Is your question why a propaganda operation focused on disrupting or presidential elections would “go live” 18-ish months before the presidential election?

If your assumption that Hexbear is just bots and propaganda was true, why would it remain isolated for 4 years, with posters talking only to each other? 4 years of training? And, correction on your part, it started federating 10 months ago, not 18.

It makes more sense for these to be people with genuine views and aligned interests.

And are you asking if I have specific evidence that they’re trolls? Or that the governments I’ve listed have troll farms? Or that specifically HB is specifically rife with trolls from this governments’ farms? Because I definitely don’t have specific evidence. Just the historical evidence of (attempted) general interference from those countries in our previous elections.

So you don’t, you’re just accusing people you disagree with of being propaganda agents and bots, despite them existing for 4 years in pure isolation. That’s silly.

For context, the Nazis took 6 million POWs and murdered 3 million. Far higher death rate, far higher in totality. The Nazis destroyed large parts of the USSR and murdered millions of Soviet civilians and POWs.

I think HB and some of the other groups are mostly trolls or Russian, Chinese, Iranian, North Korean, or aligned operatives trying to gas up trolls or wannabe trolls.

Do you have any evidence of that at all? Why would Hexbear remain as an isolated instance for 4 years then, only beginning federation in the last year?

In case you’re being sarcastic, West Germany was not de-Nazified to any real extent, the Western Powers were extremely lenient on punishing Nazis in general.

Funny and probably would have dramatically changed the world stage as it exists today.

Wonder what the world would look like today if Germany had been thoroughly purged of Nazism, rather than a slap on the wrists.

It says in the article, “West Germany.”

To be fair, OP is also a blahaj user. Lemmy.world’s issues aren’t exclusive to Lemmy.world users.

The west didn’t purge the Nazis hard enough.

Literal Nazi apologia? Upvoted on Lemmy.world? Color me shocked!

Someone who goes fishing for fights online.

It is definitely failing lol but idea that some strong man is going to come to save us from the current strong men is laughable ;)

When you’ve definitely read theory

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.

So, nothing, gotcha.

The platform was never there, lmao. It isn’t deplatforming. Hexbear has a democratic federating process that takes longer.

In what manner does Hexbear advocate for expanding predatory IMF loans to the Global South, and exporting machinery and industrial Capital directly to the source of the Raw Materials so as to over-exploit the Global South by directly owning these sources of production?

On what bounds do you say that? If they read Leftist theory, advocate for Leftism, and attack Imperialism and Capitalism, then they are Leftists.

My Lemmy.ml account is my older account, I’m defending Hexbear from misinformation right-wingers are spreading.

It isn’t “deplatforming” if Hexbear has always been self-sufficient and started platforming with other instances.

They aren’t mad though, they enjoy the instances they are federated with and are happy they defederated sh.itjust.works and that Lemmy.world “pre-emptively as a last resort” defederated them before even federating.

Having a dedicated Leftist space without constant liberalism is nice.

These pathetic foxes are pissed they’ve been neutralized by defederation.

Hexbear has been around for 4 years, unfederated. It wasn’t until 10 months ago that they started slowly federating. At least try to be honest.

That real lefties, even communists don’t take them seriously.

Who determines what a “real lefty,” or a “real Communist,” if not Communists who regularly read theory, talk about it, and post memes that require understanding theory to even get?

It’s just 4chan cosplaying communism. Truly despicable.

Do you genuinely believe people would put in that much effort to meme amongst themselves something they don’t agree with?
