    That thread was genuinely hilarious and also a good reminder (to me) that liberals will refuse to engage with supporting sources (even from their own preferred media outlets) if it's in contradiction with their vibes-analysis of something. The bad faith accusation against you after you effort-post replied multiple times in a non-combative and sourced way was pathetic even for that instance.

    Godspeed to you continuing to try to help the few salvageable world members.

      Thanks! Yep, you nailed it. Liberalism cannot coexist with genuine analysis along the lines of Dialectical and Historical Materialism. You can notice that they took an ultra-Maoist stance, evidently making it seem like they supported the Cultural Revolution entirely and are anti-Dengist, but they also are generally liberal and anti-Maoist. They have no beliefs, they just want to purity test everyone.

        They have no beliefs,

        They have one belief: that they are smart and superior to everyone else. maybe-later-honey

            The source of that emoji has actually been a cool and good person lately so I felt reluctant to continue the emoji combo. hesitation-2

              I genuinely think that singular emoji might be the most kneejerk-infuriating thing this fed has to offer. I can practically hear the tone leaving that face and it makes me want to commit a felony every time I see it lmfao

                It's one of those faces that's a bit too perfect at it's job, haha. frothingfash is another good one but it saves itself from being infuriating by being hilarious.

                I heard it from other Hexbears, but apparently they picked up a lot of comrade-like takes.
