My handlers are asking me to tell you not to link/tag the comment or post, to prevent accusations of brigading obviously, but there have been a ton that should be added as new taglines for the site.

The one that prompted this post:

I'm fine with interacting with people of different ideologies and cultures, but I feel like the hexbears mostly just want to harass us "tankies".

Huh? Do you mean "liberals"? Hexbears are the ones liberals and leftcoms call "tankies"

From what I can tell, which so far is decidedly little, everyone is calling everyone tankies.

      im so proud to have inspired this quote. all i did was post abt the current status of the Ukrainian counteroffensive. it was a long ass post and there was only ONE part that could remotely be interpreted as “pro-Russia”. it was heavily factual reporting from MoA in which mostly western sources are cited. that didnt stop it from turning into a >400 comment lib struggle session, reality is too real for them

    Is it narcissistic to post my own?

    Lib: Basically, every thing wrong with the ccp, every evil, is just western propaganda. They deny the Ughur genocide, tiananmen square, they deny everything and call it western propaganda.

    Me: Wow, they really deny that stuff? Do you have any good sources I can throw at them next time I see that?

    Lib: Nothing really, they just call it western propoganda. Theres no point.

    Me: Maybe some would listen if we showed them strong enough evidence, I mean all that stuff is pretty well documented, right? Aren't there like, pictures or something? At the very least, if we force them to deny strong, reputable sources, it'd make the pitch to defederate stronger.

    Lib: It is well documented, they have been shown sources, and they do not care. I really hope they defed from hexbear soon.

    Me: I know, I'm just asking you to share them with me so I can use them too next time.

          yes, thank you! although, you could have just put the Lib: and Me: into the quotes too if you wanted to keep the quotes so like

          lib: blah blah blah

          me: blah blah blah

          lib: blah blah blah

      I love that they followed up with a "uh yeah I figured out you were trolling" and then provided WIKIPEDIA as the only source

    Communism killed 100 million in Europe alone and 300-400 million in China. Count other parts of the world and the number easily reaches a billion.

    This one was a real knee slapper.

      There was a recent thread about Hurricane Hilary and one of the comments was just here-it-comes planet-hillary planet-hillary planet-hillary planet-hillary and I thought it was hilarious.

    I also hope it's not narcissistic to post my own

    in relation to freedom in America vs freedom in "authoritarian countries":

    people get arrested during strikes and protests all the time in America. of course, you would justify it as "actually they were breaking Clause 8 of Section 9A so it was against the law and they shouldn't have done it!" without questioning if that law might possibly have been drawn up specifically to punish those people because the government couldn't do it legally before. no, all laws in America come straight out of the Founding Father's dick as a glorious bukkake for us all to share freely, while in tyrannical states like Russia and China, all laws are to be questioned and/or drawn up by the supreme ruler himself because he was really extra totalitarian that day

    never try idealism kids, it turns you into this

    There's a new site tagline of a response to UlyssesT that made me actually laugh out loud. Probably because I remember the conversation too, and good ol' Ulysses had me just as jesse-wtf as the person who responded to him. Something about Oppenheimer and booba and I don't know what. Just totally impenetrable posting rat-salute

    Ugh. When I was back on Reddit comments like those would always be downvoted to hell.
