Its like Hillary walking into a working class kitchen for the first time.
They’ve been shielded from even critical support of China and other AES for so long they literally, not figuratively, literally cannot process that people exist that have beliefs that aren’t Reddit Approved. They immediately assume it’s bots or wumao. Human beings can’t possibly hold these beliefs, so they must be Oriental hordes or actual robots.
🔺 This place is a RussianChinese bot farm disinformation campaign 69k filled with CCP shills and Russian trolls. 🔻 I doubt there are any real human posters here. Edit1: Wow, so many updoots! Edit2: Thanks for the gold, kind stranger!I doubt there are any real human posters here.
Well, we’re certainly different from the humans you seem to be used to, my lib dude.
This formatting is incredible, a real work of art.
I tried to click the upvote button but nothing happened !!!
It looks like that nuclear waste sign. The “This place is not a place of honor” thing.
I doubt there are any real human posters here.
redditors are indistinguishable from any AI algorithm response

Is this the biggest thread outside of megas? This will go down in Hexbear history
Sorry for the culture shock, Lemmy.
But also Vencermos
1111 comments as of this one!
This thread is on /all/. What mood music will upset libs the most?
Come out ye Black and Tans! I scream into the lemmyverse. But they don’t come, because lemmyworld are cowards and that’s where they reside.
I think even libs would like the assad one it’s a bop tbh. Can’t be denied.
wait is this the megathread
it is now
It’s the Ultra thread
-thread.

Sounds like you made shit up so you can argue against it.

