What if i compared the worst times in socialist countries with the best times in capitalist ones? That would probably make you cry

my favorite thing about us interacting with liberals here is how they can't handle us talking normally. Just our normal communication style, casual chatting, is interpreted by them as wildly offensive and rude. And that's no matter what we're saying or how good faith we're communicating. It felt like even when I was trying to talk normally to libs here or federated I'd have to water down everything I said, or I'd get asked to denounce Stalin or the DPRK no matter what the topic was.
Or maybe that's just their defense mechanism? Like a squid spraying ink. When they don't have anything concrete to say they instantly complain about manners?
I'm new here and I couldn't even tell there were problems with how you guys communicate.
Hexbear gets reaaaally hostile when it's obvious that a person is acting in bad faith and not at all worth talking to. The crowd does not waste its time trying to engage bad faith actors and instead just switches over to hostility, pigpoopballs or fart noises.
If someone seems in good faith or willing to actually learn then it's pretty reasonable.

Usually the bad experiences people bring up are ones they instigate.
9/10 boils down to someone trying to be a debate pervert like ben Shapiro or trying to troll everyone.
Like no shit it's a bad experience when you come in hostile from the start.

I see it differently, I can feel a deep fire burning in almost all of Hexbear's comments, quite different from most communities that just whine without purpose.
One day I'll find out what this fire is aiming at. /s
That's one of the best compliments I have ever received. Another was when I regular customer I had given my number to if they wanted me to send them reading material or podcasts on specific subjects randomly texted me one day to tell me they mentioned me at a house party vaguely and literally everyone was like "is that the cool anarchist commie guy at [grocery store]" Made me really think my agitprop in retail hell is not for nothing.

Redditors all talk exactly the same like they're in a weird robot cult, so when they see internet people conversing in a normal, reasonably casual style and having a good time doing so it short circuits their brains

You do realize the only citation there is radio free Asia right?
Oh so you didn't accept sources you don't agree with? Not very dialectical of you
A lib would never use the word “dialectical”. -10 social points
I thought my blatant misuse of it would make up for that fact 
Help I can’t deal with the sad cat picture

TRUE CENTRISM HAS NEVER BEEN IMPLEMENTED!
EVERYTHING HAS ALWAYS BEEN OFF CENTER ON THE POLITICAL COMPASS!
Once we have true centrism, both those who want healthcare ands housing for all, and those who want extermination of lesser skull shapes will be equally unhappy as they will be getting a fraction of what they want.
THAT IS WHEN TRUE CENTRISM WILL BE REACHED AND HISTORY WILL TRULY END.

Consider human nature. It's innately programmed in our brains to hoard wealth

As is your right!
Question for tankies: when you're picking out your ideology, why don't you simply choose the lib-left part of the political compass instead of auth-left?
haven't you tankies learned that the auth-left is a trick? It's a bunch of fascists tricking you into thinking it's communism, but then they make a government that just does state capitalism, which is worse than normal capitalism. You're being fooled into believing you're far left, but actually, you're just the moderate wing of fascism.
Why can't you be more like social democrats, like Sweden or Denmark? Those ideologies aren't tricks by the capitalist elites to make you think you're further left than you actually are. Social democrats are the true far left, not fascists like you tankies. The social democrats are legitimate and that's why no social democratic country operates on imperialism.
I tried but some of the questions on the survey were very trickily worded.

You are correct except that I am the only real leftist.

The gap in understanding was really something to behold, like being Dracula and every once in a while some villager shows up with a wooden crucifix and some prayed-over creek water, thinking they're gonna be the one to banish the monster.
Actually you tankies are more like voldemort and I'm the legendary guy with the scar who's here to maintain the status quo
We know that JK Rowling didn’t originally intend Harry to be a cop because if she had she would have named him Thumble Wifebeater

If everybody gets paid the same, what's the incentive to be a doctor?
I literally overheard some chud on a train argue that point with a friend, and used that to conclude that that's why communism will never work. If everyone gets paid the same, then what's the challenge??? 
He reminded me of that 20th century banker in the TNG episode "The Neutral Zone", who wakes up in the 24th century after being thawed from his cryogenic state, and then asks Picard what even the point of living is in that century if material needs no longer exist, and people's want for riches and possessions is no longer a thing. Picard skillfully schools his ass. 
Me: what's the point of being alive if i have to constantly be looking for more income to survive

Yeah by forcing people to become doctors at gunpoint. Slave doctors are still slaves

I'll take the contrary position, I find reading a dozen dunks of ppb and other derivative roasts cringe. Feels like the "two minute hate". Yeah yeah I know. I just don't like being mean.
I like the accidental hybrid tactic thing we have: Heavy Arguers in front, Theory Linkers behind them, and a swirling vortex of PPB Skirmishers all around
I like the theory linkers but i can't be one. i just take the piss out of em. I don't have the patience for folks not ready to learn. I know the libs won't read the links, either. If a theory linker reads this don't be discouraged, tho! i usually read the links the libs don't use and learn something in their stead
If any theory linkers see this, also know that an unclicked link in a big arguepost against liberals is just as effective as a clicked one. They inspire dread in the uninformed, and make the more self-conscious ones reconsider their belligerence for fear of being dunked on
