I've made several alts over the years and it's wild to see how badly wreckers fumble on sounding like a leftist.

I used to think I needed to build more credibility before making a post, but it's not the case at all. If you're cool and stay consistent in your values, people here are so willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Thanks for being a cool community who bans transphobes, debate lords, and chuds.

You see it all the time with how they pretend to be black. They'll type out some 1980s parody version of AAVE and think they sound convincing. My favorite, though, is the whole "As a life-long democrat, I'm no longer part of the looney left."

Any actual leftist wouldn't mention membership to the democratic party except as a source of radicalization lmao

The main problem with trolls and wreckers who pop up here is that they have no education, whether its politics in general or this site's history

So when they start yapping like strawman versions of us, we spot them immediately

When a longer-term Hexbear account has a reactionary meltdown over a specific treat or struggle session, I sometimes wonder if they were some kind of more successful infiltrator that finally lost their patience and couldn't wear the mask any longer. Sometimes those meltdowns are remarkable, almost like a shapeshifter losing their disguise shape.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 52 points 2 months ago (1 children)

If I can pointificate I would say it's equally likely to just be someone who has a personal experience which gave them a reactionary stance on a specific issue, hence meltdown. Always wild to see a ban on a four year account tho.

I'm glad that HexbearGPT and their "ironic" edgy bullying and veiled bigotry was finally banned. Flew "ironically" too close to the sun at last. sickarus

I think you put it best when you said they were buried under so many layers of irony that they didn't even know who they were anymore.

[–] HexcraftDirtFarmer@hexbear.net 23 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You are who you pretend to be, it's pretty simple. The results can be kinda awful to face tho.

"Hello fellow leftists, I have this new ideology called "trickle-down anarchy" where the anarchy trickles down from the state! Pretty cool huh?"

My "favorites" are the ones who believe we're all frothing NazBols who hate minorities

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 43 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Sometimes we get nazbols here. Remember that "OrganizeOrDie" nazbol that was wishing death upon people with depression?

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 41 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I do not in fact remember this person, and based on your description of them, that's something to be thankful for.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 34 points 2 months ago

They were called OrganizeOrDie, but they made something like ten alts over the next few days, screaming increasingly mass-murdery power fantasies about what (ableist slurs here) deserved for failing their idea of what real revolution ought to be.

Did somebody actually get banned for (presumably) getting mad/hostile over a lawn discussion? lol, lmao even.

My favorite was that one who simultaneously started a thread that seemed perfectly innocuous and normal while immediately tossing out slurs in another thread

It's like, the site ain't that big, you're on the front page smearing yourself with shit and going "I am a normal leftist, like you all"

Ok I was offline for like... 20 hours tops. What happened this time?

[–] Cammy@hexbear.net 27 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Nothing to my knowledge. I was just reflecting on my new account and how nobody has ever given me shit while my alts were new.
