    I’ve been there, but I mostly just do it anyway. Fuck it, I said what I said. Half the time you don’t even get anything all that cutting, it’s just png salad. Every now and then, you’ll get a coherent response that isn’t a death threat, and those end up being good reads more often than not.

      Eh, more often than not their longer posts are just “actually Stalin/Putin/Mao/Kim dynasty/Trump good because <5 page essay>”

      Edit: also the classic “comparing Stalin to Hitler is a form of Holocaust denial” and in the same breath calling everyone not in their vatnik bubble a nazi or fascist lmao

        And of course, if you don’t address every single point in that 5 page essay, along with doing all of their required reading, then you’re clearly acting in bad faith and a shitlib and are now going to be dogpiled by 27 other Hexbear users.

        Nobody on Hexbear is pro Trump, unless they’re saying something like “this thing he said is pretty funny.” Also double genocide theory is a form of holocaust denial and one thats wormed its way into the average person’s beliefs about the Soviet Union and should be called out when its engaged in, whether that person is doing so knowingly or unknowingly.