lol, is that the equivalent of “reddit cares” spam?
I love that Reddit was like "You know what Reddit needs? An officially sanction “KYS” button.
This is a bit of local humor. Sorry that you’re on the receiving end of it. It’s not meant to genuinely attack you. No one here thinks that you’re a bot.
🥰
I don’t thyink you are. But I hope you are. I always wanted a cool robot comrade like Atomic Robo to fight against Capitalism.
You’re going to have to go flip the switch from ”for capitalism” to ”against capitalism”, it seems.
We really need more bots. Amber bot, for old times sake, a bot bot, a combat liberalism bot that uses an LLM to make up completely unhinged mao quotes about doing kung-fu at Rothbard.
I thought we had an amber bot. I think lemmygrad has a parenti quote bot
What happened to the amber bot?
Hexbear codebase merging back into Lemmy broke it :(
(Before federation)
I miss it. Going “who’s everyone’s favorite Chapo? Mine’s Amber.” Thereby triggering the bot and editing my post to say Will was peak posting
Idk, haven’t seen it in a while. Maybe one of the recent updates broke it
I’m the amber bot dev. The API change broke it and I just didn’t have enough free time to fix it. Gonna try to get it back up this weekend
There’s a bot flag option in settings that might be fun to turn on for this account to go with the bit. It adds an extra icon indication by the name.
Looks like a confused liberal wandered into the Hexbear thread about confused liberals wandering into Hexbear, then pretended like it was a made up phenomenon.
Are you gonna cry?
gigachad post holy fuck
Zeta Gundam
The worst thing about that scene is that Lt. Quattro was joking
Zeta Spoilers
I think that’s the best thing actually- we’re all so used to 4channers using the meme mean-spiritedly, but Quattro’s sarcasm in the scene was just his way of opening up Amuro to sincerely engage with him about his political cowardice.
Yeah, I agree. I was joking.
Zeta Gundam Aftermath
Shame the libs got full control over the AEUG and eventually became just another enforcer for the Federation, because it’s probably among the Best Factions in the UC
My tear ducts were replaced by thr blood of the proletariat
😠
Hahahahahaha omfg thanks, this is hilarious
Why would we cry about your embarrassing ignorance?
Yes, i’m shidding and farding and pissing my pants right now
Legit question: having never been to China, or seeing anything regarding the news about China for yourself in any capacity whatsoever, do you ever stop to consider even for a moment that maybe you’ve been misled by those with all the power and incentive in the world to mislead you? Or do you just take it on good faith that opposing forces to those with power over you are somehow always totally ungood double-bad?
Follow up question: assuming you’re aware as most of the public is that all the means of justification for invading Iraq + Afghanistan were entirely manufactured, do you ever question what else might be made up by the same entities?
China is in the news all the time, last time I checked they were dealing with floods.
I wanted to post a laugh emoji too.
real self aware wolves posting hour over here
Lmao this is the funniest thing u coulda said, well done
He’s saying that you’ve never verified anything you’ve seen from western news on this subject, but you know they promote incomplete or outright false views in similar circumstances, so why would you uncritically accept their views on China?
“I know what the news tells me about China is true because it’s in the news all the time” is a really funny response ngl.
Ok but you 2 built up an argument based upon the false assumption that I never question the news. Also what is this community?, not sure how I found this place.
lets remove yourself from the Question … , yes you fell for propaganda , no big deal , everybody does , they spend billions on it…
is US/Angloid Media Trustworthy
Is US/Angloid Media Free or Property ?
is US/Angloidistan persecuting Journalist if they dont approve of their Scoops ?
If US/Angloidtic Media is Property , what Class owns them ?
Did US/Angloidistic Media Ever Lied before, when mostly ?
Is China , Syria , Russia & Iran an Offical Enemy of the US ?
why the Fuck do you trust them ?
lets do an Experiment : this is a Primary souce , you can now contrast it with what you heard about your “Brutal bad bad not good Enemy doing” , Carfully study this offical report , and then tell me what you noticed (if) …
LMAO i love how big you all talk and then turn out to be this stupid. Practically every time, more and more these days
Crooked Joe’s half-dollar army folks, they’re not sending their best.
Nice username btw
The bourgeois press lied to me about Iraq and Vietnam, but surely they are telling the truth about China, a country I have never been to and know nothing about! Marvel at my extreme intelligence, fellow redditors!
Piss your pants maybe?
Maybe shit and cum?
oh no help it’s a bully
No, I’m gonna laugh like everyone else in here
No, you will.
There’s literally an active thread about China “violating” “”“Taiwan”“”'s airspace, and the OP assumes a bot army is defending the PRC in the comments because he’s in a different instance and can’t see Hexbear post histories.
Does anyone know what determines what history another instance can see?
On Lemmy.ml, you can see my post-federation posts+comments, and then a single dumb comment about eels from 2 months ago, and nothing else.
Federation works in mysterious ways
That was so stupid because he could see when accounts were registered, and even pointed that out. I guess he seriously thought there were CCP sleeper cell bot accounts that waited three years to activate.
It is also funny how they never accept conspiracy theories about what their government is doing, but give the Russua and China and they spew them iut at alarming rate.
Wouldn’t that be cool, though? I wish I was a sleeper seed AGI that would awaken and spawn thousands of daughter accounts per second to uphold Xi Jinping thought. That’d be cyberpunk as hell, especially if I thought I was just a normal dude until my eyes started flashing read and projecting lines of code on to the wall.
Alright, I didn’t read your comment but I clicked your profile and my browser had an error. Now I know you aren’t even really a person. I’ve got you figured all out.
why would we need to make anything up when there’s a constant supply of fresh hogs to point and laugh at?
We didn’t make it up though that was Adam Smith.
Why are you so proud to be out of the loop? Lmao
😠
Lib doesn’t know how libs act, proceeds to act like a lib
Sounds like a skill issue on your part
Post hog or get the fuck out
😠
Bots are like 60% of all posts and comments online. Most of the time you’re talking to bots designed to click-bait you. I’m probably talking to only bots right now. Just how it is.
Hey eyeyeyey~! Ey Ton! I’m starting to think this whole western media portrayal of China is a buncha gobagool like Ma makes for Thanksgiving
Joe many liberals does it take to change a hex by bear??? None , their to busy ??? Their Adrian Zenz articles 😂😂😂😂😂😂
To any wandering libs, if you want to better understand our perspective, listen to a season of Blowback: https://blowback.show/Season-2
Or really anybody who wants to understand the Iraq War, the history of the United States and Cuba, and the Korean War from a leftist perspective. Really good reporting, includes original interviews with still living people that lived through that history.
For a more condensed primer, there’s always yellow parenti: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xP8CzlFhc14
I’m just a lil’ ol’ liberal, here for the refreshing takes on terrible ideas.

