the problem with hexbear is the same handful of users that have made it their hobby to complain incessantly about hexbear all over the fediverse

the most present politician in congress

cry harder fash

The majority of that age range still considers China an enemy, but a tiny fraction of ambivalent onlookers out of an overwhelming majority of a reflexively anti-China populace is enough for the Economist to dedicate an article to a fucking YouGov poll.

It’s just another pearl-clutching “what’s wrong with today’s youths” headline to panic the elderly while flattering compliant millennials/zoomers for being one of the few (despite still being the majority!) “good ones” that march goose-step with consensus Western political thought.

🤓 elitism

Interview snippet for the incredulous deboonkers

Some of the arguments/memes I’m seen there are been shared by conservatives, using the same talking points

such as…? People can’t respond if you keep being vague about it.

objectively the moderate wing

Dude, kill the redditor in your head. This is my only fediverse account and by “deflecting again” I mean there’s a clear pattern of behavior in this thread that you avoid the topic altogether when you get called out on anything.

What do you mean “no use in 4 months”? Are you just used to lying at this point, hoping the people upvoting you won’t investigate your claims? My account is only 2 months old and I post like every other day. You’re probably just blocking or defederated from the instances I’m active in.

But this has nothing to do with the fact that you call yourself a socialist without knowing what materialism is.

You’re deflecting again. You said in another comment “they say they are communists yet they engage in materialism.” You could just own up and say that you don’t know what you’re talking about.

So like, do you understand what materialism means in socialist philosophy? It’s clear by the way you’ve used the word in this thread that you think it just means “likes having stuff.”

How do you run around calling yourself a socialist when you don’t even know what historical and dialectical materialism are?

Recycle! Write to your senator! Vote!

couldn’t help to find Hitler unlikable

I think you meant, to quote Orwell himself:

I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Hitler.

More on the list in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orwell's_list

There is a notable and obvious overlap in Orwell’s notebook between many of 1940s London’s prominent gay, Jewish and anti-colonial public figures and the accused “cryptos.” Orwell’s bigoted commentaries fill his suspects notebook. Jews are clearly labeled (“Polish Jew,” “English Jew,” “Jewess”) whilst others were mislabeled (“Charlie Chaplin — Jewish?”). The African-American bass singer and future civil rights activist Paul Robeson finds himself in Orwell’s list with the note “very anti-white,” whilst the half-Jewish poet Stephen Spender is damned as a “sentimental sympathiser… tendency towards homosexuality.”

It’ll always be funny that the dude who wrote something like 1984 was such an eager proto-McCarthyite snitch for the propaganda unit of the British Foreign Office.

I mean, no one’s gonna post a 30 page paper from a social science journal in the memes comm.

If you’d like a more nuanced discussion, you’re welcome to read The Years of Hunger: Soviet Agriculture, 1931–1933 by Davies and Wheatcroft (arguably the most detailed scholarly study and account of the Soviet Famine) and discuss it with the site on the literature or askchapo comms.
