive by downvotes from lurkers. everyone must post.

Lemmy is much more fun since Hexbear joined, leaving lemmy.world is the best decision I made since I came to the fediverse.

[-] Awoo@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Libs don't know what having fun means. Everything is constantly assumed to be totally serious at all times in their spaces and they don't know how to like... Chill the fuck out? Half the posts people are making are from the toilet on a work break. It's just not that serious.

If they chilled out and enjoyed themselves a bit more the whole thing would be 100x better. This is the primary difference between us. We're trying to have fun.

[-] Scew@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Investigated here after the pre-last resort defederation from .world and was confused why people having fun was being construed as "The rhetoric and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “dismantle western propaganda” and "demolish organizations such as NATO” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "respecting the rules of the community instance in which they are posting/commenting.”"

It's like they tried to sound smart and lost me at the 'I came here and looked around for 5 seconds and realized it's not what they were saying it was."

It's because I upvote anyone with pronouns in their username on Lemmy shrug-outta-hecks

[-] ZapataCadabra@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago

It wasn't fun at the time, but I'm glad we had the pronouns struggle session long before federation.

[-] dinklesplein@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

it shouldnt have been a struggle session at all lol

Many years ago, before I had even discovered /r/chapotraphouse, I used to post on /r/geopolitics. Of course as you can imagine the self-important nerds there would accuse people left and right of being Chinese/Russian bots. I once asked why the fuck the MSS or FSB or whatever would spend their time shitposting on a sub with like a thousand users and they claimed that "real international relations experts post here regularly" and then I got banned.

Worth it.

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

at least when we were on reddit it made at least a little sense, since you were connected to a larger site

the ironic thing was that user survey on reddit that found the most active city on reddit was some US Airforce base lol

[-] StalinForTime@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Plot-twist: it's actually the the North Korean Cyberintelligence division who are making use of Juche divination to see the future and the revolutionary importance of Hexbear.

any idea on how i claim my payment from the see see pee? I was promised a substantial payment, however, I have been unable to locate my local secret police station. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

[-] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

They wouldn't be the secret police if you could find them, now would they?

If we're only averaging ~10 up votes then more people need to sort active/all and join the protracted people's war.

[-] wesker@lemmy.sdf.org 2 points 1 year ago

They're conditioned to and glorify negativity, is what it is. I get downvoted for the most innocuous shit when I post or comment in self-proclaimed "liberal" instances.

I've been commenting frequently on y'alls posts since you federated. I've not received a single downvote here. Not one.

They find even-keeledness and agreeability sinister. That says a lot.

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
