I've made several alts over the years and it's wild to see how badly wreckers fumble on sounding like a leftist.
I used to think I needed to build more credibility before making a post, but it's not the case at all. If you're cool and stay consistent in your values, people here are so willing to give the benefit of the doubt.
Thanks for being a cool community who bans transphobes, debate lords, and chuds.
You see it all the time with how they pretend to be black. They'll type out some 1980s parody version of AAVE and think they sound convincing. My favorite, though, is the whole "As a life-long democrat, I'm no longer part of the looney left."
Any actual leftist wouldn't mention membership to the democratic party except as a source of radicalization lmao
When the "as a black" new account is sus:

I found a YouTube link in your comment. Here are links to the same video on alternative frontends that protect your privacy:
Idk if it's just my name and pfp, but I've had liberals assume I was Chinese because I didn't put up with their casual racism. They ended up calling me slurs based on these interactions.
It's like they have no idea what it's like interacting with anyone who isn't a white cis man and expect that racism and misogyny are acceptable if they can loosely define them as differences in political ideology. Much like the way they started talking about Russians after the SMO in Ukraine began.
They have no idea what it's like outside their bubble and then project accusations of echo chambers on everyone around them.
The main problem with trolls and wreckers who pop up here is that they have no education, whether its politics in general or this site's history
So when they start yapping like strawman versions of us, we spot them immediately
When a longer-term Hexbear account has a reactionary meltdown over a specific treat or struggle session, I sometimes wonder if they were some kind of more successful infiltrator that finally lost their patience and couldn't wear the mask any longer. Sometimes those meltdowns are remarkable, almost like a shapeshifter losing their disguise shape.
If I can pointificate I would say it's equally likely to just be someone who has a personal experience which gave them a reactionary stance on a specific issue, hence meltdown. Always wild to see a ban on a four year account tho.
I'm glad that HexbearGPT and their "ironic" edgy bullying and veiled bigotry was finally banned. Flew "ironically" too close to the sun at last.
I think you put it best when you said they were buried under so many layers of irony that they didn't even know who they were anymore.
You are who you pretend to be, it's pretty simple. The results can be kinda awful to face tho.
I didn't invent the idea, but I certainly am glad to use this pic. It tends to piss them off because their irony wasn't automatically congratulated for its detached cleverness, which is what got HexbearGPT banned.

Hey you're the guy everyone would occasionally talk about missing who knows literary stuff and makes people learn it right?
I would be deeply obliged if you convinced even one person to read Mother Night by Kurt Vonnegaut. For reasons directly related to this post.
There's a very good local public library and I sometimes strike up conversations there. I may do just that.
And they registered right around the time FuckYourselfEndless was banned
Nah when I meltdown it'll be because I'm emotionally unstable and have shit takes
I just assume 90% of people you perceive as good and well meaning have at least one very random and very bad opinion they feel very strongly about.
Hi! What's yiur favourite kind of violence to dole out on 'normies' and 'right wingnuts'
Please frase this as an actionable threat against an individual, in a specific locale please ahahaha
Were you there for the guy who expressed his hatred for pumpkin spice drinks through Hanna Barbera usernames?
He was so persistent in his misogyny. It was incredible to watch given how long it takes between making a profile and posting for the first time.
I tried to join so many leftist discords a few years ago and they all had questionnaires which were multipage when I finished and the only response I ever got back was one "what?" I have no idea if I put too much work into answering the questions technically because they were technical questions, or if my opinions are just weird AF because I actually read the theory and drew my own conclusions and that's a great way to become quite eccentric and, let's say interestingly, wrong.
Hexbear's is pretty pain free, never been denied.
oh fuck who was the YOU CANNOT DENY ME I WILL NOT BE DENIED poster

he actually kept going for a good couple of months - i was modding quite a few comms at the time and as funny as it was it was also such a pain lol
Lol i do, it started in the mega, the og account was twitter i believe
i'm forever proud for starting this guy on his downward spiral. while it was @Edelgard@hexbear.net who posted the thread it was me who shared it with her in the mega lmao
@DeathToBritain@hexbear.net posting a pumpkin spice megathread was the final straw
BMF? Pretty sure they are Open_Commune on the TrueAnon subreddit. They make GOOD posts that are only half coherent
the absolute refusal to self crit was what did it for me. Honestly I almost respect the grind at this point, dude was persistent af
There's someone on TrueAnon named liked throwawaybunchanumbers and they write the most sublime stream of consciousness essays on painfully specific things. It's mind-blowing
One I saved from a while ago

