I might have to make a new account here. I made a comment and then edited it to address a Q_Anon adjacent hexbear user that replied to me. It's really strange. They say they are extreme leftists on their sidebar, but their politics are anti-Western, which puts them essentially with NK, China, and Russia, which are an authoritarian brand of communist or fascist that prosecutes and imprisons trans, LGBTQ+, etc,.
At this point I think they are simply trying to get reactions and shit stir for lulz. Getting told I should die because I corrected a Hexbear's use of misinformation is surreal. I never thought an extreme Leftist or five would openly and brazenly support a regime that literally made supporting LGBTQ+ stuff a crime only a year or two ago. It's wild.
They are, who we call tankies. Propaganda spreading scumbags here to wreck communities and cause discord and chaos for Russia and China among other countries trying to wreak havoc. They're doing it because of the Ukraine war. Block them and do not use instances that federate with them.
I appreciate the advice and will probably do so.
Where you hear extreme or radical anything don't think they are just further along on a line. Most often they break the line and turn 90 degrees into another dimension into delusions from baby eating cabals to lizard people secretly running the government.
Trying to apply logic to their thinking is not a useful exercise as the foundations to their thinking isn't based on logic. It's based on emotion.
Yea they're insane. They brigade any post about China or Russia to defend them with some whataboutism and anyone who dares oppose them gets called a bigot because they pretend to be LGBT friendly. Just look at some of the pronouns they choose to use. I understand some people might prefer more unique pronouns like ze/zem and whatnot and that's fine but they're just straight up trolling by using stuff like comrade/tank giving our LGBT friends a bad name. Its more obvious they're trolls because they defend very anti LGBT countries while pretending to belong to the community.
Edit after having looked into it: init is a liar, they are a US soldier and were attacked for that reason, more in the next comments
Which Q Anon adjacent user? Link would be nice, if you are speaking truthful it would great if you could do a link, but name is fine, too.
Most leftists are anti-Western, has to do with the US's hegemonial role during the Cold War and its support of genocide, murder, torture and violence against socialist sympathizers and coups i.e. in South America. As the Jakarta Method describes well.
Do you have a link for that as well?
It's all in response to this comment.
Then you are a liar, which is common for US soldiers.
You being a soldier is the reason the people flung those things at you. Which is more understandable, judging the actions of US and Canadian troops in Iraq as example.
Is also quite clear that it is about the job you do. It is funny how a literal US military government employee influences the discussion on de-federation without that being a relevant point.
Collateral damage: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zYTxuW2vmzk (which you are not allowed to watch, since that would breach your regulations) Shows civilians being targeted.
Even more:
Your link did also not show me the user is related to Q in any way. This again makes you a propagandist.
This is a common US military talking point, which you being a US soldier fits well. Equating anti-Westernism with "horrible regimes" (that is the dogwhistle you use) would mean that most academics and political scientists are supporting North Korea? You are a shill, one literally paid by the US military's intelligence.
Isn't a decent chunk of it just being anti-US? They were happier with the US and EU being two (closely related) poles in a multipolar world. They're much more strongly against the US and EU coupling together.
The EU has become increasingly dependent on the US... That's dangerous.
I fully agree with EU dependency being extremely dangerous.
