Goodnight comrades, here's part of the code of conduct that i think about alot

Be aware of your own enjoyment of the site.

  • If you find yourself no longer having fun, do something else. There are many different comms on Hexbear, and many different ways to shitpost and have fun.
  • If the site as a whole is just not cutting it for you, take a break. We'll still be here when you get back. Nothing should compel you to stay.

I've been watching too much lower decks and have accidentally discovered people are not impressed if you respond to them with a deadpanned fascinating

Australia has also started passing laws about neonazis in an extremely superficial way

But at what cost?

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Love your work, I know how brutal trying to unwind these situations can be

I left reddit when they asked me to start paying, and I realised yesterday I have been donating more to hexbear than reddit was asking me for, and I will continue to do so

Alright I think I'm caught up, whew, I hope everyone can take some time to step out for a bit and do something 'nice'

If ever you feel like hexbear is a waste of time, seeing people talk about banning themselves and giving up their mod rights reminds me that we really are an org lol

maybe we should have elections /s

 

If we go to war with China there'll be nothing to buy, nothing to buy -- nothing to buy, nothing to buy

"I will spend the rest of my life in prison and die here," wrote Navalny in his upcoming posthumous memoir titled "Patriot", which this week had excerpts published in the new yorker

Patriot? Wow!

bbc article from 2021 about navalny being a fascist (but its complicated!) https://www.bbc.com/news/world-europe-56181084

Amnesty International has stripped the Russian opposition politician Alexei Navalny of his "prisoner of conscience" status after it says it was "bombarded" with complaints highlighting xenophobic comments that he has made in the past and not renounced.

According to Volkov, Navalny now regrets making the 2007 video in which he advocated for deporting Central Asian migrants, but he has not deleted it from YouTube “because it’s a historical fact.”

obviously I shouldnt be surprised about this kind of thing, especially from publications that were around to talk about sHitler caring about germany or whatever

Don't be a shithead (hexbear.net)

Being a shithead can manifest itself in many ways:

If your friend says something offensive, and you don't call them out, or you only gently scold them so you can stay on good terms - you're being a shit head.

If you're criticising people behind their back, or holding your tongue in a meeting, and gossiping later - you're being a shithead.

If you're letting people off lightly because what they say doesn't personally affect you - you're being a shithead.

If you're demanding special treatment, while expecting others hold themselves to a higher standard - you're being a shithead.

If you resort to personal attacks, instead of arguing against an incorrect point - you're being a shithead.

If you hear someone state a falsehood as fact, and you don't correct them - you're being a shithead.

If you're at work and you're not agitating, and showing no concern for the well-being of others - you're being a shithead.

If you see someone harming others, while you do nothing to stop them, and do not try to reason with them - you're being a shithead.

If you do the bare minimum, with no direction, plans or goals - you're being a shithead.

If you consider yourself a veteran, better than others around you, and above menial tasks, - you're being a shithead.

If you're aware you've made a mistake, and you do nothing to correct it - you're being a shithead.

Being a shithead might keep you comfortable and safe, but you're doing harm to those around you when you engage in these behaviours.

If you're being a shithead, do not.

I try my best to uphold these principles, so yeah I guess you can say I'm pretty unpopular.

😎Yes I did just do a shorthand version of combat liberalism and ctrl+h "liberal" with "shithead", the idea of making a poster with these points that just says "DONT BE A SHIT" has been floating around in my noggin for a while, yes thank you, I am very funny.

spoiler 😱 actually if the original copy of this said "shitremoved" and I changed it to "shithead" so I don't upset anyone, is that liberalism? 🤔 /s :::

I feel like this should almost go in c/badposting haha

I know we're all still masking, I'd been a little slack and it got me sick (we isolated immediately when our friend tested positive the next day), this is your reminder.

This round of covid was as bad as every other, the symptoms were different (I was so nauseous), but as bad as it always is.

My hoarding paid off though, we didnt run out of food or anything.

"We all have views and opinions, and everyone's entitled to protest, but we're also entitled to go about our business and we do it peacefully," Mr Reddy said.

"They're out there talking about Palestine and what's happening out there. I understand their point of view [but] who's talking about Ukraine?

"We're here to defend democracy and to enable the peace loving people of Ukraine to stand up to Russian oppression. Why is no one talking about that? It's only about Palestine for some reason."

fucking cretins

The ex minister for defence was at this expo, now on the board of some defence company, didnt get alot of attention though

fucking gross seeing so many good journalists trying not to salivate over the big boy toys while they put to you: dont you care for the peace loving Ukrainian people?

a quick search shows the australian grubernment provided 70mil to Palestine (extremely begrudgingly, funding stops anytime israle says boo) in the last 12 months, and more than 150mil to Ukraine
