    Damn hexbear and lemmygrad really became the new “commie”

    It’s really shone a light on how little the West actually understands communism tbh

    Y’all are talking past each other because you’re operating on entirely different assumptions about what the same words mean

      That’s part of the problem, but those instances have a reputation for trolling people. So it’s not really a genuine misunderstanding. They’re not interested in understanding anyone. They just want to harass people.

      This is a great example of a hexbear user’s argument. I simply talked about not wanting to see bad faith arguments, and you respond with a strawman talking about communism, the west, and clichés used by conservatives. You really nailed their favorite tactic of concern trolling like a bunch of 4Chan users cosplaying as leftists.

        Hexbear and Lemmygrad dont have antiwork stances? Also the US empire is the largest source of violence in the world today.
