First things first. Hexbear makes my life bearable sometimes. I don’t use an account because I don’t like how addicted to social media I get sometimes and I’m afraid of pissing people off, because although I consider myself an ML, I come from a very conservative family where I unknowingly say bad things about idpol.

Anyways. As a very drunk man (bad very bad day first time drinking in months - not an alcoholic), do you think the US government monitors hexbear? Like if I browse it without a VPN do you think I become a POI, serious, if not stupid, question?

Again, thank you for being a shining beacon in my day surrounded by people who justify genocide, political violence against the global south, and endless enterprise. I really am grateful even if I’m not the best Marxist. You’ve taught me about donbas, about the struggles of north Korea, the toils of Iran among so much more

Edit: As a still drunkman someone asked me about idpol. I uh can't see ur messages here but I can on my Lemmy client.

uh to make myself clear not in an Obama way - I find nick Mullen stuff funny. It makes me feel bad because of the punching down so i avoid it. and I might do things that are unintentionally mean, forgetting to use the correct pronouns (like genuinely I hardly meet with my enby friends so my mind just defaults to calling someone female presenting she rather than the preferred they. I do try to correct but sometimes I'm so absent minded that I'd rather not upset anyone.

I am trying to self crit so I'm OK with being dunked on I guess. But I isolate BC I don't wanna upset ppl. Its harder to express my intentions online when I mess up. @lemmmygradwontallowme

    I think I'm qualified to talk about this. I work at Langley and it's complicated. Do I get paid to monitor leftists so that I can report posters who post too good so they can get injected with cringe takes and nanobots? Sure. But it's happened just over a dozen times. The reality is that a lot of my peers don't really value my work and will go so far as to demean me and make fun of me.

    This is especially hurtful when my work crush, Sam, says things like "If you can do your work in your sweatpants then you're not really a spy like us." It made everybody laugh and I felt my heart drop. I complain to my manager to plead saying "these are the best posters on the left! We need to be devoting more resources to the cause. Please move Sam to the project so I can show them how important the work is." But of course, Sam is busy with the Juan Gauido project still so they gave me a virtual AI assistant instead, Intelligent Ian.

    Intelligent Ian is anything but. Our SOP demands that I ask it every day for the top 100 most destabilizing hexbear posts. It'll think of some really, really illegal-to-say stuff. However, it's all hallucination. It's complete fabrication. So now the majority of my day, some 80% of my work, is just going around and verifying everything that II is telling me. The freakin Hexbear admins won't give me a government backdoor API so I have to do it all by hand...

    All of this to say that the government is "watching." But internally, you can't really be a POI if they're not interested in my reports. Neither my work crush nor my manager really take me seriously. If you want to talk about a POI, you should talk about my rival, Johnathon China xigma-male . He's been embraced by this community in ways that I could never. The worst part? One time Sam came over to my cubicle and goes "you're a computer person, right?" I nod and then I go over to their computer. THEY HAD A FUCKING JOHNATHON CHINA POST AS THEIR BACKGROUND! He's singlehandedly infiltrated Langley, Hexbear, and is basically taking over the world while I'm sitting here talking about my crush and how nobody respects my spycraft. It's so fucking rough, comrades...
