Wait you mean taxing the rich actually works?

So they change their flag from one symbol widely used by Nazis to another symbol widely used by Nazis, but somehow that doesn’t make them Nazis.

Care must therefore be used to correctly interpret this symbol in whatever context in which it may be found

The context is it’s a widely-known Nazi symbol on a flag for a battalion whose members frequently express neo-Nazi views. What other fucking context do you need?

Weird how they only use symbols that are widely used by neo-Nazi groups.

Arguing “well actshually they used a bunch of different symbols” is more Nazi apologia since very few symbols were used as widely by the Nazis as the swastika or the wolfsangel. There’s a reason you don’t see neo-Nazis tattooing antifa flags on their bodies.

The black sun got removed in 2015, this is the new one.

And everyone shares thoughts instantly so you just know their meme culture is off the charts.

If it means not having to deal with capitalism anymore I’d get in line too tbh.

You’ll never guess who helped make that possible.

Mirror universe Musk was actually a great guy who selflessly tried to improve humanity, and mirror-Lorca calls him a great man because that’s who good people in the mirror universe would praise.

what the fuck is the y-axis on this image

Conservatives when they hear police killed another unarmed black man:

you have to acknowledge that they did really good job of introducing themselves, though - i had no idea they even existed the day before that thread and i am firm proponent of “defederate. now.” today 😆

Is that why you haven’t stopped whining about us ever since

Full time work.

Splitting hours and minutes into base 60 started with the Sumarians like 5000 years ago, passed down to the Babylonians, and just kind of stuck around. 60 is great because it has a bunch of factors - 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 10, 12, 15, 20, 30, and 60 - so it’s easy to split up into even parts. Apparently it’s called Sexagesimal

A year being ~365.25 days long is simply how many times the Earth spins on its axis during a full orbit around the sun, because the Universe does not give a shit about being neat and orderly. Months and weeks are just figuring out how to manage it the best we can. Kinda dumb that February has 28/29 days though, like there’s a bunch of months with 31 days stop hogging them all and let February have a couple more, assholes.

ok but when someone says “Hollywood is too woke these days” or “Stop pushing your woke agenda on my children!” it’s not exactly a mystery as to what they really mean.

It was an extremely bigoted, vulgar, personal attack on an admin in his own thread about why Hexbear deserves a second chance.

Sure, no arguments there.

An utterly vile statement like that followed by your soft “time and place” non-rebuke does not deserve any benefit of the doubt so yes, I will absolutely jump to the obvious interpretation.

Okay, but I’ve already clarified that I didn’t agree with what he said, and all I was trying to say was “be nice.” You obviously want less needless hostility from Hexbear users towards other instances, and I want that, too. Please afford us the same respect.

Especially in a thread about continued unacceptable Hexbear behavior. “Read the room” indeed.

In the same message the admin has also asked all users to “Be kind to each other, even if you disagree.” I’m respecting that request by trying to have a polite discussion with the users in this instance, but I have received nothing but hostility from you in return.

I understand that users outside of Hexbear might be offended by it, and that’s entirely understandable and I absolutely agree we should behave ourselves outside of our own instance. But respectfully it isn’t your place to tell us how to conduct ourselves within our own instance.

I’m not an admin or a mod for Hexbear, so I don’t have the power to dictate what other users say or to remove their comments. My point was this message was needlessly hostile against an instance admin who is acting in good faith and apologizing for a previous action against one of our users. I was politely telling him to cool off and be nice. I apologize if my comment was misinterpreted as an endorsement of what he said. That said, while I understand many users aren’t fond of us at Hexbear, I would appreciate if you would not immediately jump to the worst possible interpretations of our comments.

For the record, I think the time and place for such rhetoric would be exclusively within the Hexbear instance, against agitators who are deliberately being hostile towards us. Outside of Hexbear, and with users who are at least trying to engage in good faith, I agree that Hexbear users are often too impulsive with escalating directly to dunks and spamming PPB. In this case, I thought the user was way out of line and I politely told them so. Apparently they agreed and deleted their own comment.

I know Hexbear users can be a bit much, but I think we’re capable of having level-headed conversations with other instances about toning it down whenever we step outside our own hive.

Not the time nor the place for this sort of rhetoric. Read the room.
