I had to block [Hexbear]. I am very sympathetic and generally agreeable to many communist ideals but their brigading and style of that community is annoying.

That was actually the person who got reported on my blahaj comm so I was vibechecking them and that's how I found this thread (I also found transphobia in their comment history while doing it so they got hit with the ban-hammer )

Scratch a white moderate

This is literally the "I left the left because they were mean to me on the Internet" line grifters on the Internet say

"There's a sucker born every minute"

From education to business, lying and scamming is seen as fair play by a huge majority of American people. And things like their credit score system don't help things, when getting ahead can literally be the difference between life and death.

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 47 points 7 months ago

It's not white collar crime unless it comes from the tech ceo region of financial crime otherwise it's sparkling scamming.

"greed is good"

[-] xor@infosec.pub 74 points 7 months ago

i've seen this tactic before... "no im not racist, it's the culture of that entire race* that im against"

*not that race has any scientific basis and is a social construct...

[-] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 25 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

Someone on here said a few days ago that "They have a bad culture" remains one of the last acceptable avenues of racism in polite society, and I've been thinking about that a lot.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 71 points 7 months ago

You claim that China isn't full of cheaters, and yet look at this permutation of Chinese characters, you fucking idiot.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 33 points 7 months ago

There's an English phrase, "All is fair in love and war" which means SA, torture, looting, executing non combatants are encouraged by westerners so long as you're technically at war.

[-] zifnab25@hexbear.net 26 points 7 months ago

Also, totally okay to cheat on your spouse

[-] Anxious_Anarchist@hexbear.net 70 points 7 months ago

Ever since I started working in social work, I've completely stopped giving a shit about cheating. A good amount of the time I'm helping people cheat various systems to get what they need cause social assistance is so fucked they have to cheat it.

[-] Des@hexbear.net 41 points 7 months ago
[-] ElChapoDeChapo@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

Exactly, if the system didn't suck then cheating wouldn't be necessary

[-] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 69 points 7 months ago

Is it racist to say things that are fucking true?

Ah yes, the justification given by every racist since the dawn of time

[-] Rom@hexbear.net 59 points 7 months ago

It has to do with their culture. Chinese culture is very cutthroat and survival of the fittest. It makes people have the mindset of doing anything they can to win or be successful, even if it means cheating. It’s not just video games. They have a huge problem with it in their education system, as well.

Love it when they try to criticize communism and end up just describing capitalism.

[-] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 61 points 7 months ago

if you ask a capitalist and a communist to criticize each other they'll both criticize capitalism

[-] Tommasi@hexbear.net 53 points 7 months ago

They're actually doing the west taiwan bit? I thought that was just something people here said as a parody

[-] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 38 points 7 months ago

Everything we make fun of either exists or comes into being because of our connection to the Lathe of Heaven

[-] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 26 points 7 months ago

I used to see it all the time on leddit before I migrated to lemmygrad after the genzedong quarantine.

[-] ExotiqueMatter@lemmygrad.ml 25 points 7 months ago

Love how fucking powerless that "dunk" is, since Taiwan don't and never will have the power to claim the mainland no matter what the US has to say about is. "They think that by changing the name of a thing, they are changing the thing itself" as the quote goes.

That is very much a liberal 'joke'

[-] sooper_dooper_roofer@hexbear.net 53 points 7 months ago

literally only exists because some Chinese guy invented the plow 1500 years ago (while brits were living in actual shitholes)

lol

(btw I mean actual in-the-groud holes full of shit, the Romans even documented it)

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

Please tell me this is not a joke.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago

Romans documented some eastern Anglo tribes chilling in bogs on hot days. Literally wallowing in peat, dead plant matter and mud. It's why they built so many bathhouses.

[-] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 16 points 7 months ago

That's hilarious.

I've seen the wojack comics of it but never knew there was truth to it.

[-] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

They either accidentally die in said bogs or also use said bogs for burials, the amount of preserved bodies that show up

[-] RedCat@lemmygrad.ml 15 points 7 months ago

But the Romans are not know to be particularly truthful in their reporting either. They were pretty racist. But it's racism against Anglos so it should be ok I think.

Donald Trump literally said he cheats on his taxes on live TV and everyone in America shrugged their soldiers and went "Same"

[-] CTHlurker@hexbear.net 12 points 7 months ago

He did say slightly more than that. He said that if Hillary wanted him to pay taxes, she should change the tax-code, but that she wouldn't because her donors and friends and party-members all enjoyed the same tax breaks and loopholes that he did.

[-] GarfGirl@hexbear.net 43 points 7 months ago

Was doing moderation stuff for the blahaj zone comm I mod and checking through someone's comment history for a vibecheck because they'd had one of their comments reported but it was unclear whether they were just being a dick or should actually be banned and then I found this lol

Literally every university student from the US and Europe was cheating online exams during COVID lockdows ...

[-] mathemachristian@lemm.ee 25 points 7 months ago

I wasn't 🙂 I should have though 🙃

[-] jackmarxist@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

This. My GPA was bad only because I didn't cheat.

The Fascist instance we defederated from for being fascist is being fascist, who would've guessed

This dude thinks western people don't cheat and scam? Give me a min, I'mma get this dip shit to give me his credit card.

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 14 points 7 months ago

Look, in Da West^tm^ only our wealthiest and most powerful people lie scam and cheat, which is better for reasons.

[-] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago

Liberals think the social credit system is a real thing. They're the most propagandized people on earth

[-] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 13 points 7 months ago

It's like, homie, have you ever heard of a criminal background check? How about a credit score?

[-] SnAgCu@hexbear.net 29 points 7 months ago

hm, i wonder if the world's largest population of online gamers might have a proportionally larger number of cheaters.

[-] CliffordBigRedDog@hexbear.net 25 points 7 months ago

"If you can cheat, cheat"

“能骗就偏”

从教育到商业,欺骗被绝大多数人视为公平竞争。像他们愚蠢的信用评分系统这样的事情并没有帮助,因为成功与否实际上可能是生与死的区别。

[-] cosecantphi@hexbear.net 19 points 7 months ago

"If you can pee pee, then poo poo"

Smh Anglo culture encourages pee pee poo poo

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
