Thank you for calling me out on the misinformed, small-minded, and frankly awful comments I had made about the Ukrainian conflict. I am significantly out of my element talking politics, especially eastern european politics.
I appreciate everyone who responded to me, even if they were just pointing out how ridiculous or foolish I am.
I'm going to engage in some self reflection and figure out my motives for making uneducated comments on the internet.
I’m very impressed, please do come back. I know we can be a lot to deal with, but you seem willing to learn and we have a lot of amazingly knowledgeable people who can help with that. Not me though, I’m lazy and unread
Came here to dunk amd this is the first thing i saw. We love to see this. Thank you for your honesty and I hope your self-reflection goes well.
Most of us are reformed libs who might have said something similiar to you had we not done some reevaluating of our recieved ideologies ar some point.
If you should want info on left wing perspectives or ideologies, the fine comrades on hexbear are as eager to help as we can be ruthless toward reactionary assertions.
Thanks for the welcome. I'm actually interested in media sources I should check out, specifically around the russia-ukraine conflict. History, analysis, commentary, etc. Anything I find from Google or YouTube (also Google 🤔) is couched in the same exact narrative.
Early on one of our members was keeping an update thread going with sources, that was very helpful, but at certain point it was dropped as the conflict kept going on. Id post this question in the askchapo community and I'm sure you'll be innundated with sources lol, we've got some well informed comrades on there

Hi Hexbear Dunkers,
Thank you for calling me out on the misinformed, small-minded, and frankly awful comments I had made about the Ukrainian conflict. I am significantly out of my element talking politics, especially eastern european politics.
I appreciate everyone who responded to me, even if they were just pointing out how ridiculous or foolish I am.

This is the most surprising thing I've read all week.
Just remember LiberalSocialist said the same thing
I think they did actually learn some things though.

Ok but they were 100% right in the power dynamics thread, people just got uppity because it was about Hasan
"AOC is doing what the unions wanted her to do" was way funnier anyway
"Which unions, LiberalSocalist?"
Rank and file!

What was "power dynamics" about? I mostly just remember the "AOC did what the unions wanted"/"rank and file"

Thanks for clearing that bit of lore up for me comrade.

This would repeat every few days lol. Starting with the Russian kidnappers lie all the way to
"she did what the unions wanted her to do"
Good point. Still this post warmed my heart for a moment, so that's something
Wow, I'm taken aback at a person actually coming onto the internet with an open mind. Good on you stranger, you're kinda my hero.
It's a pretty low bar so please save your admiration for someone who deserves it. Thanks for the encouraging words though.
