Do we call it upbears here? I got here like a couple of days ago, so I don't want to be a cringe redditor, and call it upvote, and then have people bully me lmao.
We just call them ""big ups" and if a person doesn't get any on their post it gets removed by mods. And if it gets too many it also gets removed by mods for challenging their cyber-strength on the forum.
Yeah probably, but I hope you understand that my account is 2 days old, and it's not like it's unheard of that reactionaries try to join spaces like this. Let me just be here a couple of weeks before I feel comfortable with dropping the /s tag. Being new in spaces like this does put you - rightfully - under some scrutiny.
:fedposting: is a thing lol. I couldn't take being accused of being a lib.
To be fair, there is nothing more funny than calling a fellow communist a liberal :michael-laugh: The profound look of betrayal, and discomfort never gets old
Paying grain to the anarchotankie mod cabal is the price for not having to reflexively add tone tags as a defense mechanism against debate bro redditors. A week after launch I lost a bunch of emotional tension I didn’t realize I was holding from being on :reddit-logo: all the time
Thank you! I've been enjoying not having 86 liberals in my replies when I say that maybe China is not the most evil country that has ever existed in the history of our species hahaha. It's nice here, definitely better for my mental health than Reddit.
Yup I've noticed, and it is very nice. I should say that I agree completely, it's just that on Reddit when you even say "China did this one good thing" people will already crucify you. If you say you like China I'm convinced that the libs think the world is going to end lmao. China's great, and I'm in agreement with everything I've seen here, and I've read theory, I'm not new to the whole communist thing haha.
Just call it an upvote like who the fuck cares. Bullying you for that would be more redditor than calling it an upvote. You're voting and the arrow goes up dont over think it y'all reddit doesn't own arrows or directions
I was also joking a little bit don't worry lmao. Just wanted to know the culture here, and make an excuse for people to make jokes, and explain other parts of the site to me. And a bit of lighthearted non-serious bullying is a fun way to introduce new people to the inside jokes.
No everything has to be serious at all times and we cannot find any humor in the absurdity of hell world.
The last time I smiled was on August 19th, 1991.
I wear a dirty ushanka at all times, do not shave, and only take cold sponge baths because hot running water is bourgeoisie decadence.
Every day at exactly noon I have the same meal of an expired Maoist MRE I store in a pit covered in old issues of a revolutionary newspaper.
I sleep in a bed made of flags from every failed revolution so that they are never forgotten.
In the evenings I stare at a picture of vodka by candlelight, but I do not allow myself to drink because there is nothing to celebrate.
Every local org has banned me after I attempted to split it by assassinating the leadership.
There is no plumbing in my house I shit in a brass bucket with a picture of Gonzalo and Deng french kissing in the bottom of it.
My house is actually an overturned T34 in an abandoned junkyard in Wisconsin.
I have a single friend in this world and it is a tapeworm named Bordiga that I met after ingesting spoiled borscht on 9/11 in the ruins of building 7 (I blew it up after finding that a nominally leftist NGO inside of it wasn’t sufficiently anti-imperialist, the attacks on the world trade center were a perfect revolutionary moment for me to enact direct praxis against liberalism).
My source of income is various MLM schemes in the former soviet bloc that have been running for so long no one remembers who I am, they just keep sending money.
I have not paid taxes since McGovern lost the Democratic nomination for president and my faith in electoralism died more brutally than my childhood dog after it got into an entire jar of tylenol.
I own 29 fully automatic rusted kalashnikovs and three crates of ammunition entirely incompatible with them or any other firearms I own.
My double PHD in marxist economics and 18th century Swiss philosophy (required to understand Engels) sits over the fireplace of my home, my fireplace is a salvaged drum from a 1950s washing machine that was recalled for locking children inside of it.
I chose that washing machine model on purpose because I am anti-natalist.
The Deserter was inspired by a trip I took to a Community Supported Agriculture meetup where I failed to flirt with a Turkish business woman
During the latest BLM protests I firebombed a Nikes outlet in the middle of a peaceful candlelit vigil.
William F Buckley and I wrote hatemail to one another for 47 years until my final letter gave him an aneurysm. The only water I drink is from puddles.
George Lucas and I dropped acid together during an MKULTRA southern baptist summer camp and he went on to write the movie Willow about our time together.
The best way to test whether an electrical wire is live is to drool on it and shrimp salad is racist. You can make an IED out of potassium and the instructions are online thanks to Timothy McVey, who was actually a committed antifascist communist slandered by the deep state as part of operation condor.
Every time a liberal files a restraining order against me, I carve a mark into the wall.
I am running out of walls.
When Amerika finally collapses I will be ready to lead the revolution.
We generally only bully people who come in and, like, post shit takes about geopolitics, or keep starting fights, or use slurs. It's usually pretty chill, if someones ribbing you too hard you can ask them to stop. If someone's hornyposting and it's bugging you post the :volcel-judge: or :volcel-police: or :spray-bottle: and tell them to knock it off and remember their oath.
Mostly just be cool, be left of Bernie, and consider that there's a real person on the other side of the screen and you won't catch much flak.

Be sure to check out our fine collection of emojis
:fidel-cool:
Oh I've seen them :lenin-laugh: They're great. I need to memorize some of them.
also pride emotes :hexbear-non-binary: :hexbear-gay-pride: :hexbear-bi-2: :hexbear-trans:
:body-without-sex-organs: and :a-guy: are my favorite obscure names

Is this the "authoritarianism" that I've heard all the libs say that you commies love? (/s just in case lmao)
This will get you made fun of, comrade

:fedposting: is a thing lol. I couldn't take being accused of being a lib.
You're good haha I'm only saying since you asked about "upbears"
We all get called a :LIB: once in a while anyway. If you don't you're not taking enough risks in your discussions imo
To be fair, there is nothing more funny than calling a fellow communist a liberal :michael-laugh: The profound look of betrayal, and discomfort never gets old
hmmm this is very well-considered...almost...calculated... :fedposting:
plans for your extensive re-education within!
just fuckin' with ya comrade :stalin-heart:

I think upbears is a fun word. Welcome to the site! I hope you enjoy your stay.
Thank you! I've been enjoying not having 86 liberals in my replies when I say that maybe China is not the most evil country that has ever existed in the history of our species hahaha. It's nice here, definitely better for my mental health than Reddit.
Around these parts, we believe China is doing more than most countries, including america, to lift up the people of the world.

:fidel-salute-big:
Welcome to Hexbear, comrade! We like to have fun here :)
Oh, jokes on you I guess. We're all :LIB:S still unfortunately.
we call them uppers, because we are all drug lords, like that one drug lord
Just call it an upvote like who the fuck cares. Bullying you for that would be more redditor than calling it an upvote. You're voting and the arrow goes up dont over think it y'all reddit doesn't own arrows or directions

Haven't you heard? Jokes are a bannable offense on Hexbear.net. There will be no comedy after the revolution!

Shortest leftist joke
Just like the right wingers we have only one joke because we all have to share
Welcome and yes upbear
