Maybe I'm wrong, but I unironically can't think of a time when it's wholesome to fly the English flag.
I'm here to point out that mainstream social media (FB, IG, Twitter) stopped filtering out most Islamophobia long ago. Boris Johnson openly spouted Islamophobia while the capitalist press obsessed over Corbyn's not saying anything anti-semetic ever. Capital allowed and probably wanted this shit to happen for a long time.
Ya. Fuck them. I hope that history treats them very poorly.
Please be dead. I want COVID to kill someone famous and powerful in 2024.
The anti MAGA made up for a more boring season IMHO. I don't love that the CIA are objectively the good guys now.
Fucking annoyed, comrades. In my local vegan group, some reactionary said some bigoted shit in the chat. Pls let me not doxx myself and give too much info, but it was something that would get an immediate ban from Hexbear or any progressive subreddit.
The admin DM'd me. "I know that you're passionate about [oppressed marginalised group], but can you delete your comment". The guy fucked posted literal pages in his defense of saying bigoted shit, but I posted 8 words calmly saying that it wasn't cool. The vibe I'm getting is that the admin is fine with it and probably secretly on his side.
The thing is, everyone hates this guy. Outside of his terrible opinions, he's a massive knobhead, and he's very unfun to hang out with. Women hate him because he's a creep. He's not worth defending.
Edit: maybe it's easy to ignore my opinion because I'm a tankie, but this is 1990's bigotry, not the secret 5D racism that Fascists used to have to deploy to get past Twitter bans.
There was zero chance of anyone being alive in that sub after six days, and there was basically nothing that could have pulled it to the surface from such a depth.
we can just respect that this is a tragedy and those families deserve to morne without their relatives
lol, says guy justifying the lack of effort in trying to save those people. I'd rather a living relative than "mourne".
"I don't get it. People are out and about, like the war is somewhere far away. But this is a full-scale invasion, and it's like people still don't care," Pavlo says.
I wish they could employ this level of urgency for climate change or COVID, not for a regional conflict with a majority Russian population.
It is a complicated issue tho. Some transphobes deserve re-education camps, while others need to get the wall.
Hexbear is a billion times better than the general population about vegan and covid conscious stuff. I can't forget this. Everyone always harps on this place being safe for queer people. But I can't get over the number of left spaces that fell apart because the admins needed "vegan hate stirring #4 this week".
Hexbear gamers, explain yourself!
From what people were saying on Twitter, you can't get a doctor's exception. You gotta convince the cop that you need it for health reasons. I'm sure that will go well.
