If so, was it polled somewhere?

      What? There’s plenty of nonsense in there, for example:

      [https://lemm.ee/comment/2394714](also, fuck off landlord. Mao was right.)

      From the wiki:

      In this vein, Mao insisted that the people themselves, not the public security organs, should become involved in enacting the Land Reform Law and killing the landlords who had oppressed them, in contrast to the Soviet practice of dekulakization.

      … yikes. That said, it’s online bickering, there’s always going to be examples of bad behaviour.

      As for my own, unasked, opinion on hexbear. I don’t really notice them around. Maybe its because I’m blind to them as I am generally left leaning, I did by contrast notice the EH memes before they were defederated. I’m generally an all/new scroller on Lemmy.

        No, no, they’re right on this one. Killing your landlord is good actually. Like literally everything else Mao did was bad, but he was right on this.

          I’m a little more reserved. I would peg my response to their attitude to change.

          If they’re willing to step aside, or even support shelter becoming a human right, then I’ve got bigger problems than them.

          If they’re going to cling tooth and nail to a system that sees people freeze and starve for their own enrichment then yeah, fuck 'em.

            I mean, they could do that now. They don’t gotta wait until the knives are at their throat–though if that does happen, i expect plenty will say whatever they think will get them off the hook.

              I mean, the people who believe that landlords should be killed could do that now. They don’t gotta wait either.

                The police disagree with you on that.

                  When you talk about social change via the killing of landlords being a good thing, and having knives to their throats, well the police already disagree with that. I took that as a given that you didn’t care. So they could do that now, they don’t gotta wait.

                  But here’s the point. We have established someone might not actively pursue social change that they know to be right because it would incur some personal cost, but they wouldn’t hinder it either. I’ve got less issue with them.

                  I have most issue with people who actively hinder that social change.

                    Of course i care. Don’t be foolish.

                    Remember this started off with talk about Mao’s policies.

          I get the feeling if you learnt more about Mao you’d find a lot of things you’d want to add to your list.
