I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point
Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down
I’m not trying to join their cult. I’m not feeling excluded from their cult. I’m saying their cult should not exist. It is a mixture of crazy people and Chinese propaganda, and it deserves to be stamped out.
Ah yea, everyone that has an opinion that isn’t mine is dangerous and deserves to be silenced. I totally agree. I think lemmy.world should refederate, and then defederate a second time, just to make sure they get the message.
How authoritarian
Not everyone who disagrees with me. Just extremists and morons. Tankies happen to be both.
REAL communists are cool. Hexbear is a pile of shit.
What do you consider a real Communist, if not people who read Communist Theory, advocate for Communism, and defend real movements towards Communism?
Not tankies.
Why do you, a self-professed liberal that has not read Communist Theory, get to pull the No-True-Scotsman card on Communists?
Pisses off tankies
The Falun Gong are, right now, kidnapping children and brainwashing them into being performers for their shitty dance troupe. These performers are not paid, cannot leave The Compound, and cannot contact their family. That’s a cult that the government should stamp out.
Hexbear is a bunch of people with a different opinion on the western world’s designated Enemy Governments. They’re not in the same ballpark, or even playing the same sport.
Lol who the fuck said anything about Falun Gong? That’s out of left field. You got a bug in your programming?
We were talking about cults, I brought them up as an example. I could have just as easily used Scientology.
i guess I don’t understand your point. Cults are bad, seems like we agree on that.
Right. I was saying that Hexbear isn’t a cult on the same level as the named examples, that it’s just some people with a different view of global politics than the norm, in response to a commenter who insisted that they were a dangerous cult that should be stamped out.
Ah. Well I disagree, I think they’re on an equal level of danger and detachment from reality and susceptibility of their members to abuse. Definitely a cult.
They’re not just people with different political views. They’re a cult that vigorously polices their orthodoxy. Dissent is not tolerated.
