I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Again, you are not reading the links, nor are you interested in engaging in good faith. As an example:

    https://hexbear.net/post/3232536 - more “all Ukrainians are Nazi rhetoric”

    The comment was mocking the “no Ukranians are Nazis” rhetoric on a video of Ukranian soldiers with Nazi symbols on their helmets harassing an elderly Russian man. You aren’t interested in truth, but debate-broing.

    As for your definition of Imperialism, I quite specifically linked Lenin’s work on Imperialism as a stage of Capitalism, not merely invasion, yet you obscure that and push the dictionary definiton, again as a measure of bad-faith. Marxists specifically refer to international Monopoly Capitalism as Imperialism, something the Parenti video I linked you touches on well enough to give you a sufficient taste of Lenin’s Imperialism so you don’t have to read the book for this conversation, yet you twist words and pretend Hexbear is operating on a double standard by using the dictionary definition against a forum of Marxists using Lenin’s definition!

    It’s peak dishonesty, your other links are similarly dishonest readings out of context, hoping people won’t actually click the link and see what they really said.

    If you aren’t going to engage honestly, you need to logout and touch grass.
