Oh they usually have a real reason, they just don't want to say what it is because that reason is what you'd expect from

Saving this comment so I have a list of emoji names for future reference

In my experience, children getting stimulants isn't usually a big deal for doctors because it's unlikely for children to have a preexisting history of drug addiction. It's young adults, especially people of color, requiring controlled substances that sets off their cop brain worms

I don't use reddit regularly for politics anymore so I'm unsure how this thread compares to the baseline, but most people in that thread still seem to have adopted a classic "both sides bad" approach to thinking about the ongoing genocide

Time, am I right? When the boomers were reaching adulthood, there were still living freedmen who were born into slavery.

Damn, thinking of camping out near the beach below the house so I can loot the wreck after it falls

I also want to say we came up with it, but tbh Genocide Joe is such a generic nickname for a guy named Joe aiding and abetting a genocide that I wouldn't doubt if it arose independently more than a couple times throughout the internet

I really wish I could have a permanent record of everything every liberal has ever said so I could easily demonstrate how full of shit they are in 10 to 20 years when they all collectively deny ever having supported Israel through the Palestinian genocide.

Hexbear is literally the only place on the entirety of the internet where I can be vulnerable in my posts without worry it's going to be used in harassment against me by some reactionary freak.

r/chapotraphouse was one of the most accepting and inclusive subreddits of all time on reddit when it came to not punching down, and Hexbear is orders of magnitude better than even that.

I don't know why compulsory reeducation is so often considered far too "authoritarian" and cruel. Anyone who ends up like this as an adult was clearly and utterly failed by their first education. In situations like these, the most humane thing we can do to course correct is to provide them with a second education, all expenses paid. If reeducation can produce a positive outcome for the last emperor of China, then I'm sure it can do the same for gamers.

The political compass for the most part defines authoritarian as being queerphobic and a racist

The funny thing is, the bigger these threads get over on Hexbear federated instances, the more users from instances like .ca, .ee, or .ml show up complaining about the Hexbears. That stays small in proportion to the actual discussion in the thread, but eventually becomes large in proportion to the stunted version of the thread that .world sees. So despite being defederated with us, .world threads slowly fill up with spam from users complaining about "Hexbear brigaders" as it leaks in and piles up from discussions and dunkings outside of their federation network.
