No Hexbear isn't brigading you I'm clicking on the main page of the website and replying to whatever I see. I don't even know what website I'm on, I have ADHD, I aint got the kind of focus. Anyway I'm going to go brigade a thread about video games with my pro-FFXIV propaganda.
But have you considered that the hexbears are mean to me and don't respect my liberal politics?
This is ironically also the Hexbear justification for defederaing other instances now, lmao.
What? Not liking politics is far different than actively using slurs.
Eh i think they mean not liking the politics of the people. In this case those politics were transphobia and racism.
No that is the same thing, and my entire point is that we would not previously have used that as an excuse to shy away from engaging in ideological struggle with another sub, or instance.
I brigade myself every night
(ok maybe not every night that sounds tiring)
Can somebody please invite me to the secret brigade organizing comm? I've never been directed to brigade anyone yet.
I'm a soldier with no CO.
A yin with no 🧢.
A
without a racism.Send help!
yeah sometimes the orders get mixed up between Soros, Putin and Xi. It's a chaotic situation
If we defed sh.it.my.pants and lemm.pee, we can actually brigade them. That's not my main reason to defed them, but still.
brigading is when people i don't like tell me i'm very stupid, and it should be illegal
A hexbear post on hexbear? Stop brigading hexbear, you hexbear!
Hexbear users remind me of those grey bad guys on the power rangers.

Edit: lmao at the breakdancing footwork.
I like to think of us as Monarch henchmen, what with the butterfly gettups et al
MINIONS!
They like that better than "henchmen"
eta: "Murderflies" is also apt
Going to earn my wings in a
raidbrigade on theVenture compounda pro-Stepan Bandera Lemmy thread@RustyVenture@hexbear.net how is it that we have 2 Venture Bros bit accounts?
How do we only have two Venture Bros. bit accounts? I should try to get some emoji submissions together…
Only two venture Bros bit accounts? That dog don't hunt!
Cops and gangs all run the same game my friend. It's an ugly heartless world.
Cops and gangs all run the same game my friend.
yeah, that's our point too.
Exactly that's why I don't understand why this person's posting this stuff.
I've been here since the beginning and honestly I don't know why you're getting so much shit. I think they're assuming you're a cop based on your username?
mate, as someone who has actually spent years in prison, no one fucking talks like this
You are a homophobe? You say you are hated by LGBT community and that’s all that makes sense
All I'm trying to say is fuck with gangs as well as cops. If you've been deeper in that game you know they both use the same fascist tactics to groom, control and intimidate. Street boss are no better in essential action than mainstream boss. They both don't care about us and they both live for profits. Fuck with em all.
(But be careful you don't want to fuck with mobs that will burglarize the homes of your loved ones.)
I'm down for lawlessness until lives are hurt and fucked with. I've seen that shit and... And trust me you don't want to be hearing voices from ptsd like a war vet. Or have cars follow you, or get your families identities and credit cards fucked with. You don't want to wake up to a masked man in your room. That shit is real
Mainstream or street fuck Americans.
Not trying to be an anarchist. Just going day by day learning and living mate. I don't like using any political labels or ideologies.

yeah this is true. And sometimes the gangs even work for the feds.

I also remember there was some weird stuff with the mob and the JFK assassination
When I insult someone with an obviously incorrect opinion that is the free market of ideas
When a bunch of people insult me over my enlightened takes that is brigading
we can't even see them on other instances, it only shows how many upvotes a post has
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.
Hexbearers can't downvote. And we can't dictate anything you do either. We are terminally online though.
Also we're always right.
I'm posting from Lemmygrad so I downvoted you, comrade.
I love it when I see a post on Hexbear with like 10 Lemmygrad downvotes, it's like a secret handshake.
Funny that you want to use force to silence a left unity community. Very anarchist of you.
We literally have emojis for days. Imagine the power you'd have at your fingertips with a hexbear account.
Allow me to demonstrate:
Unity? Whenever I want to discuss my libertarian progressive brand of communism you all harass me.
And this is the kind of hexbear behavior we've all come to expect. Its why your entire instance has become so maligned.
If I recall, yall promised your mods to behave once you federated.
Oh no! GUYS, WE'RE MALIGNED! Did you hear that? The liberals have MALIGNED US!
Communist dude. Im a literal communist. My point is, unlike what the commenter suggested, this is not a place for left unity. Thats fine, but nobody here should be pretending it is.
Hell, you all cant even abide by a different flavor of communism.
Communist dude. Im a literal communist.
Cool, lay out what books and authors you read that lead you to your beliefs.
you all cant even abide by a different flavor of communism.
sure we can, we have all sorts here. we even ban sectarianism against trots!
thing is, there's just one little test your ideology needs to pass before it can be protected under the anti-sectarianism rule. it's actually super easy. ready?"what do you think about the age of consent?"
no lying now, libertarianYou're not a communist. Communism is not something you make up in your own head
Communist dude. Im a literal communist.
It is absolutely precious that you think this
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?
I'm sure you start furiously typing up another essay to read at your next tankie meet up in gam gam's basement.
Still waiting for you to answer my question to explain otherwise
When you call everyone you don't like a liberal, it kind of loses what little definition that you gave it, tankie.
Hey I remember you, I only remember the name because you said something stupid and got mocked for it. That's unfortunate but that's how a lot of people learn, myself included. You'll either come around on this or you'll allow yourself to drift further rightward out of spite. The choice is yours comrade.
Oh yes "democratic" communism. We have unity with actual tendencies, not ones you made up in your head
Yeah we can't just dislike and move on, we must post. Whether it's writing a response or just
or 
Hexbear doesn't have downvotes lol but I'm not from there and I do as I'm told soooo
Doesn't your crappy website have a way to sort our stuff out? Hell, at least we have a "local" sort so I don't have to see all the unfettered liberalism
flavour of leftism I absolutely despise (the terminally online mini dictator one).
Libs thinking MLs are a strictly online phenomenon is a good reminder that they fundamentally don't think that people in the global south exist.
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.
Caring about things and snapping at people who act like apathetic smuglords whenever important things come up is toxic, and the more you care the more toxic it is. The correct way to engage online is to envelop oneself in irony and never engage with the content of other people's messages, only their tone. Good to know!
toxicity is when you bully proven bigots instead of treating them like royalty
fuck off back to
shitbag
I can foresee it, see the conditions and material circumstances that give rise to it. But I am powerless to stop the Great Galactic Jihad the Hexbears shall carry out in Dirt_Owls name under the banner of House Pig Poop Balls.

Participating is "brigading" the way defederation is "censorship", which is to say it's just not but a lot of people who want to stir up drama and play victim will pretend it is.
BRIGADING!
