More of the libs have taken off their masks, so there are simply less of them...

What if i compared the worst times in socialist countries with the best times in capitalist ones? That would probably make you cry

"The Soviets were just as bad as the Nazis, who weren't actually that bad."

my favorite thing about us interacting with liberals here is how they can't handle us talking normally. Just our normal communication style, casual chatting, is interpreted by them as wildly offensive and rude. And that's no matter what we're saying or how good faith we're communicating. It felt like even when I was trying to talk normally to libs here or federated I'd have to water down everything I said, or I'd get asked to denounce Stalin or the DPRK no matter what the topic was.

Or maybe that's just their defense mechanism? Like a squid spraying ink. When they don't have anything concrete to say they instantly complain about manners?

I'm new here and I couldn't even tell there were problems with how you guys communicate.

Hexbear gets reaaaally hostile when it's obvious that a person is acting in bad faith and not at all worth talking to. The crowd does not waste its time trying to engage bad faith actors and instead just switches over to hostility, pigpoopballs or fart noises.

If someone seems in good faith or willing to actually learn then it's pretty reasonable.

Usually the bad experiences people bring up are ones they instigate.

9/10 boils down to someone trying to be a debate pervert like ben Shapiro or trying to troll everyone.

Like no shit it's a bad experience when you come in hostile from the start.

You do realize the only citation there is radio free Asia right?

Oh so you didn't accept sources you don't agree with? Not very dialectical of you

TRUE CENTRISM HAS NEVER BEEN IMPLEMENTED!

EVERYTHING HAS ALWAYS BEEN OFF CENTER ON THE POLITICAL COMPASS!

Once we have true centrism, both those who want healthcare ands housing for all, and those who want extermination of lesser skull shapes will be equally unhappy as they will be getting a fraction of what they want.

THAT IS WHEN TRUE CENTRISM WILL BE REACHED AND HISTORY WILL TRULY END.

Consider human nature. It's innately programmed in our brains to hoard wealth

Question for tankies: when you're picking out your ideology, why don't you simply choose the lib-left part of the political compass instead of auth-left?

[–] axont@hexbear.net 50 points 1 week ago

haven't you tankies learned that the auth-left is a trick? It's a bunch of fascists tricking you into thinking it's communism, but then they make a government that just does state capitalism, which is worse than normal capitalism. You're being fooled into believing you're far left, but actually, you're just the moderate wing of fascism.

Why can't you be more like social democrats, like Sweden or Denmark? Those ideologies aren't tricks by the capitalist elites to make you think you're further left than you actually are. Social democrats are the true far left, not fascists like you tankies. The social democrats are legitimate and that's why no social democratic country operates on imperialism.

The gap in understanding was really something to behold, like being Dracula and every once in a while some villager shows up with a wooden crucifix and some prayed-over creek water, thinking they're gonna be the one to banish the monster.

Actually you tankies are more like voldemort and I'm the legendary guy with the scar who's here to maintain the status quo
