Left leaning? Every post I saw from them before finally filtering the instance was heavily right leaning and filled with everything you just claimed they are against.
The left right thing sometimes feel more like a circle and if center was at one end of the circle then tankies and the alt-right would be at the other end pretty to close to one another. They both want to own the people that are closer to center, they both have a love affair with Russia, they both deny genocides, they both believe in authoritarianism...
Yup, horseshoe theory. At a certain point, it's hard to tell authoritarians apart. I.e. why do you hate LGBT folks?
Different justifications, same net result. So on LGBT issues, I can't tell Stalin and Hitler apart. The same goes for a surprising number of other policies.
Yes, it's Kremlin/CCP propaganda. Both use social media to divide democracies. Divide and conquer on social media.
Left wing as in socially and econimically. Not sure what you mean by right wing.
They're communists, are very trans friendly, and deny genocide.
No they're not. They're damaging to socialist causes if anything.
Communists are often damaging to socialist causes.
Do you have any links to prove this right leaning behavior?
No, because I filtered the entire instance after the 4th "OwN duh LiBs" post.
They consider liberals too right wing, that's why they want to own them iirc
This is correct. They're way too the left of US liberals and are generally sick of the domination US liberals have in US politics. (The same can be said of the UK.)
FWIW i'm mostly with them on this. I'm an anarchist and also far left, though i didn't join their instance when i came to lemmy (obviously).
Unlike all those right wing LIBERALS. We do our own things. Denying genocide
As in it never happened? Because I've got a bridge for sale if so.
Well can you at least explain what was right wing about what you saw?
Bros unironically don't think liberals are right wing. What do you think they'll have to say? Right wing is when you shout "Death to Israel?"
Lol what are you even trying to say? The incoherence is funny considering you’re from a literature instance
What do you find confusing? It's a pretty simple statement.
Who is “bros”? If it’s hexbear, im pretty sure hexbear does consider liberals right wing
Opposing a genocidal ethnostate is right wing?
"Bros" are the people you are talking to, who are complaining that the hexbears call capitalists right wingers. The hexbears consider liberals right wing because they are.
The second is an example of something a hexbear might say that someone who doesn't know anything about politics might interpret as right wing thought.
This should be extremely clear to a reader who understands both the current discussion and underlying basic theory, unless they just assume anything they can't parse is an attack and lash out in attempted retaliation.
Consider requesting clarification in the future before you resort to personal attacks. Especially ones that say much about you, and not much about the person you are attacking.
You were responding to me asking about what was right wing about hexbear. Was it not reasonable that I assumed your response was referring to hexbear? Your reply was vague to the point of incoherence and I pointed it out, im not going to save your feelings in a thread where people are defending capitalism.
Anyways it seems we agree about opposing liberals from the left and opposing Israel so I’m going to disengage after this. Genuinely, have a good day!
Are you kidding? They unironically are fans of Stalin and other left wing ideologues. I have never seen a hexbear user who was anything but left wing.