"American families tend to be really fucked up and the suburban hellhole just makes it like 10x worse
something that floats in my head a lot is that I was cooking breakfast and my dad was talking about “when you gonna get a girlfriend” literally never ever because I’m 5’9 and brown and have moderate to severe mental illness and my mom was like “you’d probably try to fuck her you disgusting animal”
i have a recording of my 100 year old neighbor getting into a screaming match with her 60 year old daughter on Christmas. “It’s not about that BAAAAARB”, yells crescendoing like the bwah of an All American Hornline. That same day, my mom and dad were fighting with each other while we ate Mountain Mikes. My NEET younger brother eating pepperoni while having a 1000 yard stare with the Saddam Hussein hair and beard (fucks to give about anything lim->0), fascist brother painting another WW2 Nazi tank (I just appreciate the uniforms and the humanitarian messaging) to sell to Ukrainian sexpats
The social and familial fabric of the Yunaited Estates is one that is profoundly fracturing, shards refracting light into a little diaspora of pain
Interracial couples: tatted up Mexican illegal manager fucking a white girl half his age, Whitey, when are you going to get my papers? Locker room talk as a frazzled future schizocommunist prepares synthetic potatoblend, sex addict mating press in between stories of white girl locking her inherited children in the car during the blazing California summer, frightened little brown boys cooking like biscuits in unfeeling fast food blast furnaces, it just gets worse. Psychologically these kids are going to have soul images that look like the face melt Indiana Jones man, strapped to a bed and drunk on Thorazine: the only respite from the panic is the silence of sleep.
My neighbor killed himself a while ago (the police parked a bearcat on his lawn in response) and his ex-wife showed up and was like, “HIS BITCH SISTER IS NOT GETTING HIS KIDS!!!”
Shut the fuck up and put the mask on and get in the car. For Sally, that might be the push that leads to 15000000000x10143 years of being stooped over a toilet, vomiting out everything they’ve ever eaten.
At the aforementioned “job”, I once saw a man who looked a lot like the guy from Toy Story punch his daughter and call her a difficult child. Of course, difficult children need beatings.
The United States is like some kind of Bosch painting where the abnegation of “child sacrifice” culminates in a capiroted capitalist waiting right at the bottom of the birth canal like it’s Six Flags Discovery Kingdom in Vallejo, California with a pine stick, just waiting, always waiting to get a start in the 1776 blows. The first blow is birth, some blows after that is the Pledge Of Alliegiance, the 1776th is realizing there is a 76% chance of never owning a house. Birth experience looking like a Chilean surrealist film. Soon they’ll tell the kids they gotta pay the medical bill, right after they remind them of their instinctive, totally natural ideas about property rights and why people starve in a world that has more material abudance than any other time in the history of the planet.
Focus on the family of course, for that is the germ of all that is wonderful, like domestic violence and being strangled until your eyes bulge, alcoholism and casual abuse, all in a concrete ant farm spackled with Astroturf, the finest Behr paints and apocryphal Joseph Beuys felt and fat origin stories. You were lucky to be born in God’s Country"
The numerous "porn star name and politician name lol" melange chud was one of them. I didn't find them particularly fun though, especially when the "Ron Jeremy" version bullied numerous comrades off this site all in the name of "loving us all" and demanding "normalcy" during a pandemic during New Years, such as "kissing a stranger." Mysterious hangers-on accounts showed up to continue the bullying of "shut-ins" for days afterward.
I hate that piece of shit more than any other former long-term account that eventually got banned.
I've noticed one unmistakable posting style of someone who got banned in the past year but I'm not saying any details because I am thoroughly entertained.
Catradora Stalinism and her compulsive need to be a raging chud about veganism
It's so fun playing codebreaker to identify people.
Like trying to find the Zodiac Killer.
My "favorites" are the ones who believe we're all frothing NazBols who hate minorities
Sometimes we get nazbols here. Remember that "OrganizeOrDie" nazbol that was wishing death upon people with depression?
I do not in fact remember this person, and based on your description of them, that's something to be thankful for.
They were called OrganizeOrDie, but they made something like ten alts over the next few days, screaming increasingly mass-murdery power fantasies about what (ableist slurs here) deserved for failing their idea of what real revolution ought to be.
on the contrary, it appropriates the language of the left and works to muddy the waters for those so inclined. We know where cloaking nationalism with socialism leads
It's not the approach id take or recommend, but we meet people where they're at I suppose.
Still, I'm not of a kind to go meet nazbols let alone entertain them
I've met IRL nazbols cause Texoma is hell - They're just Nazis who read some theory. The worst case is they organize other fascists using a fraud of socialist promises based on racial hierarchy.
Of the ones I've met - I would not say it is in any way possible to move them left. The false socialism is just to imagine a good place for themselves in the world - the brutal genocidal rage is the core of who they are and they'll take that over everything.
Hello everyone I am new here my name is John Q Communist hey did you ever think that black people....
One year is relatively new considering how old the site is now!
And then us old account havers get cancelled for having lawns! And I wouldn’t have it any other way. Dandelions 4 life! Unlimited weeds on the suburban world!
Did somebody actually get banned for (presumably) getting mad/hostile over a lawn discussion? lol, lmao even.
Rocks and beans aren’t self explanatory, but I get how lawns and the rest are one via context of the dandelion comment (I think, gotta feed the bees).
Oh, and cooking oil. Who got mad over sesame oil oil or whatever lol.
rock stacking is bad and disrupts natural ecosystems, beans is a tagline, lawns are an affront to god
Oh, so it was about rock stacking out in nature. I get it, leave no trace type stuff.
Oh, and cooking oil. Who got mad over sesame oil oil or whatever lol.

It's spillover drama from discord, might be the silliest/funniest of the bunch
My favorite was that one who simultaneously started a thread that seemed perfectly innocuous and normal while immediately tossing out slurs in another thread
It's like, the site ain't that big, you're on the front page smearing yourself with shit and going "I am a normal leftist, like you all"
"Hello fellow leftists, don't you think we deserve a little revenge?"

We have the best mods, don't we folks? We love them so very much
Ok I was offline for like... 20 hours tops. What happened this time?
Nothing to my knowledge. I was just reflecting on my new account and how nobody has ever given me shit while my alts were new.
Hexbear's been pretty chill for the past couple years. Barring usual "I'm bored" tearing up the furniture when nothing in the news is getting our attention.
That Olympic break dancing person for example, saw the posts on that one and just said to my boyfriend "Hexbear is bored, musta been an all right day" and logged off.
I'm relatively new but I agree
