      This might actually be the absolute peak of internet slacktivism.

    Liberals cannot conceive of doing anything without a financial incentive. The idea of having empathy and wanting to build a better world for everyone is irreconcilable to their capitalist-poisoned brains.

    Also even if that was true how exactly would posting an image of money hit us in our pocketbooks? Do they think Xi doesn't pay us for a post if they reply with an AI-generated image of a coin embedded? What the fuck are they talking about?

      Terminally online liberals believe that unmasking anyone Chinese online, usually through shit like this or spamming the Tinyman Square copypasta, they will cause the government to disappear that person for failing to uphold their secret identity

      They hate the government not the people though

      Not to mention, who would pay to astroturf a shitposting leftist forum that sees not even 1k users per day? And posting a digital image of a coin stops us getting our pay?

      This is that "posting the Tienanmen Square textblock causes any Chinese users who view it to get disappeared" 'logic' taken to it's extreme

      This is one of the stupidest things I've ever seen

      ed: I gotta say, it is making me want to post an image of a dollar bill with the caption "very nice Yankee, how much is Langley paying you" at anyone positive towards the US. I won't be doing it because I believe they are paid, but because I know it will irritate many of them lmao

      I realized that they literally cannot conceive of someone not being selfish and only caring about themselves when I was part of a group that disrupted a graduation ceremony to demand the university divest from Israel. Some people shouted at us "this isn't about you" and I was confused at first, because obviously it isn't about us, it's about doing what little we can to try to stop a genocide. Made more sense when I realized libs cannot conceive of doing anything that does not immediately benefit themselves. Those woke teens must just want attention!

    That's true. Over the last 4 years I have earned $776.50 posting on hexbear.net at 50 cents per post. Follow your dreams and you will never work a day in your life. I have used this money to put a down payment on my first home. Thank you hexbear. Thank you President Xi.

      I made over $1400 last year. That's almost enough to cover an entire month of rent! Thanks, Xi!

    Despite the common allegation of the commentators getting paid for their posts, the paper suggested there was "no evidence" that they are paid anything for their posts

    I desperately need liberals to start reading their fucking "sources".

      liberals don't read, they check if the headline conforms with their worldview and then forward it to their friends, who also don't read it

          You know they say that all men are created equal, but you look at me and you look at Samoa Joe and you can see that statement is not true. See, normally if you go one on one with another wrestler, you got a 50/50 chance of winning. But I'm a genetic freak and I'm not normal! So you got a 25%, AT BEST, at beat me. Then you add Kurt Angle to the mix, your chances of winning drastic go down. See the 3 way at Sacrifice, you got a 33 1/3 chance of winning, but I, I got a 66 and 2/3 chance of winning, because Kurt Angle KNOWS he can't beat me and he's not even gonna try! So Samoa Joe, you take your 33 1/3 chance, minus my 25% chance and you got an 8 1/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. But then you take my 75% chance of winning, if we was to go one on one, and then add 66 2/3 per cents, I got 141 2/3 chance of winning at Sacrifice. See Joe, the numbers don't lie, and they spell disaster for you at Sacrifice.

      Clearly we're both, similar to how communism is such an obvious failure with inherent fatal flaws that amerikkka has to oppose it with any and all means available whenever there's even a slight chance a socialist movement gains any momentum whatsoever

    No, it's five mao, or half a yuan. Which is just seven US cents.

    Seriously, I don't know how anyone could possibly think we are all bots. Take one look at the trans mega. It's almost entirely hexbear users posting about our experiences, or chatting, or just talking about our day. You think Xi Jingping is paying us to post at each other? For what? To make it look convincing to Western liberals? They actually operate on a different level of lying to themselves to believe this.

      Only about a third of us are paid by Xi. In order to get the 500$/day for posting you need to convince 2 other people to start posting Xi Jinping thought

    If I had .50c for every time some lib asked me "who's funding this?" at a protest, I would have quite a few dollars. It absolutely breaks their brains that someone would do something without getting paid, let alone put their life and safety on the line for others with nothing in return.
