They say how deranged it is to stand for more political causes than legal weed and free college. 
They say how unhinged it is to want to slow, halt, and maybe even reverse the ongoing environmental damage to the only inhabitable planet that people living today will ever know.
They say it is tankie to actually want to improve society somewhat instead of feeling smugly satisfied that the way things are now are the best/only way they can possibly be.
They say it is immature it is to seek political agency and political participation beyond some election ritual every few years.
They say how insane it is to see some things as better or worse than other things instead of seeing political ideologies as interchangeable buffet offerings to ladle onto some personalized "to each their own" plate of whimsical and inconsequential consumer choice, with the exception of any choices made that are more left than Bernie Sanders. Such choices are only made by Russian/Chinese bots, and thusly forbidden from the buffet table, but fascist concepts and goals are like naughty and tempting desserts to consider and add at their leisure.
It's unlike the adults in the room to have strong feelings, or any feelings at all, for anything other than specifically approved purposes, one of those purposes being condescending contempt for others that have unsanctioned feelings.
I could go on, but to summarize, when some federated Lemmyverse liberal says "you're from Hexbear," the mask has just come off and what comes after that, and probably what came before it, can be summarized as scratched-to-unscratched liberalism from obscenely privileged and arrogant status quo warriors coming to the rhetorical defense of hierarchy and empire.
Every lie they tell about us reinforces to me that I'm on the correct side. If they have to make shit up about us that is blatantly false, then they have nothing real to incriminate us with.
Compare that to us, we don't have to make stuff up about our enemies. They incriminate themselves with their lies and evil deeds. Take Israel for example, all you have to do is look at the history of the area to know they're an apartheid ethnostate. We don't have to lie, the truth is right there.
I noticed you didn't condemn the 100M people that communism murdered in your statement, and I found that odd: A thread.
I'm like Piccolo with the training weights on.
Nah but actually I have a hexbear account, I just use this one because it's logged in. Now that the shittier instances defederated from lemmygrad as well I find both lemmygrad and hexbear to be essentially the same. I do admit to not understanding the giant meme/emote images over here all of the time. I chalk it up to "zoomershit"

It's like some kind of bug in the code because all our emotes look normal sized but get blown up in size outside of hexbear
Ok, I can't tell if this is serious or not, but it's pretty funny either way. I always just assumed it was some sort of inside-joke trolling campaign.
Hexbearians have been betrayed by technology. If everyone else believed(s) that the emotes are massive on purpose as a troll or joke or whatever thing, maybe this contributed to the disproportionate hate? I dunno. It's kinda funny though.
Oh no I'm serious, it's something we didn't learn about during the bug tests pre-federation, so when we joined everyone else we behaved like we usually do with our emoji-speak
and unknowingly were absolutely hogging up screen space with our emotes that uncompress in other instances.It's still incredibly if unintentionally funny though
I had to swipe my thumb up four times to scroll past just your images here. This is quickly approaching terror campaign levels.
The real conspiracy is how hexbears are trying to give all lemmy users arthritis in their thumbs from the sheer power of our emotes
Sorry, I don't speak barbarian

The Adults In The Room who Make The Hard Decisions and Get Shit Done know that attempting to improve society somewhat is naive at best and such attempts are only done by (insert ableist insults here) that are probably hypocrites and actually just want to nuke a stadium or kill a bunch of random people with dragons or something.
Clearly a part of it is them conflating criticism of NATO with uncritical, unwavering support for literally everything Russia and China does. Their brains shut off when confronted with the fact that the real world is more complex than Marvel movies.
They only like to talk about "complexity" when they want to blur away atrocities done by their favorite geopolitical powers.
Great point. Every consideration and possibility and rationale must be given to understand the bad deed that occurred at the hands of the "good guys" (implicitly they're asking "And was it really so bad that all those brown people or Slavs died, if we get down to it?"). This reasoning is short-circuited when discussing the "bad guys."

This might be the most the most personally infuriating part of mainstream lib ideology to me. This is why i hate the political compass and its enjoyers so much. Your politics is your own unique little dot based on nothing but what's inside your own special little lib head.
Politcal theory? History? Context? You don't need any of that. Hundreds of years of intellectual work and political struggle aren't important enough to even glance at. All you need are your special lib brain thoughts.
Insisting that words like liberalism or socialism have actual meanings based on work by political theorists and their real world implementation is just silly elitism. Don't you know words meanings change? Probably not you ignorant tankie. Words mean what I, the main character of the world say they mean.
my face melts as i write this"Socially liberal, fiscally conservative" was a highly popular
meme promoted and spread by propaganda such as South Park for decades that takes advantage of the superficial appeal of individualist consumer choice to make people say "how do I get the most treats (such as socially liberal weed) while also getting even more treats (fiscally conservative kickbacks for their dad's boat dealership)?"
now that's what I want to see
"youre from muh heckin hexbearino!!!!"
just like in my PRESTIGE treaterinos!
