My prediction is that "Rebel Moon" will have enough Snyder treat hogs needing to make excuses for it that there will be future "this is leftist, actually, because the Big Bad if you squint at it can actually look like nazis I guess" or even "the Synderesque Cornfield of Burgerland Sentimentality can look kind of like a commune if you squint and hold your breath long enough" or maybe just boil down to "let people enjoy things" thought terminating cliches, all the while the movie will push cartoonishly blatant up-yours-woke-moralists propaganda against straw communists. No one is immune to propaganda, least of all the "propaganda has no effect on me" believers, so I predict that'll be a struggle session.

I expect I will be told to touch grass a lot by that treat's future defenders if it has even a moderate amount of profitability, which would consequently make local hogs want to make excuses for it instead of admitting it's hog-feeding chud propaganda and just eating it anyway with acceptance, which I would respect somewhat more. feast

I'm truly impressed at how incomprehensible this post is to me. "Treat", "struggle", "hog" and "chud" all presumably mean something particular to you.

No insult intended - in-group slang is fun sometimes. It's just kinda cool to be presented with it - reminds me of the Weird Old Internet.

Wanna know the fun part? Even we're a little lost in this guy's posts sometimes. Not as much as a BMF post (or whatever alt account they're on now), but still.

treats = food/entertainment, derogatory

struggle = big argument on the site, generally called "struggle session"

hogs = the unwashed braying (usually) CHUD masses

CHUD = Cannibalistic Humanoid Underground Dweller, fascists/other right wingers

Wait I thought we were hogs feral-hog

I think hog just means anyone who consumes slop, which is to say, a consumer.

Just because cheeto-man's dumper wasn't in the mugshot doesn't mean the mugshot was mid

I will continue like I always have: blissful ignorance of every struggle session, and then learning about them five months later because they flare up like herpes in random threads

I wanted to read discussions about "China's zombie economy" but there ain't any.

Too nerd topic, next one will probably be about wet rocks again

Someone makes a post about using the term "companion animals" in place of "pets," at least 800 comments or a locked thread lathe-of-heaven

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Beans.

Wait that's today's session subject. Hm, maybe debate over rain, cool or bad?

Probably something to do with our flourishing trans comms. Some groups prefer the humor and memes to be more chill and happy, as it was in most reddit-logo subs. Other groups (including my friends and me) are a lot edgier with our trans humor. If both of these groups gain significant traction within hexbear it could lead to some intense fights IMO

Possibly the blood and soil NATO libs are about to have one over supporting Wagner again

It will be over whether chess is fun or important.
