MODERATORS
The hexbear and lemmygrad users/posts I run across in All mostly remind me of those street corner preachers. I don’t care one way or another about their ideologies but it’s tiring that they always feel the need to shout it in your face.
I don’t hate them but find them to be obnoxious and mostly cult-like.
Very much like a cult actually. Often times the opinions they are espousing don't actually make much sense even within their own ideology, mostly because their kids and they don't actually understand what they're talking about.
It's not communist ideology to claim that Tinnamon Square didn't happen, it's just China's propaganda. It's not the same thing.
Equally criticizing China is not the same as criticizing communism as a concept. It's perfectly acceptable to think that communism is good but what China did is bad, but these idiots won't allow you to say that. If they actually understood what they were talking about they'd realized that, but they don't because as you say they're in a cult.
