malicious hexbears are taking advantage of people's trauma to turn them against the west folks (and judging by the recent survey, turning them trans too? 
)

the comment in the screeshot is responding to @blakeus12@hexbear.net's wholesome introduction post here: https://hexbear.net/post/3631051
I made a TLDR here: https://hexbear.net/comment/5484512
@frauddogg@hexbear.net this you? jk jk but it does sound like something you might do here lol
Ehhhhhh doubtful. I was around for r/genzedong but I think cth was gone by the time I was indulging misplaced redditor brainworms. Shit, 'blackfellas' sounds like a op on a place like Reddit; I didn't fuck with a single poc sub because I couldn't shake that sense that it was all digital blackface all the way down.
Like, when I talk to Angel or other homies from em_poc I actually believe that's kinfolk. I never once got that feeling on reddit, anywhere; so I wouldn't go to at for any of 'em like that lmao
Interestingly the digital blackface problem was precisely the reason r/blackfellas went mod invitation only six years ago, and the "lurking" problem was a constant source of annoyance for people on the sub, having to deal with the constant stream of "As a white person I understand your struggle" posts
I remember that was actually one of the reasons that power user launched his blitz against the chapo sub, before the 2017 purge of the stupidpol racists, the chapo sub had a toxic reputation with many poc people on the site (especially black users), but the semi-miracle of early 2018 chapo brought many poc people back to the sub, which was why that power user was a little surprised when half the sub and most of the mods backed up his claims and takes
yeah i mean it would have been vanishingly unlikely it would have been you lol, i more so meant you would fight half of hexbear at once if you thought it necessary just like the guy cyborg was talking about. as far as reddit, obviously I'm white so i can't say for certain but BPT when they first did that country club thing seemed like it had a relatively decent chance of actually being made up of mostly black people, but unfortunately the mods are liberals so they eventually let what was both a great bit and honestly a great thing slide and these days it feels like how it used to and also feels incredibly astroturfed, even the country club threads feel basically the same to me
Oh absolutely; but if I'm fighting you, it's probably because I still think there's something worth saving in there. It's when I become indifferent that you're fucked lmao.
Not wrong! Also not wrong about the astroturf; reason I never felt cool around BPT was because I didn't know what to call it yet, but it felt wrong that so much skinfolk could be counted on to go to bat for people who even BEFORE the DNC's mask-off "go fuck yourself" energy, were obviously just taking our support for granted because who else are we gonna vote for, the party of the Klan? The me that exists these days knows them for the misleaders they've always been.
(Honestly in hindsight, a lot of my bias against BPT might've been because I recognized the same manner of talking there that skinfolk on DemocraticUnderground tended to dabble in; and a lot of what started me down the path of ML was just rank, flagrant disgust for the misleadership I was perceiving on a subcon level even at that point in my life regarding the contradiction of being a Black democrat post-2000.)
i'll always have a soft place in my heart for BPT though, seeing everyone freak out about how racist it supposedly was to try and make a subreddit about black people actually be majority black provided hours of entertainment even though I wasn't a socialist yet. just endless waves of my fellow crackers, as you would put it, showing their whole asses
This is the heart of critical support. I'm not gonna sit here and front like watching stupidpol posters mald about them wasn't funny as fuck lmao. "Oh wah, they support segregation", "separatist" this and that aimed at the most milquetoast of misled liberals; my settler in white jesus 99.999% of your subs are white-dominated
