yes, hexbear is currently doing a donation drive to support and evacuate people in Gaza

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

yeah it reads like you were saying $113 billon divided by 400 million people = $1 million each lol

you seemed to double down on your math error instead of investigating and correcting it. It just looks silly unless there was a a joke I missed.

if libs saw this they would post this to a tankiejerk comm saying “Hexbear can’t math. Explains why they like communism 100 billion dead” etc. I don’t wanna give them easy Ws.

Math is also theory. pls self-crit.

The DPP (pro-Independence party) polling seems to differ a bit from National Chengchi University’s yearly poll where “maintain status quo indefinitely/decide later” were the two most popular selections.

lemmitors: “if you’re not anti-MIC at 15 you have no heart, but if you’re not pro-MIC at 25 you have no brain”

I wouldn’t be surprised if you start to get bad faith actors signing up to your instance to intentionally wreck your reputation.

Other users have linked to good resources, but one thing I’d like to comment on is that people should be wary of overusing thought-terminating epithets. Communists also have this problem to some extent when they flippantly throw out the “fascist” label, but coming into the wider fediverse after the redditpocalypse, I’ve seen too many “discussions” that are essentially “authoritarian totalitarian fascist genocidal dictatorship upvotes to the left pls” which is an extremely reddit type of discourse that serves to shut down discussion before it even begins (they’re bad bad bad bad nothing to talk about).

I’m not accusing you of this because you’ve made a good faith effort to seek out constructive engagement. In most other cases though, I wish more people would investigate these claims like how you’re doing instead of salad tossing adjectives and relying purely on intuition and cultural conditioning.

idk if “supporting Russia” is the best way to phrase it. Bearing in mind that Putin is himself a reactionary anticommunist, the projects that the Russian state engages in should be examined critically as ways that the semi/periphery can better position themselves against antagonism by core countries with the caveat that these relationships can also potentially be used to undermine popular people’s struggles i.e. Wagner mercs being invited to assist against principled uprisings.

starting with Mo Bamba is apparently not a good strat

Dude was already borderline third stringer. This might be it for him.
