The rhetoric and goal of Hexbar are clear based on their announcement: to “dismantle western propaganda” and "demolish organizations such as NATO” shows that Hexbar has no intention of "respecting the rules of the community instance in which they are posting/commenting.” It’s to push their beliefs and ideology.

lol. lmao even

    I was in the process of submitting revisions to the statement on Russia but the part that they took offense to wasn't any of the problems I saw with it, but rather the one part I didn't change that was just like "NATO and the IMF are bad," where I was like, "Perfect, no notes." picard picard-annoyed

    "Pushing your beliefs" is inherently against the rules, if those beliefs are critical of NATO. Lemmy.world is explicitly a pro-NATO community where criticism of the organization gets you banned. What a mess.

      The funniest part of this is it's like.... Universal. There is no left conflict over this. All the anarchists, all the socialists, all the demsocs, all the communists, literally everyone agrees on these two - the IMF and NATO are bad.

      It's fucking wild that this came across as the core of their post. It goes to show that liberals have absolutely no idea what people believe outside of their bubble, in their country. They're nationalists and chauvinists through and through.

        Liberals don't care what happens to anyone outside of Europe and the US (except I guess japan-cool and Pepsi logo Korea). I know it shouldn't be a shock, but it's what makes talking to them aggravating.

          I just realized, the Japanese flag is technically using Shinto symbolism, isn't it?

      I had to reread that part because it was difficult to imagine a community that likes NATO and the IMF. It straight up didn't register to me that the speaker took issue with your statement.
