My handlers are asking me to tell you not to link/tag the comment or post, to prevent accusations of brigading obviously, but there have been a ton that should be added as new taglines for the site.

The one that prompted this post:

I'm fine with interacting with people of different ideologies and cultures, but I feel like the hexbears mostly just want to harass us "tankies".

Huh? Do you mean "liberals"? Hexbears are the ones liberals and leftcoms call "tankies"

From what I can tell, which so far is decidedly little, everyone is calling everyone tankies.

Is it narcissistic to post my own?

Lib: Basically, every thing wrong with the ccp, every evil, is just western propaganda. They deny the Ughur genocide, tiananmen square, they deny everything and call it western propaganda.

Me: Wow, they really deny that stuff? Do you have any good sources I can throw at them next time I see that?

Lib: Nothing really, they just call it western propoganda. Theres no point.

Me: Maybe some would listen if we showed them strong enough evidence, I mean all that stuff is pretty well documented, right? Aren't there like, pictures or something? At the very least, if we force them to deny strong, reputable sources, it'd make the pitch to defederate stronger.

Lib: It is well documented, they have been shown sources, and they do not care. I really hope they defed from hexbear soon.

Me: I know, I'm just asking you to share them with me so I can use them too next time.

I usually disagree with tankies, but Marjorie Taylor Greene has a point.

We'll just use "tankie" the way most use "man", "woman", or "person".

Examples:

The firetankies put out the fire in the building.

The policetankie arrested that guy for a little weed.

The chairtankie of Lockheed Martin announced record profits.

Communism killed 100 million in Europe alone and 300-400 million in China. Count other parts of the world and the number easily reaches a billion.

This one was a real knee slapper.

[-] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 41 points 11 months ago

When your fascist anti-communist propaganda does not go far enough and you simply have to out do it.

There was a recent thread about Hurricane Hilary and one of the comments was just here-it-comes planet-hillary planet-hillary planet-hillary planet-hillary and I thought it was hilarious.

[-] Azarova@hexbear.net 43 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

what the fuck is that hillary emote hahaha

[-] Tofu_Lewis@hexbear.net 34 points 11 months ago

"She is light itself" and the moon give us light, so Hillary is moon.

[-] Freeanotherday@hexbear.net 63 points 11 months ago

I knew some of them blahaj.zone people could post.

Shame about their staff.

[-] silent_water@hexbear.net 45 points 11 months ago

I think they made an account here just in case we defed party-sicko

[-] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 48 points 11 months ago

Well, I have now, now that we're actually defederating. I'm sure hoping it'll be longer before I have to make an Erika4sis somewhere.

Someone accused us of downvote brigading and brigading Lemmy dot world.

We do not have downvotes, and we have never been federated with Lemmy dot world

[-] SeventyTwoTrillion@hexbear.net 56 points 11 months ago

I also hope it's not narcissistic to post my own

in relation to freedom in America vs freedom in "authoritarian countries":

people get arrested during strikes and protests all the time in America. of course, you would justify it as "actually they were breaking Clause 8 of Section 9A so it was against the law and they shouldn't have done it!" without questioning if that law might possibly have been drawn up specifically to punish those people because the government couldn't do it legally before. no, all laws in America come straight out of the Founding Father's dick as a glorious bukkake for us all to share freely, while in tyrannical states like Russia and China, all laws are to be questioned and/or drawn up by the supreme ruler himself because he was really extra totalitarian that day

never try idealism kids, it turns you into this

[-] 2Password2Remember@hexbear.net 30 points 11 months ago

bruh you're by far the most valuable poster on hexbear, you've earned the right to quote yourself a little, as a treat

someone did a copypasta of the liberal saying where soviet soldiers would pick up guns off of dead bodies cause they had none, but with keyboards and hexbear users

too lazy to find, i was cry laughing

[-] TillieNeuen@hexbear.net 46 points 11 months ago

There's a new site tagline of a response to UlyssesT that made me actually laugh out loud. Probably because I remember the conversation too, and good ol' Ulysses had me just as jesse-wtf as the person who responded to him. Something about Oppenheimer and booba and I don't know what. Just totally impenetrable posting rat-salute

[-] MCU_H8ER2@hexbear.net 33 points 11 months ago

I remember that. They called Karen Oppenheimer 'Booba Waifu' for some reason.

The one site tagline about someone's so drawing them getting hit by a car driven by their fursona is funny.

[-] Pseudoplatanus22@hexbear.net 41 points 11 months ago

Ugh. When I was back on Reddit comments like those would always be downvoted to hell.

I think the other comment has been removed (looks like the dork has been banned), but I laughed uncontrollably at one where the user referenced this and was clearly traumatized by it.

man it would be crazy if a link to that comment managed to land in my inbox, it sounds hilarious and I want to look at their account

edit: damn the link really did manage to popup in my inbox, not sure how that happened...

Today is your lucky day. Since I'm in a good mood, let's see if you'll put your money where your mouth is.

I will reveal my real name, my PhD thesis, with a link to the university linking to my thesis. Here's the bet: if I can prove it (that I have a PhD in particle physics from a prestigious university of top 10), you pay me one whole fucking bitcoin. If not, I'll pay you one bitcoin.

We'll find a betting platform (of your choice if you wish) where we deposit these bitcoins into a multisig address with a referee. One of us wins based on the bet.

Are you gonna put your money where your mouth is? Or a dick where you learn not to open your mouth next time?

What do you say?
