I’ve been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I’ve encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.

The hexchanners who aren’t actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.

    They’re liberals and can’t conceive that we’re genuine. They interpret all leftist politics as childish or a trick.

    All liberals believe liberalism is simply the natural, logical final step of development. They see it as a fundamental truth like gravity. Anyone not subscribing to liberalism must either be confused or an active agent of misinformation.

      this is the truth of it

      they believe they are the adults in the room, and anyone to their left must be delusional or childish etc

      norm-respectable

      no wealthy and influential Democrat could ever think in this way, so you must be terrible people or ‘utopian’ etc

        Liberals have a hard time understanding that two groups of people could have conflicting interests is how I mainly see it. They see conflict as a personal moral failure rather than situations people are sorted into.

        Capitalist and worker, colonizers and indigenous people, profit and the environment. To a liberal these aren’t fundamentally unsolvable problems based of contradiction, but rather situations that can always be mended through…I don’t know, raising awareness. Putting a cute sign in your yard.

      Put this in the Hexbear bible.

        Instead of a Bible I want a mystical Hexbear Grimoire stored in a cavern beneath a giant oak tree. After descending an inexplicable spiral staircase into the earth itself you find a wise owl, covered in shit, guardian of the ancient Hexbear tome.

        Except most of the book would just be various emojis and pictures of pig shit

      Great point, as always comrade. fidel-salute

      One of the few things that get to me is when they call us childish. Its like a 200 year long intellectual tradition, but somehow we haven’t thought it through and its childish
