I thought this exact thing, but the more I learned about them, it turned out to really not be true. While there is a kind of meme culture there of asking Xi to nuke the town they’re currently residing in, and pointing out all of the white supremacist symbols used by the Ukraine’s army or whatever, there is a deeper context for it.
They don’t necessarily support every move these people make and particularly in regards to Putin there is a lot of criticism towards his social stances.
They’re more looking at this through the lens of what a nato conflict is causing in terms of a more multi-polar world and also Russia turning away from the neoliberalism that has dominated it since the fall of the Soviet Union.
Not saying you have to agree with it. I’m more of a centrist myself, but it’s really not fair to say this as a blanket statement with no context.
This is essentially what I used to think as well, until I spent more time there. There’s some stock phrases busted out, and some users probably leave it at that and don’t engage beyond it. However, they genuinely have a deeper framework for an analysis of the world than what you’re going to see from conservatives.
Basically as part of their extremely liberal ideology, they analyze things through a materialist lens, even the non-marxist liberals there, and through that there is a lot of seeking out of what material causes and contradictions have lead to where we are which can be really neat.
There is probably some disagreement over what is fascist, what’s not, blah blah. But it’s really not as simple as “what I don’t like is fascism”.
I am on hexbear because I like the memes. I consider myself a centrist, but I do agree with their general stance of a revolution that leads to the abolition of private property, there should be a dictatorship of the proletariat, and the complete dedication to elevating our marginalized comrades. I just try not to get political there, and it’s fine really.
I know Hexbear skews very, very liberal. I haven’t spent much time in other lemmy places.
Surely it’s a bit, LMAO. How is that something that could even be witnessed? Where is the open air empt water bottle market even located? :data-laughing:
Idk, comrade. You’re saying that a post regarding the inferiority of a nonwestern country posted on a notoriously racist website is racist? Have you ever considered that China bad?
Yeah, that’s Bingo. Younger sister to the titular Bluey. She’s my daughter’s favorite.
Objectively true answer. Left wing speech is what is threatened and a place that advocates for it should be viewed as the protector of free speech.
I don’t play games, but I recently tried to get this one going for my wife on steam. I ended up getting it to work, but not through steam. She really likes the game, even just the base model that’s free.
I think there is also a lot of modding that’s done, so you could put those in.
The issue I hit was that it also requires the EA app, and I got frustrated putting it on Linux so I just got a cracked version, which came with a ton of the DLC’s. Like, some 74 of them and every expansion.
She says it’s a lot of options to choose from, but works fine after some tweaking.
