  • Their time in isolation from when reddit banned chapo did them no favors. When it was banned it was a flavor of radicalism that was tolerable.

    They’ve devolved into something much worse, in the style of the red guard in China killing avowed communists for not being communist enough, and thinking it’s a good thing. They’re just screaming into the void making all leftists look unreasonable and bad, and wondering why no one can stand them.

    I’ve yet to have an interaction with someone from hexbear post reddit exodus where I thought to myself, “you know I bet they’re pretty chill in real life.”



  • It really is surprisingly effective. So few people actually contact their legislators.

    I set up a harassment campaign and got a few hundred people to contact a state legislator whose committee was holding up legalizing weed in my state and a few months later it was legalized. Agitate. Make a difference. Protesting doesn’t do shit, get all the people there to call their representatives and senate members - especially for state and local stuff, and you might actually get something changed. Or even better, send a letter.
