If you have a materialist worldview and understand class relationships, you can generally come out of most situations with the correct take without knowing the details.
Hexbear users tend to know what they're talking about, given their track record and consistency. I should consider my positions and compare them to one of the theorists they reference.
Maybe they are right based on vibes
It can be both!
my superpower is you can bring me an object I've never seen before and I'll tell you that it probably obeys gravity
Ummmm helium balloon mutch? :smug-lord:
The liberal vibes themself into wrong positions, the Marxist vibes themself into correct positions.
I read theory BTW
Oh, yeah, me too. Carl Stalin wrote that, right?
Yeah, I studied 17th century Norwegian to be able to read it in the original text. Worth it, I recommend it!
No idea if this is a hexbear complaining about a lack of people reading theory, or a lost lib complaining about how hexbear keeps getting things right and has solid morals despite being the "bad guys" and an "echo chamber."
Gonna guess the second, based on vibes, thus arriving at the correct position
Def a lost lib
There's not enough text for it to be the former
Once you have the dialectical materialism tool in your toolbox a lot of problems become easier to solve.
It's funny to me they say we vibe into the correct position for 2 reasons: 1) liberal idealism is the most vibes based way to look at the world and 2) of course with that framework they'd be blind to the mechanics of dialectics and materialism and assume we just used some unseen woowoo power called "vibes" in our takes.
It's like debating a theist on the existence of God and winning and him being like "God made you win the debate."
"God made you win the debate."
"Oh, and one more thing Mr Atheist..."
Me when people keep telling me to read theory but then I read this "Lenin" guy and he's just saying what I'm saying!
Me at 13 years old being aware that capitalism logically and inevitably leads to oligopolies and monopolies
Me now reading Lenin's "Imperialism: highest stage of capitalism"
It’s not vibes, I just assume by default that everything said by the US Departments of State or Defense is a lie and that the opposite is true.
This has only lead me astray one time, regarding the Russian “invasion”* of Ukraine, where after saying that was a threat for years I assumed they were lying and it did actually happen
*Invasion seems like a strong word for entering an ongoing conflict that’s been raging on your border for years
Same tbh, my default assumption is the government is lying and the US is the bad guys
Past performance and all that
It's not analysis, but it's a really good heuristic.
I'm just a simple man toiling in the posting mines
you forgot to refer to the invasion as "full-scale" as per the western media style guide
don't forget to include "unprovoked" to hit all the key words
You can hardly be blamed when Russia was clearly trying to avoid invasion while the US via Zelensky kept poking the bear with a bigger and bigger stick.
Even that was less of a prediction and more of a promise, seeing how in the week leading up to the intervention, the shelling of the Donbas intensified wildly. Remember during that week or so, when Biden was going on TV every day saying "The Russians are going to attack Ukraine today! Er, *tomorrow!. Uh, I meant the next day!"
We have identified the correct vibes through the immortal science
I guess I have to be the one to post it today: no investigation, no right to speak. Marxism will lead you to the correct analysis, but you have to actually have the facts in order to analyze them. Don't get complacent.
funnily enough whenever my friends ask me about a political subject that I haven't read about yet, 9/10 my vibes based analysis is scarily correct
the best recent example is probably the nordstream pipeline explosion, we were just drinking and hanging out when it hit the news, we weren't through the headline before I said that this doesn't make any sense for the russian side, it must be us or ukraine
that said, no investigation, no right to speak, always validate your wibes
The question is, what counts as an investigation
WE ARE WHO ARE THE NOOSPHERE OUR KNOWLEDGE PRECEDES KNOWING DO NOT DISAGREE FOR YOUR FACTS AND LOGIC CANNOT OVERCOME THE TRUE SEEING THAT WE POSESS
I desperately need context for this
Where do the site taglines come from? We may never know...
There is in fact a search function that works pretty well...
Edit: couldn't find it this time, but I have found other taglines using the search bar
It may have been deleted. I couldn’t find it either, using all of the resources at my disposal (typing it into Google with quotes)
Context would not improve the savory taste.
I knew Powell was lying about WMDs when he fooled the U.N.
Ukraine should have sued for peace two years ago.
Historical materialism is just academic vibe check
Unironically the vibes based analysis here is oddly accurate
Reject childish vibes.
Embrace immortal science.
A useful shorthand for this superpower is to simply oppose anything the US does
oppose anything the US does
70% of historical materialism in five words
