If you have a materialist worldview and understand class relationships, you can generally come out of most situations with the correct take without knowing the details.

    geordi-no Hexbear users tend to know what they're talking about, given their track record and consistency. I should consider my positions and compare them to one of the theorists they reference.

    geordi-yes Maybe they are right based on vibes

    No idea if this is a hexbear complaining about a lack of people reading theory, or a lost lib complaining about how hexbear keeps getting things right and has solid morals despite being the "bad guys" and an "echo chamber."

    Once you have the dialectical materialism tool in your toolbox a lot of problems become easier to solve.

    It's funny to me they say we vibe into the correct position for 2 reasons: 1) liberal idealism is the most vibes based way to look at the world and 2) of course with that framework they'd be blind to the mechanics of dialectics and materialism and assume we just used some unseen woowoo power called "vibes" in our takes.

    It's like debating a theist on the existence of God and winning and him being like "God made you win the debate."

    Me when people keep telling me to read theory but then I read this "Lenin" guy and he's just saying what I'm saying!

      Me at 13 years old being aware that capitalism logically and inevitably leads to oligopolies and monopolies

      Me now reading Lenin's "Imperialism: highest stage of capitalism"

    It’s not vibes, I just assume by default that everything said by the US Departments of State or Defense is a lie and that the opposite is true.

    This has only lead me astray one time, regarding the Russian “invasion”* of Ukraine, where after saying that was a threat for years I assumed they were lying and it did actually happen

    *Invasion seems like a strong word for entering an ongoing conflict that’s been raging on your border for years

      You can hardly be blamed when Russia was clearly trying to avoid invasion while the US via Zelensky kept poking the bear with a bigger and bigger stick.

      Same tbh, my default assumption is the government is lying and the US is the bad guys

      Past performance and all that

      you forgot to refer to the invasion as "full-scale" as per the western media style guide

      Even that was less of a prediction and more of a promise, seeing how in the week leading up to the intervention, the shelling of the Donbas intensified wildly. Remember during that week or so, when Biden was going on TV every day saying "The Russians are going to attack Ukraine today! Er, *tomorrow!. Uh, I meant the next day!"

      funnily enough whenever my friends ask me about a political subject that I haven't read about yet, 9/10 my vibes based analysis is scarily correct

      the best recent example is probably the nordstream pipeline explosion, we were just drinking and hanging out when it hit the news, we weren't through the headline before I said that this doesn't make any sense for the russian side, it must be us or ukraine

      that said, no investigation, no right to speak, always validate your wibes

    I knew Powell was lying about WMDs when he fooled the U.N.

    Ukraine should have sued for peace two years ago.
