I felt the need to share something personal about myself to one of the most welcoming, great communities I've ever had the honor to call myself a part of. You can make posts lamenting my radicalisation all you want, but seriously that shit is none of your business and the fact that you decided to deride me for being "tricked" or something makes me really mad. Do you think some internet strangers can automatically re-write 10 years of the US school system's imprint on my brain? The people on hexbear were everything the people on your instance claimed to be and more, these "genocidal tankies" showed patience, compassion, and empathy to me, and you think you can just condesendingly harp on about how i've been brainwashed? seeing hexbear made me decide to take a second look at my worldview, and really research who i was, what i believed, and what i stood for. If you think you can reduce that to me being brainwashed, you can go to hell.

fuck you and never post about me again.

(what community do i post this to? cth should be fine right? just delete it and dm me if i have to move it :P )

libs when someone breaks the liberal brainwashing: "you've been brainwashed! you aren't saying all the stuff we learned in school and on tv and from the government!!! do you even pledge allegiance to the flag!?!"

Hey i didnt see your other post but im glad that your feeling welcomed in the hexbear space. I personally block the .world instance cuz i just find them annoying lol. Don't let them get under your skin too much its what they want is to cause problems. Theyll call us radicals all day, but in reality all us "tankies" want is to end imperialism, and exploitation. If thats radical then i dont want to be moderate lol.

Their community is heavily botted. World and Shhhhh itjustworks brag about the performance of their hardware and their ability to serve as a host for transplanted Reddit communities (which are heavily botted).

Their consternation should be taken as encouragement. It is hilariously easy to get under their skin. Go look at my modlog 😎
