:sicko-hexbear:

Otherwise gee fucking idiots I guess you realy needed a whole research department to figure things out like

•Alt-Right supergroup activity remains near its all-time high. This activity has been high since the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August (Fig. 1).

•The forums with the greatest use of Violent/Aggressive discourse in November were in Health Misinformation, scoring higher than Incels/Femcels and the Extreme Right (Fig. 7).

•Reference to sex crimes was up 13% in December and was up 32% since August (Fig. 11).

:the-democrat: reading this : "Great, its all according to the plan. Carry on mrMcdoofus, keep us informed, this is very useful information, it will come in handy when we decide to do absolutely nothing for the next 2 years."

Extreme Right includes antisemitic and Christian Identity forums, neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, secessionists, and White pride groups.

Extreme Left includes anarchist and socialist forums.

Wow, these two things are so equal.

Honestly surprised anyone tried laundering "extreme left" data with this site lol. Figured it would be eco-fascist groups or something, whose forums get like 1 post every quarter.

Most peoples' conservative aunt/uncle's Facebook post comments are more violent than this place.

Really it's a little disheartening. Our little 10k member (most of them probably not active posters) shitposting site is significant enough to constitute a significant fraction of the "extreme left"? jfc I hope he's just bad at google searching.

Take heart in the fact that were a niche social site and not the actual movement

From another one of this guy's presentations, this time about perceptions of policing:

"Anti-fascism is an extreme-left position" is really telling on yourself.

Scratch a liberal and so on

You just know that they threw in the extremism definition at the top so they can pretend they're being objective, while hiding bias inside loaded terminology. Why use terms like heterodox when they can use eXtReMiSt instead?

Heath misinformation

By his definition the "barefoot is legal" movement is extremist on the level on the KKK and Neo-Nazis.

It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again
