You are acting condescending right now, assuming I can't possibly have valid opinions about hexbear based on anything else I might have seen. You've decided my entire opinion has to be based on this and the previous thread, I guess because I used a vague phrase instead of detailing all the ways different individual hexbear users can be condescending and not worth getting invloved talking to. I very much regret getting involved in this part of the conversation too, but that is another thing hexbear users often do, make wild accusations about people that want to disengage to bait them back in to defend themselves.
I'm also not required to only judge based on how people treat me directly! Seeing how people treat other people is indicative.
I'm certain I said something wrong by mistake in this that you can dig into and write a whole essay about how it makes me the worst lib in the world but
I'm only gunna bother with one more comment here, @[email protected] and @[email protected] sorry you don't get responses, I'm fuckin tired and done with people. Anyone who comments at me about this shit after this comment I'm just going to ignore and block.
on further thought, I'll just add that I think we're both defending ourselves and then taking each others' defenses as attacks to defend against, and it's a vicious cycle.
I still feel hurt over db0's two posts tbh. It's not even the meme, it's the witch-hunt feeling of that meme being broadcast across all of lemmy to a receptive audience we cannot talk to.
I'm sorry I stressed you out and put you on the defensive. I actually felt the same way. I don't think either of us intended it. From one communist to another, I hope there are no lasting hard feelings.
This I feel is why many of us jumped on the original meme in the first place.
We are so close to being vulnerable to a new wave of McCarthyism and not just the "tankies". It is already starting with people getting fired or prosecuted for supporting Palestine.
This shit is fucking dangerous and the people engaging in it don't understand the stakes.
our only defense is not getting divided, which is why this stuff scares me, seeing how easy it is.
I'm optimistic though, I think the red scare stuff is harder in real life, when people are in a real situation with other real people instead of alone at a screen.
Oh yeah this is mostly terminally online bullshit (for now) but it's still dangerous.
