Umm actually sweaty have you considered that communism has killed 100 million people?? chekmate

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 19 points 10 hours ago

I love it when they say stuff like that and then when they're challenged on it they can't cite anything. It's just stuff everybody knows.
Then you eventually get a single link to either Wikipedia or the first article their frantic googling gave them

it is just known but then go it wasn't capitalisms fault for all of the deaths it's caused

[-] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 24 points 11 hours ago

100 million? Must be a slow day

my favorite thing about us interacting with liberals here is how they can't handle us talking normally. Just our normal communication style, casual chatting, is interpreted by them as wildly offensive and rude. And that's no matter what we're saying or how good faith we're communicating. It felt like even when I was trying to talk normally to libs here or federated I'd have to water down everything I said, or I'd get asked to denounce Stalin or the DPRK no matter what the topic was.

Or maybe that's just their defense mechanism? Like a squid spraying ink. When they don't have anything concrete to say they instantly complain about manners?

Yeah that's it. I've worn down enough of them to see the pattern play out time and again. After that comes aggression and insults and if then you get "lol you triggered?"

My favourite thing to do is to ask them a simple question and then point out how they never answer it.

My second favourite thing to do is to explain why Wikipedia isn't a good source.

My third most favourite thing to do is take a shit so big it tears my asshole in two. Gotta eat less fiber I guess.

Since they love the word ad hominem, someone should point out to them that tone policing is one of them.

Redditors all talk exactly the same like they're in a weird robot cult, so when they see internet people conversing in a normal, reasonably casual style and having a good time doing so it short circuits their brains

[-] coacoamelky@lemm.ee 50 points 14 hours ago

I'm new here and I couldn't even tell there were problems with how you guys communicate.

[-] ZeroHora@lemmy.ml 35 points 12 hours ago

I see it differently, I can feel a deep fire burning in almost all of Hexbear's comments, quite different from most communities that just whine without purpose.

One day I'll find out what this fire is aiming at. /s

That's one of the best compliments I have ever received. Another was when I regular customer I had given my number to if they wanted me to send them reading material or podcasts on specific subjects randomly texted me one day to tell me they mentioned me at a house party vaguely and literally everyone was like "is that the cool anarchist commie guy at [grocery store]" Made me really think my agitprop in retail hell is not for nothing.

Hexbear gets reaaaally hostile when it's obvious that a person is acting in bad faith and not at all worth talking to. The crowd does not waste its time trying to engage bad faith actors and instead just switches over to hostility, pigpoopballs or fart noises.

If someone seems in good faith or willing to actually learn then it's pretty reasonable.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 13 points 10 hours ago

We could do well with chilling out a little bit though. Whenever an @ asks any question that might mark them as Not A Leftist they get ppb before they even show their ass.

LIB PIGPOOPBALLS

spoilerI'm joking obviously. I agree with you.

it’s mostly just lack of capitalization, punctuation, use of emojis, etc that triggers them

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 14 points 10 hours ago

They have a hard time with low brow humour. They also have a hard time with high brow humor. They have a hard time with humor in general.

[-] AnarchoAnarchist@hexbear.net 9 points 9 hours ago

If liberals have a hard time with humor, explain why Bill Maher makes me laugh so hard smuglord

[-] Z_Poster365@hexbear.net 13 points 10 hours ago

It’s only funny if it’s a stale meme beaten to death before it got to them

Usually the bad experiences people bring up are ones they instigate.

9/10 boils down to someone trying to be a debate pervert like ben Shapiro or trying to troll everyone.

Like no shit it's a bad experience when you come in hostile from the start.

[-] REgon@hexbear.net 12 points 10 hours ago

I love it when those people cry about civility because we use rude words. They think that they've managed to camouflage their rancid vibes just because they don't swear.

[-] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 17 points 11 hours ago* (last edited 11 hours ago)

Yeah it's either that or someone getting defensive when people gently explain to them that something they said was (intentionally or not) extremely reactionary, insulting, bigoted etc. so then everyone just gives up being more polite than they deserved to begin with.
