    This is pretty nuts. I feel sorry for the guy, he just wanted to debate politics and instead had to defend why shooting the children was a monstrous act whether you could rationalise it or not… You’ve still shot kids.

    Only found out about Hexbear the other day and it seems like an odd place. I consider myself left wing politically but these guys sound like they just want to be authoritarian. Weird

        From what I’ve seen, I gather that they are authoritarians who have seen that some historical and present day authoritarian dictators have used socialist rhetoric and trappings, and so they do the same. But they don’t care about the socialism part one whit, all they care about is the authoritarianism.

        That and contrarianism and anti-west sentiment. “The west is bad because it is bad, and anything that hurts the west is good (even if the thing hurting the west is the most evil fucking thing you can imagine)”.

        I’m pretty far left too… but I’m very much anti-authoritarian left. I still believe in democracy, and dethroning kings of whatever sort, call it a president or call it a ceo. I rather despise those guys at hexbear.
