      Materialism vs idealism is different from materialism vs spirituality and magic. Not that you should think magic is real though.

        Yeah I think a lot of hexbears don't understand the meaning of materialism. I don't see a problem with having spiritual believes as long as you're not making your revolutionary praxis be sending good vibes telepathically to the npp . I think a lot of users here are le epic reddit atheists at heart still and think theyre right about everuthing because they saw the light of Marxism and having a more correct framework for the world than most people around you can make you a little cocky

          I agree. Also I think a lot of people these days are moving away from pure rationalist vulgar materialism as their sole guiding philosophy and bringing some kind of spiritual beliefs into their lives, which I see as a good thing. for me I found relying solely on the former to be unsatisfying. A lot of people have Anglo enlightenment brain and can't conceive that in all likelihood phenomena exist that can't be explained by our current understanding of e.g. physics or hard sciences. Saying spiritualism is anti Marxist is super reductive and pretty Reddit atheist brained like you say.

        Materialism is definitely when you do believe in literally anything you want especially when it's completely unscientific and divorced from material reality, then? Ok, got it! A real MArxist materialist just can't believe that it was fairies' and ghosts ideas that were the driving force in history. Makes sense. lol

            What are you talking about, no they aren't. Besides, when did it become not ok on hexbear to treat harmful and false ideas with the condescension and disdain they deserve? You do know about the Posting Policy Bulletin at the bottom of every hexbear page, I hope. Also, telling someone to relax is pretty condescending, just fyi.
