My handlers are asking me to tell you not to link/tag the comment or post, to prevent accusations of brigading obviously, but there have been a ton that should be added as new taglines for the site.

The one that prompted this post:

I’m fine with interacting with people of different ideologies and cultures, but I feel like the hexbears mostly just want to harass us “tankies”.

Huh? Do you mean “liberals”? Hexbears are the ones liberals and leftcoms call “tankies”

From what I can tell, which so far is decidedly little, everyone is calling everyone tankies.

    I also hope it’s not narcissistic to post my own

    in relation to freedom in America vs freedom in “authoritarian countries”:

    people get arrested during strikes and protests all the time in America. of course, you would justify it as “actually they were breaking Clause 8 of Section 9A so it was against the law and they shouldn’t have done it!” without questioning if that law might possibly have been drawn up specifically to punish those people because the government couldn’t do it legally before. no, all laws in America come straight out of the Founding Father’s dick as a glorious bukkake for us all to share freely, while in tyrannical states like Russia and China, all laws are to be questioned and/or drawn up by the supreme ruler himself because he was really extra totalitarian that day

    never try idealism kids, it turns you into this

      Uhhh, let me be clear. I don’t think it counts as sexual attraction because I’d hate this IRL - I’m asexual and aromantic. For some reason thinking about cute, flustered, boys makes me smile. Best of both worlds really, I get to think gay thoughts and don’t have to bother with relationships.

      im so proud to have inspired this quote. all i did was post abt the current status of the Ukrainian counteroffensive. it was a long ass post and there was only ONE part that could remotely be interpreted as “pro-Russia”. it was heavily factual reporting from MoA in which mostly western sources are cited. that didnt stop it from turning into a >400 comment lib struggle session, reality is too real for them
