I don’t consider this acceptable simply because it happens randomly.

My favorite bit from this exchange:

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 36 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (4 children)

they should talk about us more and complain about us louder. i want all the cool people to come here. i want donald trump to tweet about how bad we are. i want netanyahu to say we are in league with hamas.

[–] Bishop_Owl@hexbear.net 25 points 2 weeks ago

I know I personally was drawn to hexbear specifically because there was so much outcry about it on .world I felt inclined ti check for myself, leading me to discover that hexbear was actually pretty cool

[–] Binette@lemmy.ml 24 points 2 weeks ago

honestly them complaining about you guys is what made me more open to MLs. I was glad that there were people that didn't just see the western point of view, and yeah, I checked out what you were all about. Thanks a bunch!

Back in the CTH days the whole reason I checked out CTH was because it was a boogeyman throughout reddit. People were terrified of them.

Oh that's me. I'm trying to work out what they mean by genocide

[–] sleeplessone@lemmy.ml 17 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

The entirely discredited allegation that China is genociding Uyghurs, presumably.

[–] underisk@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Either that or some nonsense about Ukraine and Russia. If they’re really old school they’ll bring up the holodomor.

That appears to be one of the other hexbear users who replied to me in this thread trying to settle a no-stakes wager lmao

Edit: I'm trying, and failing to explain to my partner how this conversation is eating its own tail, and why it's so funny to me

[–] goferking0 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Boring. Ended up just being the standard you think cia is bad reasoning.

Did think they'd use something harsher than scum though

[–] Bishop_Owl@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Obviously I'm replying to someone who can't see it right now, but the CIA admitted they did a lot of this stuff, it's publicly accessible information, the Venezuela shit is documented thoroughly, you can see exactly how it went down. People get me so irate sometimes.

[–] goferking0 6 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Right. And I'd point all this out but based on the number of insults they're throwing at everyone else not worth it

[–] Bishop_Owl@hexbear.net 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Yeah, I figured that's how it would go

[–] goferking0 5 points 2 weeks ago

And now theirs others calling the thread a honey pot for admins 😂

[–] goferking0 16 points 2 weeks ago (3 children)

Odds they think what's happening in Gaza is a genocide?

[–] Bishop_Owl@hexbear.net 14 points 2 weeks ago (2 children)

I realised I didnt actually answer the question, I'd say75% chance that they don't think it's genocide, but if asked they'll tell you it's a really complicated situation. They'll do the Joe Rogan method of having a fully formed opinion that they can easily backpedal as being uninformed at the first sign of opposition.

[–] goferking0 10 points 2 weeks ago

Oh I was going more for rhetorical question but I can see it being a toss up between that or going full zionist hasbara

[–] Bishop_Owl@hexbear.net 13 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

I'd be interested in finding out, but part of me thinks, based on the profile picture, that this [user] never has much to say about anything important and when they* do it's bothsides-ism, but only so long as both sides means "both kinds of liberals."

Edit: removed habitual use of the term guy *again, habitual gendered language that I failed to catch as I was typing.
