yea those struggle sessions were so dumb, it was basically the user base catching bans from a couple of mods and admins. Funny part is that you could always just post a real pic of isntrael and it wouldn't get deleted.

The last one we had, the ZOG struggle session, was really stupid . Kinda see it as the last remnants of the PEP people either leaving leftist spaces or changing their positions.

No. it was the mods catching massive amounts of flack from the userbase for their tolerance and support of Zionism in general.

ZOG one seems to have settled it because finally the one user/mod who was sort of instigating the whole thing was finally banned. And others either changed or learned to pretend they changed for moderation duties.

But the site also lost some anti Zionists during that whole thing due to the hostility.

I really appreciated LoveYourself's perspectives and it's fucked up that those mods bullied them off the site.

Yeah I know but I'm not a Hexbear user, so I have to copy-paste the Markdown that your comments generate to use those emojis.

Huh, didn't come up on the search for "cool," should probably be added to its tags so it shows up with the others.

Genuine question: What did the Cayman Islands do to get on this shit-list? I am not familiar with their history or politics.

[–] buckykat@hexbear.net 12 points 7 hours ago

They're famously a tax haven for billionaires

be prepared for people to conflate it with antisemitism because of the star of david (the origin for the hexbear struggle session and, knowing nothing about anything, IMO the reason Israel used it on their flag in the first place)

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 15 points 6 hours ago

If you oppose Israel you've already been labeled antisemitic
