I’m not sure I’ve seen any evidence of it existing though, is it just a Boogeyman, or so something that happened a while back? An in joke of some sort?

    The hexbear users are especially annoying as it seems to be a requirement for them that they embed the most annoying jpegs/gifs into their propaganda comments.

      I’ve always leaned left, and not in the “American Democrat” way. I’ve read Marx, Engels, Kropotkin, Luxemburg, etc. Not that I agree with them on everything, but they make good points.

      But every day I see tankies defend Russia just because it’s not the US, I feel like I’m moving more center just out of spite.

        Political movement out of spite is perfect thanks for that.

        I generally agree with the goals of a more communist society, but the inability of hexbear or lemmygrad users to consider any kind of incremental progress, and the inability to recognize any single solitary good thing to happen in a capitalist country is so annoying.

        How can I be interested in an ideology when every member is frothing at the mouth angry at anything that isn’t classical party-speak?

          Russia is not even pretending to be communist anymore. It’s a full blown corrupt capitalist oligarchy. But just because it’s not an US ally, they will defend it.

        Yeah it’s amazing how tone deaf some of them can be, and they don’t even realise when they’re doing the opposite of promoting their views
