    Yeah, i like the idea behind hexbear. A place for left leaning people to gather. But the reality is its just another place for toxic people to have an echo chamber

      From what I’ve seen, I gather that they are authoritarians who have seen that some historical and present day authoritarian dictators have used socialist rhetoric and trappings, and so they do the same. But they don’t care about the socialism part one whit, all they care about is the authoritarianism.

      That and contrarianism and anti-west sentiment. “The west is bad because it is bad, and anything that hurts the west is good (even if the thing hurting the west is the most evil fucking thing you can imagine)”.

      I’m pretty far left too… but I’m very much anti-authoritarian left. I still believe in democracy, and dethroning kings of whatever sort, call it a president or call it a ceo. I rather despise those guys at hexbear.
