I had some conversations here. They were saying that north Korea is a lovely democracy, Russia is totally justified in Ukraine, and China isn't doing anything to the Uyghurs in Xinjiang. Just some examples from yesterday.
Hmm, looks like the response to the un report is some guy on Twitter. And he seems to mostly handwave a ton of eyewitness testimony and investigations because they're from western governments.
What do you mean no first hand sources? I thought those were the the eyewitness that he dismissed because some of them hadn't talked to people about their traumatic experiences before talking to the UN.
I'm not bothered by the translations. An office translation would need to be by China, right? So they'd have a motive to mistranslate to downplay what they're doing. As long as the original documents as well as the translations are available, it should be easy enough to check the translation accuracy.
I went into the thread. You defended Nazis and argued that it makes sense that the FRG (west Germany) had so many Nazis in control of the government, police, judicative, and companies. While there were alternatives (believe me as someone living in Germany and having informed myself about that I know it). You also moved your goal posts and tried to diminish influences of other states i.e. the US (which you nationalist rise above others). All in all you would be okay in the instance, but get back lash when you kept up the way to jump from one to the other.
That you try to ignore those actions and the responses to your comments fits that lemmy users arguing against hexbear are deflecting heavily from their own responsibility and their own actions.
Your points in regards to both Russia&Ukraine are also not true (else you would directly link to it, and then there is no consensus in the hexbear userbase neither) and liking the CFR article is also not showing anything about hexbear (who - if you do search for it - are actually linking the UN report as well as the Chinese answer in regards to the Uigurs in their threads and comments about it).
They're coming here. They've all got their pronouns after their names, (which is actually a great idea) so it's a little easier to tell them apart. I've got a useless thread with a few in memes@lemmy.ml right now.
It's frustrating, because I have pronouns after my name and I dislike hexbear.... a lot. It is a good idea to have users give pronouns and automatically attach it.
Their behaviour has made me constantly check if people with pronouns after their names are part of hexbear before engaging in any threads, because of the stress of dealing with them :/, sometimes I do engage anyway and immediately regret it /shrug
It is depressing, because normally using pronouns like this indicates trans supportiveness so I feel better about conversing with people with them on their names. Hexbear has ruined this because of their behaviour around all other topics and sometimes trans topics.
Just hope Jerboa gets instance-blocking features soon ;p, then I can block them on both my lemmy accounts .

I can't find the source of that website. Do you know where it comes from?

Examples of what? People disagreeing with you?
People disagree with things most everyone on sjw would agree with.
Oh no, how dare they disagree!

Well. I think that thread gave me cancer. What a cesspool.

I didn't say a single thing about my views on anything.
They're coming here. They've all got their pronouns after their names, (which is actually a great idea) so it's a little easier to tell them apart. I've got a useless thread with a few in memes@lemmy.ml right now.
That community is a disaster anyway.

For what it's worth I hope we get instance blocking features soon so I don't constantly have to see the toxic shit seeping out of the rest of lemmy.
So you only want to use hexbear? You've got the local tab, but I guess you can't block comments.
I was perfectly happy only using hexbear for years. I generally browse all otherwise
