left leaning
only liberals talk like this
EDIT: lol. a landlord
By left-leaning they mean leaning 2° left of total fascism
“I think that trans people shouldn’t be genocided. I think it’s safe to say that I’m very left leaning!”
We saw this during the first years of the ongoing Covid pandemic. The liberals were performatively supporting efforts to mitigate the harm done, but wanted to return to brunch when the praise stopped rolling in for their performative gestures.
Anyone who openly identifies as “a leftist”, “extremely progressive” or “socialist leaning”, or any other variation of some mealy-mouthed description gets all of my skepticism and disdain, especially when these people always do it to insist upon themselves.
When tell people that I’m a Marxist it’s because it’s relevant to the discussion (e.g. when discussing theory) or that I’m an ML when it’s a matter of stating my political biases or using shorthand to skip over describing that I adhere to dialectical materialism etc., or that I’m a communist if someone accuses me of being a liberal. That sort of thing.
But when people hedge their statements or they feel the need to qualify what they’re about to say by asserting their political identity, I look on it with about the same enthusiasm as a statement that opens with “I’m not racist but…”
At least have the guts to say “I’m an anarchist” or “I’m a communist” or plain old “I’m a liberal” ffs.
It’s also worth noting that the pearl-clutching anti-“tankie” left often spends time in their echo chambers lamenting the fact that the evil MLs have sullied the good name of socialism amongst the unwashed masses (completely whitewashing the ongoing history of McCarthism and liberal indoctrination btw - and in fact I’d argue that this is an example of internalising this), and how they either must abandon those terms or they must redouble their efforts to exclude MLs from their precious definitions.
I mean, to be honest the majority of MLs I’ve come across have a very lukewarm attitude towards identifying as a socialist at the best of times. The idea that MLs need to be forcibly excluded from the label of socialist is largely a non-issue because they already avoid the term in most situations and saying this stuff just serves as in-group reaffirmation and grandiose statements of intent from the Anti-Praxis Aktion gang.
“MLs are the ones who are responsible for anti-communist sentiment in the US! We should all concede ground to liberal indoctrination and use a more palatable term which is more amenable to liberals to describe our political identities with!! Tankies bad!!! Updoots to the left.”
I am as leftist as they come,
but hexchan ain’t helping either
These people so goddamn precious it’s unbelievable
“Hexbear were mean to me one time because I was transphobic so now I will continually compare them to sites that are full of hate, slurs, and child pornography!”
What is hexbear about? I heard its like exploding heads but from my experience yall are just leftists.
We’re a non-sectarian leftist shitposting instance, steeped in seven layers of irony.
Meaning we’re Xi’s paid propagandists for the CPC and the inner circle of Putin’s cult of personality.
We don’t have a downvote button so we’re duty bound to respond to annoying takes by being more annoying.
Hexbear is a left unity lemmy which existed for three years in isolation and is not accepting transphobia, ableism and other things. This makes us not really liked by (white) libs who feel superior to others while sending their kids into private schools and who like to be ableist.
We also don’t care much for tone policing. Some people don’t get that it matters why you throw milk shakes at people
We are also a book club for Trans Liberation, The Jakarta Method, The Shock Doctrine, How to be an anti racist, Read Settlers, What is to be done or State and Revolution, etc. highly recommend the second one.
We also love our trans comrades 🏳️⚧️
I’m hex-san to you, thank you very much.
Hex-sama.
Hex-sama is my father. Please, call me Hex-sensei.

I really don’t fucking understand why some people post shit in a public space and act so taken aback when people don’t agree. Like, why the hell are you even posting this shit if you don’t want to open it up to discourse? Just talk to yourself in a mirror if you’re so terrified of someone thinking you’re a complete dullard.
Liberals are used to being completely unopposed
Yeah, it’d be like if one of us posted something pro-communist on a mainstream
sub expecting not to get a stream of attacks or instantly banned.
Ahh yes, the cuddly pioneering era of
where one of the biggest subs was barely veiled child p*rn.Reposting from the other thread
ConfuzedAZ: “I’m a pretty left leaning person”
Also ConfuzedAZ:
of course theyre a landlord“im a pretty left leaning person but i also want to leech off peoples wages and drive up the price of housing”
oh, how magnanimous of you, barely making a profit. YOU ARE GETTING SOMEONE ELSE TO PAY FOR YOUR HOUSE. it’s all profit since it all goes to equity in the houses, maintenance, or straight to their pocket. these scumbags will say anything to make themselves feel better when they know they are despicable
i tied the future of my kids to these houses, have you thought about that huh? every house you take from me you’re taking from the tiny toddler hands that i personally put them in, stop being so mean :(
(please ignore the future of those tenants’ kids and how they’ll be hundreds of thousands dollars poorer because I took it from them)
Value of assets doubled, mortgage is paid by tenants
a bare minimum profit
YOU GET TO KEEP THE HOUSE MOTHERFUCKER. How the hell is “a free house in 30 years” not a shit load of profit? Dingus doesn’t even do his own maintenance.
Doesn’t even do their own landlording, they pay a property management company to do the villainy for them (pay them out of their tenants’ rent checks, that is)
Literally making money for doing nothing
A free house + 200% its purchase value in appreciation so far
400k/house in 15 years? Frankly the only way to not be making profit is to actively be paying their tenants for keeping the place clean.
US housing price index goes brrrrrr
Hexchan was here first. Fuck off liberals.
Hitler posting on lemmy.world: “Vell, I consider myself pretty far left, but diese giftigen Tankies von Hexbear”
“I am completely apolitical, also I fucking hate tankies.”
Hexchan
HEXCHAN
lmao the pearl-clutching is so hilarious.
THE RUDE LITTLE HEXBEARS HAVE POINTED AT ME AND CALLED ME A
Ah Hex-kun
What are you doing, hex-senpai?
I was around on Reddit a long time ago. The last couple of years I had so many posts removed because a bot decided I had used a bad keyword, or my post wasn’t properly formatted, or something. It was very strange. At some point people just stopped having anything new or interesting to say, and actually posting anything became more and more restrictive.
I had posts removed because i didnt have enough karma -_-
Don’t forget the subs you have to do a fucking homework assignment for before you can post.
Yea got banned from politics for not being civil after I called somebody a fucking moron and from worldnews for disinformation for saying I thought it was bad that we were arming self avowed nazis even if theybwere fighting russians.
Then couldn’t remember my log in to that account when they got rid of third party apps and now the new account I made gets banned within 72 hours for “ban evasion” when I acvidently post a comment on one of a dozen subreddits without checking which sub it is.
There’s literally nothing new there, just people leaving the same comments in the same three stories everyday.
Russia is a week from total collapse, trumps a week from going to jail, and Biden is the most progressive president ever.
i was banned for “anti white racism” from many subs including politics. none of the people actually being racist ever get banned.
