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? kyle )

the comment in the screeshot is responding to @blakeus12@hexbear.net's wholesome introduction post here: https://hexbear.net/post/3631051

    This user's post is so wrong.

    1. First accusation is that it's more radical and mean than CTH was. I don't agree, CTH was fucking nuts at times. They're presenting it like it was a socdem space and this has gone way further left than it but you're talking about the subreddit that was banned for saying slavers should be killed and that spez is a slaver lmao. The sub practically went out of its way to be edgy and get banned. Moderation here is way tamer and less crazy.
    2. Second accusation is that the site "dwindled" from any users to few. This ain't true either, hexbear is more active now than it has been.
    3. There was never any divide over Russia-Ukraine. This user is literally making it up. There's definitely never been cheering over killing of civilians, you lying neoliberal fuckhead. Treating war like a football game? Projection.
    4. "I went to therapy and it saved me" lmao libs literally always resort to "go to therapy" for fucking everything. Biggest giveaway this is a neoliberal larping.
    5. "Now I look back on my several years as a hexbear user" you're absolutely full of shit mate.

    This is a neoliberal that's skimmed the place a few times. Nothing more.

    I started as alt-right, realised I actually like queerness. Then I went communist, realised murder is childish and how much I was being played and then decided to do my own thing.

    Literally nobody in the left WANTS murder. We're just not naive enough to think that the transition of power will ever be allowed to be peaceful. We'd love that, frankly, but every time that's been tried it has resulted in millions of communists being murdered without any means to defend themselves. The means to defend ourselves are necessary and we expect violence to be necessary because the ruling class will not allow a peaceful transition. That's NOT being pleased with the idea of murder at all. It's just understanding that peaceful revolution is not really allowed for what we want.

        Yeah kinda basic mistake right there. Especially with the frequent posts about modlog entries.

        I wonder if any of this is chatgpt... Are we in chatgpt's training data yet?

          wouldn't surprise me, although i have to imagine even with our posting prowess we might still make up too small a part of the data set to meaningfully influence it

            AI will never be able to make a BMF post.

              i'd love to watch it try and see if it somehow becomes more deranged than the real posts or if in a paradoxical way the AI slop posts are easier to understand than his posts