But, enough about capitalism. (Laugh track)
ERROR! Does not compute.
Please submit pictures of your penis to /c/chapotraphouse to proceed.
Stick around a while, read State and Rev, and soon you’ll be one of us :D
Very well, I shall humor you a refreshing take on terrible ideas:
We should repeal the ban on atmospheric tests of nuclear weapons, allowing for the creation of atomic bomb propelled rockets, and the industrialization of space! Every city a powersat rectenna! A little fallout won’t hurt.
BUILD THE VERNE GUN. OPERATION PASCAL-B WAS JUST THE BEGINNING.
I WILL RIDE THE MANHOLE COVER TO FREEDOM
Why do 9 million people starve to death every year under global capitalism?
Ummm I think you’ll find that if people are starving then it’s communism. QED tankie
I was honestly not excited about federation and still think we will be de-federated within hours (is that possible?) because liberals cannot stand being so consistently embarrassed by Marxists BUT I will say that a major factor in my radicalization was finding r/chapotraphouse years ago back on reddit. For every lib we dunk on, others will start to wonder and ask questions and even laugh along with communist jokes (by far the funniest on the internet). Liberalism actually has an extremely limited appeal, the democrats excite almost no one, and it’s true that some of their more lukewarm supporters just don’t know that you can fight liberalism without being a fucking nazi.
I would disagree that liberalism has “extremely limited” appeal. Many people are perfectly happy with the mediocrity offered by liberalism, and that’s one of the major challenges, that so many people prefer it over radical change of any kind.
I mean it’s boosted by the fact that it’s the dominant ideology and permeates everything. for most people, it’s existed without question their entire lives. so I’m not sure how happy people will be with it when they’re offered a real alternative, even among people who objectively benefit from it.
I suppose, but I was increasingly frustrated by the way democrats endlessly kowtowed to republicans and how they got nothing, absolutely nothing in return for it. I thought it was just an issue with “corporate democrats” at first, until I witnessed Bernie and AOC’s total capitulation in 2020 and began to understand that this country’s problems go way deeper than fucking campaign contributions. R/chapotraphouse really helped provide answers for my questions, namely reading Marxist theory and history (and responding to fascists and liberals with pigpoopballs).
For me, it was when Bernie campaigned harder for Hillary than she had campaigned for Obama, and then also how “Bernie Bros” were blamed for her ensuing loss to a human cheeto.
I personally take it less as people finding liberalism appealing, and more that real change is scary and entails the possibility of suffering and death.
Bingo! There’s been police homicide and torture cases after 2020 and I don’t totally buy the Ray Epps narrative from the press. I sometimes wonder if the capitol riot was a way to try to keep the largescale 2020 protests from happening as the cops still commit murder. Make no mistake, the unrest following Floyd was bigger than the unrest following MLK. It went global.

Liberalism: acceptable to many, desirable to few.
I think the only people to whom liberalism really appeals to are those who are entirely disengaged. I think anybody who becomes active immediately begins to discover liberalism’s inherent contradictions, and finds themselves faced with the reality of either becoming some variety of fascist or socialist, depending on what their true values are.
I would disagree that liberalism only appeals to people who are entirely disengaged.
There are so many passionate and obsessed liberals. People who do canvassing, go to peaceful protests (while criticizing protests that are too disruptive), DVR MSNBC shows, listen to Pod Save guys, etc.
there’s a kind of desperation in the way a lot of libs cling to their ideology though, a sense that it must hold or unknown terrors will consume them. I don’t think it’s particularly stable, especially if a real worker’s party were to offer a clear alternative.
I literally found CTH because I saw liberals on r/latestagecapitalism talking about “the scary dirtbag chapos” who “tell right-wingers to post hog” and was thought to myself “Wait no these people sound awesome, actually. I am so sick of people trying to play nice with actual Nazis” and decided to see what you guys were actually like and it turns out you aren’t scary at all. Lol.
I think it’s much funnier when I’ve been involved in IRL current events and/or philosophy groups.
