          Not liking politics

          Pretty much everything conceivable has political associations. Being mad about seeing "politics" somewhere as some kind of new and scary thing is basically this comic.

                  Claiming to be "nonpolitical" is tacit support of the status quo, which is taking a political position without the courage to own up to it. If you want to seem tough and impress internet strangers, work on that.

      We don't have "downvotes" because, in reality, we're the antithesis of your delusional beliefs, you Reddit-brained dipshit.

      What you really hate is that Hexbear is full of leftists because when you realize there's an entire world "to the left" of you, you can't pretend to be the enlightened progressive leftwing white-savior by virtue of not being a member of the most right-wing political group, merely the second most rightwing.

      Again, learning something from a Hexbear account which will make you realize your relative position on the global political spectrum is right-wing and fascist as fuck compared to the non-western empires that exploit and steal resources from around the world from countries with lesser power for your own benefit, while pretending you're an enlightened hero of the world because you eat up neoliberal propaganda that makes you feel like a hero while sitting on your ass consuming your (stolen) treats.

              libertarian* progressive brand of communism

              Let me quote another bit of you:

              I think Biden would have made for a wonderful president a decade ago. The problem is that our issues are so extreme that such a cordial, non aggressive person is not a good fit

              The wrong man for a bad time.

              Between the exponential collapse of capitalism under its perpetual growth model, to the climate crisis, to a rise in global authoritarianism, what we needed was someone who can rock the boat and right the ship.

              This means that POA would've rather had Biden as president than Obamas second term (2013 etc.) - if you are a bit mean to how to interpret it. I would argue that Biden would've been a bad US president even 30 years ago, lets say 1993.

              Sadly I think you are misinterpreting that fact that politics (especially within a capitalist system) is an expression of economics.

              A just society wouldn’t allow them to intermingle.

              Which contradicts Marx. There is a reason he wrote the critique of the political economy.

              Though that is of course a minor thing and creating different concepts is something that communists ought to do, some phrases coined by that and concepts work better than others though. I would argue that while politics is a kind of expression of economics or modes of productions, material and social relations, super structure and alike, it would be wrong to think that it is just a product that itself is a thing completely separated.

              *: The libertarian term is what made people joke about it, since there is quite a number of people who label themselves libertarian communists or anarchists and not few of them are politically incoherent and have bad takes like abolishing age of consent or alike, you certainly are not an "Anarcho" Capitalist and are also not against the abolishing of age of consent, or are you?

              Another bit you posted in 196 at blahaj, a now transphobe community:

              Hello actual communist here. Commies rock, tankies sucks. We really don’t need or want authoritarian behavior in communist communities.

              Which said in squats and communist meetings of trusted comrades have very different emphasis than posted in a reactionary hub. Some would even label you anti communist for it. If you are a communist I would expect you to write more communist stuff in two month honestly.

              Finally it is nice that you label yourself a communist, for me communists aren't people that label themselves as such, but:

              Communism is the real movement that abolishes the state of things

              So are you part of the real movement? How so? What collective actions and social relations do you forge?

        Yeah, I mean, other than the slurs, the vocabulary, the comms, the views on minorities, the views on women, the views on LGBTQIA+, the views on people with different skin colors, the views on people with different religions, the sheer differences in site demographics, the views on economic and political systems, and in general our entire worldview on politics; aside from those very minor differences, we are basically 4chan.

        Thinking that we are merely QAnoners or Trumpers betrays your embarrassing lack of knowledge of anything going on outside your borders. To think the world is encapsulated by a fight between liberals and deranged conservatives, where the arena of political thought is just between Biden and Trump (with Bernie representing the Most Socialist You Can Possibly Be), rather than a class war where you both are on the side of the imperialist bourgeoisie, is a frighteningly sheltered worldview.

            Insulting people for being dipshit reactionaries isn't a "toxic behavioral pattern". The average liberal holding their hands over their ears and screaming "LALALALA I CAN'T HEAR YOU PUTINBOT!!" whenever they hear any rhetoric or politics left of Reagan is infinitely more damaging and toxic to societies online and irl.

            To quote Martin Luther King:

            First, I must confess that over the last few years I have been gravely disappointed with the white moderate. I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in the stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Council-er or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I can't agree with your methods of direct action;" who paternalistically feels he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by the myth of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait until a "more convenient season."

            Shallow understanding from people of goodwill is more frustrating than absolute misunderstanding from people of ill will. Lukewarm acceptance is much more bewildering than outright rejection.
