Thank you Hexbear for not being like disgusting shit in this pic. There are far too few sites like Hexbear. This is quite sincerely the only place safe for everyone on the left.

    Why would any fully functioning adult willingly hang out on an image board

    You can switch topics (video games, politics, anime, whatever) but the tone remains the exact same, just assholes being dicks to each other and calling each other slurs. Reading this shit is like being stuck in a train car with a group of the most obnoxious kind of thirteen year old boys

      Why would any fully functioning adult willingly hang out on an image board

      it's embarrassing to admit but
      1. i find people sharing things there that would be censored on twitter (such as testimonies from the civilians in donbass)

      2. there's a lot of reactionaries there but also a lot of alienated proles

      3. it's the only imageboard I know of that lets you post PDFs, mp3 files, etc.. I actually have gotten a few books from there, and given a few books to people there.

        Image boards and dark webs are usually filled with fash but contain some of the realest people you will ever talk to.

        I jumped ship though because the fash started pushing out the cool people and they all came to places like here.

      Cause people there actually talk politics
      The comparison is that on leftypol, arguments on theory frequently devolve into OP's pic, but you still get good conversations sometimes, whereas Hexbear is essentially a permanent dunk tank with no discussion to begin with.
