Why is the solarpunk memes community on this instance filled with such massively anti-left folks?

    Hexbear is good and most of the negative things people have to say about it are completely made up

      It’s super rare to have a pleasant interaction with hexbear users. And I think thats something they are proud of. To me this just really sad, because how exactly are you spreading your propaganda effectively when everyone just thinks you are annoying?

      Also on hexbear users of other instances or other instances as a whole get heavily misrepresented and there seems to be no good faith when interacting with other communities that are not closely aligned in their political stance. (Of course hexbear itself also suffers from lots of misrepresentation, which probably contributes a lot to their in group / out group thinking)

        In my experience that is because it’s super rare for liberals to approach socialists in good faith. They don’t pleasantly interact with bad faith trolls, with transphobes, with homophobes, with racists, with misogynists, with fascists, and so on. If you were to approach them in good faith you would find nothing but pleasant interaction.

      Idk about completely. They’ll just straight up slobber on Putin’s knob and it simply doesn’t make sense without the community being compromised by a troll farm somewhere.

      Xi at least has some deniability to his fascism and a hope of Da Revolushion turning a corner at some point. Putin’s literally just a fascist invading his neighbors out of rank imperialism.

        Yeah, this is the completely made up stuff I was talking about thanks for the demonstration. If you think anyone on hexbear is a fan of Putin you have obviously never opened the site even once.

        Also if you were being homophobic like this on hexbear you’d be banned, which is the correct position to take
