I saw a post that talked about racism towards people and when I talked about it the response I got was very heated and a person even called lemmy.world a community of 'hitlerites'

I have been around for a week or so and this is my first time seeing such explicit vulgar reaction towards another community, is this a one-off or should I block hexbear?

Hell yeah Tankie Triad sounds badass.

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 45 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Hexbear, lemmygrad and (in great part) lemmy.ml are tankie instances.

They basically deny any crimes of Stalin, Mao etc…

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 66 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

That's obviously not true, we're all ready to admit Stalin made the grievous error of stopping at Berlin.

[–] regul@hexbear.net 44 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I'll take the bold stance that the sparrow eradication campaign was a big miss from Mao.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 45 points 2 weeks ago

I mean, as long as we're talking genuine criticisms, there's a pretty long list. Mao wasn't personally responsible for everything that happened in the Cultural Revolution but it was a huge mess, there may have been some good intentions at its core but the old 70% correct 30% mistakes addage is well known for a reason. I'm probably less critical of Stalin than Mao but Stalin relocated ethnic groups, trusted FDR and Churchill way too much, and did a pretty bad job of figuring out succession (as unexpected as his death was).

Problem with that line is that you'd have to actually do crimes to deny they exist

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 31 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Stalin robbed a bank which is a crime and pretty dope

Few people know it but the Sino-Soviet split was caused by an early puchcard-based version of Hexbear.

I love this image. Something that always confused me is that they are communist, but support russia? An extremely far right government?

George Bush you will burn in hell for no child left behind

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 52 points 2 weeks ago (6 children)

When have we ever supported modern Russia lmao

[–] Redcuban1959@hexbear.net 42 points 2 weeks ago

You see, if you don't support Z man's regime, you are against wholesome Ukraine and you support ebil dictator Putler.

[–] FlakesBongler@hexbear.net 40 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I guess not supporting Ukraine is supporting Russia

You know, because every situation is a dichotomy

Hey but we look at the images of Ukrainian Nazis wearing every hate symbol under the sun and the sun itself, when a truly enlightened democracy enjoyer should do the right thing in that situation and simply cover their eyes and ears.

wonder who trademarked the far left

[–] BodyBySisyphus@hexbear.net 31 points 2 weeks ago

It's The Far Left among those who "are as left as they come," so of course they feel the need to defend The Brand from the actual far left.

That would be neoliberals lol. Constantly using bad information and unscientific analyses to show that immiserating 99% of the population is actually the best we can do.

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 35 points 1 week ago

Disregarding the fact that the tankies were right about Vietnam, Afghanistan, Iraq, Nicaragua, Libya, Syria, Indonesia, Bolivia, Kuwait, Burma, [the list goes on]

But the tankies are definitively wrong, because I refuse to entertain the thought that they could be right!

TLDR: they are right-wingers pretending to be left wing

I would block hexbear. I’ve done it server-wide. They are mostly very loud trolls pretending to be communists. Some could be actual communists, but I don’t buy anyone actually wanting to be in such a toxic environment and believe what they claim to believe.

lol

To add to your comment: Blocking the instance at user level is pointless, it only blocks their posts,not their users, so you still have to deal with their bullshit and they post their propaganda at every instance that tolerates them so it makes its way to those who blocked it anyway. The only solution is to defederate.

What propaganda? bear propaganda?

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 44 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Ask any of em why they think any right winger would pretend to be left wing and you'll see fantastic displays of mental gymnastics.

These types of threads will always have someone point out that Hexbear is born from r/CTH, which was banned for "extremism".

They don't go into detail what the extremism was.

Your username reads like someone making fun of trans people. My guess is you’re transphobic and actively discouraged people from supporting Biden because you wanted Trump to win.

This is why I don't go out on Lemmy all that often.

Edit: from the same user

If you think Hexbear is trans-friendly, then you’re transphobic.

Doing transphobia to own the tankies

I can’t help but wonder if tankies are the political equivalent of flat-earthers. I should probably ask that on NSQ some time, when I can figure out a way of asking that won’t get me banned.

it's the other way around. 'we live in a democracy because i can drive across state borders and buy things' is equivalent to saying the Earth is flat because you can see the city over the horizon.

Wild take but Hexbear is the Trans people of instances.

Chuds: YOU ARE THE DEVIL - Trans people: We're literally just vibin'

Other Instances: YOU ARE THE DEVIL - Us: We're literally just vibin'
