    The hexbears will attack me for saying that a regulated free market is good and a planned economy is bad.

    By 'attack' or do you mean engaging in well sourced arguments against your assertions? And by the way we have plenty of market socialists amount our numbers

      I got a lot of good information about the Ukrainian war in another thread, but had to endure being called "A liberal" and hearing assumptions about what I read or believe in... So I support what you say in general, but as an outsider it feels like a mixed bag.

      At least, for now.

        Something to learn is that communists call everyone a liberal. Communists call communists liberal when they don't agree on a single issue. Its not really personal, its just a thing we do.

      I was told me another hexbear that essentially you guys don't believe in good faith debate on public forums, hence all the insufferable shitposting and trolling.

        I can't really speak for a site - it's users are not a monolith - but the general culture is that you are not owed a good faith discussion , if you clearly aren't interested in one. If you look you'll notice that when people ask questions they get them asnwered, but when they try to make gochas or they get embroiled in an argument, but then don't respect the other well enough to respond to their queries, then it turns into shotposting. And why wouldn't it? Why would I wanna spend energy validating some doofus that's pretty obviously just trying to troll? Why would I validate someone's opinion on something they obviously know nothing about, when I've shared sources and knowledge which they then disregard in order to continue knowing nothing?
