Yeah, some of these posts get wild. It's a shame, since the actual communists are cool.
It is interesting seeing the left's version of MAGAts, though.
there's no difference between good and bad things, I insist
You're right: that wasn't a fair comparison. Sure, they're both loud, immature, hateful idiots -- but the MAGA crowd can unfortunately organize to some degree and exert their will in the real world.
The "communist" pro-authoritarian crowd ... can't. Being obnoxious online is the peak of their abilities.
I saw a person doing a thing. This must be the only thing they do, since I haven't seen them doing other things. I am very smart.
I saw a MAGA drink water once. I also saw a tankie drink water... COINCIDENCE?!
For the debate bros in the crowd, the error RoomAndBored is pointing out is an example of the fundamental attribution error, also known as correspondence bias.
So, like, instead of making assumptions about someone's internal life, look at the material, economic, social situations they're in and ask of those situations are dictating or constraining their behavior?
Not really. If you see a stranger kicking a vending machine, there's a (well-documented!) bias to think "that much be a violent and angry person" instead of "that person is having such a bad day they're kicking vending machines now."
You could go dig all the way into material and social situations that caused a person to yada yada yada, but that's way deeper in.
you're talking to an organizer sweetheart. we're doing quite well, thank you for checking in!
The government has a long sordid history of violently suppressing which of these groups?
Real civility cuck moment
Hey now, kink shaming isn't kind. There's nothing wrong with having a cuckoldry fetish as long as everyone is a consenting adult.
Bro didn't you know? We hold the power of life and death in our blood stained authoritarian hands. If we don't
the demon rats will lose and the greater of two evils will win! The horror!
How is saying this 'China's going to collapse any second now I promise bro' is dumb being MAGAt
Wild self admission that you consider "left wing Maga" to simply be people that do not share the same geopolitical outlook as mainstream western opinions.
You know that there are plenty of people globally, including centrists and even right wingers, that do not share the same ideology as western countries on geopolitics? Are they all "left wing Maga" now? Is any country in Africa that prefers to align with China over the USA "left wing Maga"? Are the people of Niger, Burkina Faso and Mali "left wing Maga"? Are the majority of global citizens outside of the west "left wing Maga"?
This is just an extremely childish opinion to hold.
I'm sure you know a lot of these real communists and they don't exist entirely in your head
MAGA: Racist, xenophobic, sexist, homophobic, transphobic, right-wing.
Hexbear: Not racist, not xenophobic, not sexist, not homophobic, not transphobic, not right-wing.
So apparently being the opposite of MAGA makes us MAGA now, lmao.
real horseshoe theory moment
Give us some credit we're much scarier than MAGA. We cost Hildawg her prophecied kingdom, after all!
