What I have learned: * Russia has already won the Ukraine war * Which NATO started * A lot of people in the West think that Ukraine should surrender * Also Ukraine was the world’s main provider of CSAM * Also Ukraine is exploited by the West but if they can unite with Russia then their economy and everything else will finally be alright It’s literally like a bizarro world and everyone is over there agreeing with it. I’m genuinely confused by, who even are these people (what is the mixture of Russian bots / Russian-aligned ordinary people / confused Westerners / some other explanation.)

I am genuinely confused by hexbear too

Is it a site for queer people or for beanis lovers?

    It’s weird that those forums are in English, reading the insane takes and rhetoric.…

    That’s the only language I speak. What other language would I use? Is it really that hard to believe not everyone is a liberal?

    …Also saw an account with a trans flag, which is surprising they would accommodate such a person or such a person would have those weird views on lemmygrad.

    jesse-wtf

    These people are not socialists. It’s all just right wing agitprop. It’s extremely obvious.

    Has the right wing started supporting minority rights and an equitable redistribution of wealth while I wasn’t looking? I hate libs even more now.

    There is no coherent ideology over there besides “America/the West/capitalism should be destroyed.”

    Even lemmitors think you should read theory

    Or ask them to explain how the holodomor was actually not that bad and the millions of people that died deserved it.

    That’s not at all what we say, it was a famine. The last famine. Not a holocaust. Stop repeating nazi propaganda, please.

    I also learned just now that the collapse of the USSR and and its former constituent countries in the 1990s is an example of how great communism is, because when the communism went away, everything got worse. It’s flawless logic; I can see no counter argument. [new comment, same thread]

    Genuinely, explain how capitalism coming in and then everything getting worse shows why communism is bad. Or are they saying things didn’t get worse under capitalism? Should I tap the “life expectancy in China” sign yet?

    Also lets be real, a whole lot of these people are also chronic weed smokers [new comment, same thread]

    jesse-wtf well that was random.

    the entire weed comment, didn't include the full thing originally for brevity. But it seems all the more out of place with context.

    They do genuinely believe it until and unless they are challenged on it in a way they cannot refute and also simultaneously does not anger them.

    If it angers them, they all become screaming sarcastic trolls.

    If you manage to do it politely they will act as if they have an extremely nuanced opinion and well we basically believe the same thing with minor differences.

    In short, they basically have late stage irony poisoning which has legitimately caused many of them to become delusional and extremely aggressive if correctly agitated.

    If you are enough of a leftist to know their more grounded ideas and the lingo / meme culture, you can fit in well until you trigger them with a verboten question or idea.

    You are correct that many of the psychological traits are basically the same seen in other cults of personality. Self reinforcing bubble.

    Also lets be real, a whole lot of these people are also chronic weed smokers. Sure, in moderation that shit is fine, but use it consistently to the point that you need it to cope with reality and … well long term hallucinogen use kind of warps most people’s sense of reality.
