I don’t just mean outrage or regular rage, I mean shock that someone was to the left of “legal weed and free college but only for those that operate a successful business for 3 years in a disadvantaged community” top-cop takes.

I think federating took them by surprise, looking back. For about a week, those smug liberals were at a loss to even fathom what Hexbears were saying, and could only chant bullshit about how we’re Russian/Chinese bots.

Sure they still do that but they’ve slightly adapted to Hexbear presence.

    I’ll have to admit I was also knocked down by seeing liberal takes that are so outside of my frame of reference I didn’t know anyone thought that way.

    For example, there was this one user who had decided to die on the hill of getting rid of welfare because they felt people on it were just lazy.

      What the fuck is left to be “progressive” about to that liberal, then?

        I got the impression that they were English, in which case there’s a trend amongst liberals to be huge fans of austerity. Partly because that’s what Blair used to fund bailing out the banks during the financial crash, partly because there’s been a concerted push since then to propagandise everyone on benefits as lazy so that people are less bothered by further austerity.
