On this week this niche leftist forum was first launched (its was the 24th or 25th i think) Formed from the Chapotraphouse subreddit remnants that survived the reddit ban over the calls of violence against confederate slave owners, the first admins decided to use Lemmy as its base. Originally called Chapo.chat (ChaCha) Hexbear has grown into one of the biggest instances in the lemmyverse.
In this last 5 years hexbear has survived many diffent events from numerous struggle sessions, mod clique-users conflicts, wrecker incursions from other instances and sites, this image 
, a decent amount of fedidrama with other instances and the domain crisis, we still thrive with over 5 million comments and 375k posts.
I still continue my dictatorial rule over the general megathread for now over 4 years now, this time locked in the chapo comm so it can be more easily moderated, c/indigenous has now grown to 750 subs which im very happy plus now i take care of the empoc mega which has been pretty chill so far.
I still really enjoy the fedidrama, it fun to see all the fedilibs always thinking about hexbear despide the fact that they are on defederated instances and they can ust ignore us, we live rent free on their minds

Youtube has been recommending me shorts from this one channel called "Breezy Politics" which is some reactionary anti-zionist clip channel. There's clips from Tucker and MTG but then there's also clips from Mehdi Hasan's recent Jubilee appearance. Just watched one where they called Mamdani an "America First" politician which I found funny.
Also from this channel I found out that Matt Gaetz has apparently joined the right-wing anti-Israel side.
Edit: Just saw Matt Gaetz talk about how Israel killed Shireen Abu-Akleh and he listed a few other Palestinian-Americans. That made me notice that they never mention Rachel Corrie, a blonde white girl, which should be right up their alley. Do they just not know about her? I don't see any reason, not even a sinister one, for why you wouldn't want to bring her up if you wanted to talk about how Israel kills Americans. They love yapping about the USS Liberty and that was decades ago, so it's not like her death was too long ago.
Edit 2: Spamming Jackson Hinkle replies with "Never forget Rachel Corrie" would probably be decent propaganda to stoke the flames among anti-zionist reactionaries. Too cynical for me though.
