I remember the day this dropped and how much fun we all had. Good times!

For the trip down memory lane https://hexbear.net/post/261782 It's a fun thread with some great comments

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (5 children)

Yo that's really interesting...

Think my "all rich people are lizards and I can prove it if you let me behead them all" thesis will receive the same warm welcome?

I can't imagine why not, it's the same calibre of academic research, political literacy and critical analysis.

Hexbears be like "Kill everyone with more than three real in their pocket" duck-dance

Hexbear doesn't even argue for the death penalty for Puyi, who allied with Nazi Germany, but argue for rehabilitation and education, as to follow critically Mao Zedong thought. 🧹

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Haha yeah totally, I definitely would never do that. side-eye-1 side-eye-2

kitty-cri-screm MOM I SAW HEXBEAR POSTING VIOLENT/AGGRESSIVE DISCOURSE. MOMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Also I'm a bit sad that they just scrape our shit and put it through an algorithm. I sort of wish we had (more) FBI wreckers and some schmuck who has to go through my posts to see the brilliance that I bring to this place

[–] [email protected] 35 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

this is just what gets admitted publicly. the fact that we’re on this guy’s radar means we’re probably on a lot of others too lol

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Yeah, anyone who’s done work lurking on actual extremist forums (antifascist doxxing, monitoring harassment campaigns, etc) knows to keep their mouth shut lest they poke the hornets’ nest. This place worries me a lot less than fash sites in terms of someone swatting my house but still.

I'm sure a couple of the more controversial early posters were feds sent to prevent co-ordination during the last wave of radicalism, not out of fedjacketing anyone specific (because most bad takes are just honestly bad takes) but purely on statistical chance.

I do want to give a shout out to our intelligence agency friends. who no doubt have to read a lot more theory than most of us do! Wonder how many get radicalised.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 year ago

Wonder how many get radicalised.

One of the biggest problems they had with spying on Cuba was that their agents would sympathise and radicalise.

This sucks, Extreme Left is stuck at 24 and we need to get past 25 to have "high violence." We're also a little behind reddit-logo in total posts (not reddit-logo but like the other reddit-logo) so we gotta post harder if we wanna knock 'em down a notch (praxis)

separate reports regarding the tracking of trends related to left-wing extremism, public-health (mis)information, and religion forums are in development.

Looking forward to the upcoming Hexbear review

Yo did anyone watch the last UFC card? God those guys fucked each other up. I fuckin love when they're punching and kicking each other. I have so much fun seeing a guy get choked unconscious because they're so tough they don't even tap. When it gets bloody that's so exciting because it means it a super hardcore fight where the violence is more important than the discomfort. I wonder if Izzy is going to get the title back - he'll need to do something about Strickland's aggression.

Ay Richard Rogers you're missing a bunch of sites. If you want more sites to add to your list PM me. This is very incomplete.

Is this from the same "as leftist as they come, buuuuuuuuut" poster that kept saying how "combative" Hexbears were while also calling Hexbears "insane" and other ableist concern trolling shit (including some weird edgy joke about head injuries and how Hexbears must all have head injuries) because mentally ill people bad and contemptible amirite so-true

An academic who scrapes various websites, categorizes them based on political leanings, and then does sentiment analysis on them. If I remember correctly, he releases new data each month.
