The so-called "Respectful Cowbee" isn't so respectful after all, well I am shocked, SHOCKED I say! Well, not that shocked
(lemmy.world)
I’m recycling a removed response I made to Cowbee (talking about hexbear) since for some reason my app decided to show me a nearly one year old thread and I was way to focused in my reply to notice that, got reported and a mod came to remove my comment.
I went through the hassle of debunking every single one of his points and would like the comment to be at least still visible to the public.
They (Hexbear) oppose Capitalism They claim to oppose capitalism, but they support China, which is a state-capitalist authoritarian regime. And no, they’re not “transitioning” — but you'll notice they never acknowledge this contradiction. They also support Russia, an oligarchic, kleptocratic, imperialistic, and authoritarian state currently involved in an unjustified war and genocide.
They oppose colonialism Their opposition to colonialism is selective and convenient. While they criticize colonialism, they actively cheer on countries like Russia, China, and the USSR, which have engaged (and continue to) in their own forms of imperialism.
They oppose Imperialism They claim to oppose imperialism, yet they downplay the situation in Ukraine, falsely labeling it as Nazi-infested. This helps justify their support for Russia's expansionist war, even in the face of ongoing genocide.
They oppose bigotry They support the Iranian regime and love praising groups who bolster fascist Islamic ideologies.
They support Socialism In reality, they support authoritarianism, not socialism. Their version of socialism is one that upholds control and oppression, not liberation or equality.
They support Communism Similar to their stance on socialism, their support for communism is purely theoretical. In practice, they endorse authoritarian regimes that suppress freedom and dissent.
They support Anarchism Despite claiming to support anarchism, they would quickly turn on anyone who even remotely identifies with anarchist principles. Their values directly contradict those of anarchism, which is rooted in anti-authoritarianism and decentralization.
They read Marx, Lenin, Goldman and share memes based on Marxist theory. They pretend to engage with the works of Marx, Lenin, and Goldman. In reality, they use their ideas as a platform to spam communities with incoherent diatribes, angry rants, and memes to confuse and intimidate anyone who dares challenge their views. All of the questions Cowbee ask and the discussions he tries to provoke are just stalling tactics. His main goal is to discourage others from debunking his propaganda. I strongly advise anyone reading this to avoid engaging with this user or even better just block him. His so-called “niceness” is just a façade. He has no intention of genuinely listening to or debating opposing views. His objective is clear: to spread propaganda and manipulate others into accepting his narrative and by extension, China's and Russia's narrative.

sorry for the wall of text but I felt it necessary as each and every point I made still stands
