It is a gag dated back to the Dark Days of Reddit, where there were regular posts about, "Well, actually, homelessness is good in the free market pee pee poo poo I am very intelligent."
As they were not engaging in good faith, we, too, chose not to engage in good faith. Thus, we sent them photos of a prize hog defecating on his own testicles. The tradition of sending PPB to bad faith actors carries on to the present day.
You're acting like it's gore or something. It's literally just poop. Gross, maybe, but not really that offensive. Certainly not as disgusting as liberal takes on homelessness, bombing 3rd world countries, sacrificing lives for capitalism, etc.
And unlike those, a pig pooping on their own balls never hurt anyone.
You sent it to everyone who said anything you didn't like day one of you federating. Lemmy.ml news and politics communities basically just became a toxic waste dump for a month and a half because hexbears thought people weren't left enough, or thinking that Russia invading Ukraine was bad.
you don't agree with us. Don't pretend like it's anything different.
I don't see how the baby bieng thrown out cliche applies. We see libs parroting bullshit we reply, there's no baby to be thrown out when it comes to libs and their propaganda or brainworms
Don't know your specific beliefs but no in all liklihood I don't agree with you. I don't think I even remotely preteneded that. We probably agree on some things but I expect our over arching political beliefs are going to be at odds.
Just for my knowledge is a liberal anyone who isn't a Marxist-leninist? Are Fascists Liberals under your definition?
No, just liberals are liberals. People who ultimately support capital and liberal democracy. You don't have to be ML. Hexbear is non-sectarian, but we expect internationalist, anti-capitalist, and supportive of intersectional struggle from people on the actual left.
Fascism is basically capital abandoning liberalism to defend itself from socialism. So, fascists arent liberals. But sometimes when they get scratched the fash does comes out. Ask the average lib about the homeless, or Roma for european libs.
If you care more about how we agrue than what we're argueing about then you don't agree with us on anything you wouldn't abandon in a heartbeat
Well I'm glad Hexbears have stopped spamming pig testicles at least. But. First impressions mean a lot and they did not make a good one.
The people who got PBBd deserved every one of them.
Every person who read the comments on a thread deserved it? The replies being public ruins that excuse.
I am assuming PBB is some acronym for pig bollocks.
PPB is an acronym for Pig Poop Balls.

It is very funny.
Ah you replied but the notification didn't end up in my mailbox.

If you were more offended by PPBs than what the people we posted that in response to were saying then you deserved to be offended

Then it was already a toxic waste dump. You just agreed with the opinions we were pushing back on
By arguing in bad faith and throwing the baby with the bathwater.
Your principled critic
Our bad faith argument

My otherwise lib AF friends when I talk about less car centric infrastructure in a nutshell.
Carbrain turns libs people into
pretty fast.
To be fair, the infastructure in the US and consooom car culture really stacks the deck in favor of car derangement syndrome here
Literally the first paragraph
