  • Screw em, vote your conscience. I just don't get the whole "voter shaming" thing that the Democrats keep relying on.

    Earlier on in my cringe teenage years (before I knew better) I was a libertarian guy. Libertarians seemed to be the only ones in the early 2000s who were against the Iraq War and were saying to cool it on the culture war BS. Republicans in my circle never once tried to guilt me into voting Republican.

    It's like some sort of deeply seated insecurity that Democrats have where they feel like they literally need everyone to validate them.



  • Imagine thinking leftist infighting is a new thing. 😂 And it's a good thing; lefties argue because they give a damn and really, really want substantive change.

    Hexbear has always been a place to hang out with like-minded comrades and feel a little better knowing you're not alone. Posting is not going to overthrow the current system. This is the modern-day Pravda that hopefully will push people towards praxis.














  • Hot take: the problem isn't that some workers earn too much, it's that every other worker is compensated too little. Relations to the means of production, folks!

    For sports/entertainment in particular, bear in mind that the vast, vast majority of workers in these jobs have - maybe - an actual 5-15 year career at most, and then then then they're no longer considered of value to capital.




  • 🧱 A spectre is haunting Lemmy, and it looks suspiciously like PIGPOOPBALLS

    For real though, I have faith in our mod team and community that if things get yikes, it'll get reigned in in short order. It would be nice to have greater access to niche hobby comms, and be pretty cool to get other good faith leftie discussion going on. No need to be so insular. Hexbear started as a community on reddit-logo , lol and somehow still managed to be a cool place to post. Don't get what all the fear is about that federation will somehow ruin things.
