    throwing a pipe bomb into an art contest

    incredibly good and based

    This is what happens when you become consumed by hatred. The most insane statements seem entirely reasonable to them, because they are blinded by fear and hate.

    @[email protected] I don’t think your post worked out too well 🐔

    also I want to point out the amazing differences between these communities. See, you’re very much, unapologetically, a tankie, but you’re fully allowed to comment and even engage in this community despite your farming and attempted framing that this community is extremist.

    Now, if we were to do the same, we’d be defederated. Which we were!

    Perhaps you should use the liberty this community has to actually ask for our opinions as opposed to fishing for responses. You’ll find we’re a very diverse community with many different opinions, some are even communists.

      I wouldn’t be fishing here if I wasn’t getting bites, and I wouldn’t have thought to dip my hook in the water if I hadn’t seen abundant signs of good fishing.

        I have, and I was, and no, I got perma’d. Four different users also attempted to dox me. I know since I was in their private chatrooms during the time. Seeing them get frustrated when they couldn’t do it was very entertaining. They even tried image meta-data, the poor things

        And my mask? I don’t have a mask. I’m very honest with my views and am willing to share them with anyone who wishes to know.

          Can people with views that differ my own have come to those views in an honest and reasoned fashion, even if I think they’re flawed?

          Nah, they’re definitely just bad faith fascists hiding their “power level”.

          Scary easy to see how easy you end up with thought police when people that think like this hold power.

            why would you? you agree with them lol. try to say that stalin was a disaster for communism and his dictatorship killed it, then you’ll be in trouble

              I have no way of knowing if that’s accurate, nor to i have any way of knowing what it was that got you perma’d.

              try to say that stalin was a disaster for communism and his dictatorship killed it, then you’ll be in trouble

              I probably wouldn’t say that, because the US defeated communism (according to their own accounting). I would tread lightly around anything I may not agree with them on, but I do happen to agree with them on a lot. At least most of them. Half of them. Maybe slightly less than a majority of them.

              What can I say, they aren’t a monolith.

          Maybe? You should go and try provoking them, see if they still treat you with civility.

          edit: goat is right, I was using sarcasm and did not indicate that clearly. I do not support going there to cause trouble, but you are absolutely allowed to go there and behave.

            I’ve seen how they behave on other instances, no way will they be polite and courteous when someone disagrees with them on home turf.

              You just gotta know which things you disagree on, and why they might strongly disagree with you, and not just say “fuck it, imma blast off”.

              If you go in wanting to make a point then yea. They will not be courteous.

    That is psychotic. They recognize it is wrong, too. They would be screeching in apoplectic rage if a radical opposed to their speech were talking about pipe bombing some sort of IRL Hexbear meme reposting event.

      They only say it because they’re edgy. They are actually very, very passive, i mean they have to put trigger warnings for adult content–If they can’t handle seeing violence, they aren’t going to do any of it

        not to shit on content warnings because I appreciate that different people have different things that can be very upsetting to them, but hexbear literally requires warnings on photos of ice cream. or cooked food that could possibly include an animal product even if you can’t directly see it or tell the difference. I’m not joking or exaggerating, this caused quite a stir when the admins implemented that policy.

    this type of shit is part of what drove me away from hexbear (yeah I know it’s embarrassing). many of them have the opinion that being a dick is worthy of corporal or capital punishment. is it dickish to intentionally trash on another culture’s beliefs? probably yeah. but does it justify murder? fucking of course not!
