I love how these company training questionnaires always claim that companies that are environmentally friendly are more profitable than ones that are not.

That’s why we solved climate change 10 years ago and limited warming to below 2°C right?

Well the place I was on previously can probably be pretty well described as “What if Hexbear was rabidly pro West in geopolitics?”, so it was already pretty leftist.

It wasn’t just the Nazi symbols though, it was also stuff like allowing Russians to be called Orcs, having a neocon splinter group fester away in a specific thread pretty much unmoderated (who later on all got banned for predictable reasons), posting pure propaganda and completely forgetting about the “reputable sources” rule, while ignoring all negative news from said “reputable sources”, etc.

Some users also got really mad about the “tankies” in certain threads. It’s always funny to me to see how close they really are to being “tankies” themselves. All it would take is having some skepticism over the Western narrative, and before you know it…

At this rate we need that Spongebob Pistachio scene as an emote.

Given that the electoral college typically favors the Republicans, that would have to be a pretty wacky result.

In other words, I really, really doubt that will happen.

For me the Ukraine war, and specifically the whitewashing of Nazi symbols was the breaking point where I could no longer accept the contradictions. I branched out and eventually found this place.

I think a lot of people who are aware of the contradictions have no other place to go. They don’t know that communities like this one even exist, so their only choices are following the far right narrative or the neoliberal narrative.
