For the record, I still hope he dies!
And Biden!
ASAP!
Liberals can’t fathom people not having Trump Derangement Syndrome and being able to laugh at his goofy ass without popping a blood vessel.
Understanding that America’s institutions are unsalvageable unburdens us from being precious about their disgrace.
Which ironically is the the only thing giving him any legitimacy.
Instead of crying about him saying bloodbath for two days (but reiterating they won’t do anything to beat him electorally) he’s gotten days of free press and he gets to act like a tough guy.
If the universal response had been “what’re you going to do get your supporters to smear shit on the wall then go home while you watch it on tv?” They’d actually put him on the backfoot.
I hope he dies, but it will be a bittersweet day for content-brains like ourselves.
Oh come on the conspiracy theories about him actually being alive and hanging out with his best friend Tupac are going to be hilarious.
Chuds are gonna post pictures of 90 year old women with perms from behind with captions like “still hiding in plain site, trust the plan”
You don’t wanna watch a dozen Maga dudes struggle to disinter him to prove he’s not dead and accidently flop his rotting corpse with a perfectly intact toupee out on camera?
Not to mention the various Trump religions that will definitely form in the wake of his death, shit’s gonna be weird
Liberals need him to exist because without him they’d look like feral demons who are incapable of doing anything apart from murdering anyone
Turns out “I’m not trump” is less of an effective sales pitch if the other person also isn’t Trump and that’s literally all they have to run on.
When liberals stick their fingers in this beehive is when you folks are at your absolute finest. Federation has been awesome. I know not everyone likes it and I know arguments online aren’t THAT important but there is such a clear difference between sides when the Hexbear posting batallions engage with the liberal interlocutors.
I remember reading someone somewhere say years ago that to the extent debating online means anything it is for the people reading the exchange and not so much the parties debating. The lurkers if you will. Well I am a lifelong lurker because I think I recognized before I had the vocabulary that a lot of posting on social media ultimately amounts to alienation from creative labor. The feeling of bleakness from that and a sort of shame about the idea of trying to garner attention towards myself have kept me from ever being a committed poster.
This space has been the only time I have ever felt like it’s really worth being a part of this.
The way in which you folks have honed your rhetorical edges against each other and practice libs in the dunk tank really shows. Those muscles are strong and they hate that to outside observers you are almost always the more cogent and coherent side.
But the absurdity and humor are even more potent weapons because it breaks the tension and gives people room to examine preconceived notions. There is a degree to which inspiring a laugh is almost like a concession of a point. They cannot stand that we’re more factually grounded AND funnier!
All this is a long winded way of saying that they cannot stand that you folks are funnier, more grounded, and have way better emojis.
Never log off Hexbear o7
4chan used to be afraid of CTH. Glad to see we’re carrying on that tradition here.
CW: Slurs, 4chan
Never got to see those threads but was lucky enough to lurk on the main sub during chapos prime time, truly a time to be alive.
I’ve seen this so many times and yet, every time I read it its like the first time all over.
“They don’t even get mad, they just waste your time and degrade you”

lol I never thought of it like a training ground. It just feels good to put my frustration into words and/or read the dunk of someone who already put in that work.
As much as I like this, I do understand why someone replied to you with a PPB due to the unfortunate reality:
For every one of us who have studied the posting blade, there are two vulnerable comrades who will be subjected to libs tearing the mask off so fast they scalp themselves in their fervour to bully our trans, queer and enby posters to death.
It fucking sucks, but we can’t trust them (libs) to be better and we can’t sacrifice our comrades for privileged posting enjoyment
They’re completely out of their element. Liberals are so mad that it’s not Reddit and there’s no mod looking over their shoulder to delete our posts to protect their feelings when we dump a massive 7 paragraph essay on them shredding every stupid belief they have and have been allowed to repeat unrestricted for years on Reddit.
What annoys me is not libs disliking us, or disagreeing with us about who the true LEFTIST is, or crying because they got banned.
It’s just the sheer, utter disinformation where it’s objectively demonstrable that they just make up shit about us and then all believe it. Still in .world, despite being corrected many times, the majority of users will say Hexbears did mass downvoting, when that’s literally impossible.
They’ll say we love Putin, and Trump. And that we’re all fascists - even if you believed dumbdumb horseshoe theory, a fair portion of us aren’t even close to authoritarian. That we’re largely Chinese shills and bots. That we deliberately organise RAIDS on other instances and aren’t just a big community group who like to share our personal experiences on other threads and we like to come to each other’s aid. That we’re a place of HATE when this place, of all sizeable internet communities, has one of the biggest cultures of love and mutual aid I’ve ever seen.
I get the political disagreements. I get the disagreement on conversational tone. What I don’t get is the sheer determination to not even understand us in the slightest way, to take the most random bullshit, even when it is factually impossible, and take it at face value; all just so they don’t have to acknowledge us as real people. That’s what upsets me.
Now I made myself sad >:( I love y’all comrades

Reminded of how Hitler had documents forged implicating his enemies prior to the night of the long knives, and then getting angrier and angrier when he read them.
That’s hilarious, can you point me at an article about it? I’m being genuine, I can’t find one and I really want to read more about it.
Is it not possible for hexbears to downvote on federated servers? I knew it was disabled on local comms.
Even viewing posts from other instances through Hexbear (for instance https://hexbear.net/post/2105999) will have the downvote button disabled. On the flipside downvoting Hexbear posts from other instances does nothing, we don’t see nor count downvotes. So if a comment gets hit by libs and sits at 10 upvotes 50 downvotes, we would just see that as +10.
