yes, hexbear is currently doing a donation drive to support and evacuate people in Gaza

the problem with hexbear is the same handful of users that have made it their hobby to complain incessantly about hexbear all over the fediverse

the most present politician in congress

cry harder fash

The majority of that age range still considers China an enemy, but a tiny fraction of ambivalent onlookers out of an overwhelming majority of a reflexively anti-China populace is enough for the Economist to dedicate an article to a fucking YouGov poll.

It’s just another pearl-clutching “what’s wrong with today’s youths” headline to panic the elderly while flattering compliant millennials/zoomers for being one of the few (despite still being the majority!) “good ones” that march goose-step with consensus Western political thought.

🤓 elitism

Yeah, I get a lot of my reading from the library so I’ll buy the books that I’ll like enough to read a second time or wanna lend out

Interview snippet for the incredulous deboonkers

Some of the arguments/memes I’m seen there are been shared by conservatives, using the same talking points

such as…? People can’t respond if you keep being vague about it.

Recycle! Write to your senator! Vote!

this article is traitorous

West Taiwan -100000 social credit DAE Xinnie? XD

Fixing emote scaling would make it less jarring to see them out in the wild. The ppb moratorium has cleaned up threads a lot and hope it continues. Honestly at this point, I’m more annoyed by posts about hexbear/defederation than I am about the instance, especially people who have made it their entire personality to campaign for censoring it from lemmy entirely.

couldn’t help to find Hitler unlikable

I think you meant, to quote Orwell himself:

I should like to put it on record that I have never been able to dislike Hitler.

More on the list in question: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orwell's_list

There is a notable and obvious overlap in Orwell’s notebook between many of 1940s London’s prominent gay, Jewish and anti-colonial public figures and the accused “cryptos.” Orwell’s bigoted commentaries fill his suspects notebook. Jews are clearly labeled (“Polish Jew,” “English Jew,” “Jewess”) whilst others were mislabeled (“Charlie Chaplin — Jewish?”). The African-American bass singer and future civil rights activist Paul Robeson finds himself in Orwell’s list with the note “very anti-white,” whilst the half-Jewish poet Stephen Spender is damned as a “sentimental sympathiser… tendency towards homosexuality.”

It’ll always be funny that the dude who wrote something like 1984 was such an eager proto-McCarthyite snitch for the propaganda unit of the British Foreign Office.

Curious

Global Times is published by People’s Daily though?

It’s real. The party’s own newspaper is reporting on the objections to it during this “soliciting feedback” phase of legislating.

Edit: Actually, it’s more of an affiliate of the party’s official newspaper.

let’s be real, if my comment ended at the fist paragraph you would’ve upvoted and moved on. Multiple comments in this thread belittle hexbear users as children as well, but you don’t have as much of negative reaction against that.

snarky know-it-alls that believe that they possess the most advanced political analysis derived almost exclusively from parroting reddit comments which have slowly turned their brains into velveeta

but anyway, enough about Lemmitors.

Hexbears are actually a nice bunch if you read through the comments on the current megathread. They just have very little tolerance for self-satisfied libs that congratulate themselves for thumping the Washington consensus-approved ideologies that most of hexbear graduated from years ago. Even I find it difficult to read lemmy comments because they’re legitimately what I would’ve written as a teenage redditor in the late 2000s.
