  • This comment is a hot mess because you used “liberal” as the implied opposite of conservative, but that isn’t the definition @[email protected] implied when talking about hexbear, or at least that isn’t how he bear defines it.

    I really wish we could have some better descriptive words in these communities. “Tankie” is equally meaningless and confusing.

    So the common american usage is liberal = leftist (or whatever counts for leftist)

    On hexbear (and elsewhere) liberal is just the centrist of the conservative capitalists. By this definition, every politician in america is a liberal, whether democrat, republican, or independent, since they are all capitalists (if any of them aren’t liberal, it’s because they are too small to be relevant or because they are just blatant fascists). Anyone who isn’t anticapitalist is conservative by that standard.

    I could be wrong in some of what I said I’m just trying to help clarify but I’m not perfect lol please don’t take this as an attempt to argue


  • I guess federation in this case means blocks don’t do much, still allowing you to reply and such. I would never have seen this after your “ok.” If I didn’t get curious to check how it worked.

    I’m glad you sorta realized I’m not trying to antagonize anyone. I want leftist cooperation - I think the original meme was bad and unproductive, partially because that kind of thing can generate even further unproductive infighting, and then hexbear proved that correct. This is an “everybody loses” situation IMO and getting caught up in it in a way I had to try and defend myself was extremely unpleasant and unintended.

    I also apologise for any excessive rude behavior on my part. I am not great, especially when upset, at being polite, or being coherent in general.
