Hello my comrades, this is my last week in uni before the 2 week vacation 
Remember no crackers 
A meme that perfectly describes HB
be like “ be like” but they the that be like!
Franz Fanon (1925-1961)Reminds me of every liberal subreddit as well. A bunch of whites calling every other sub privileged whites lol
wh*te
What is ‘HB’? :o
it be the site you’re on now
Oh… Lol I’m stupid
Well, hey, as some wise comrade once said:
“I may be stupid, but at least I’m not a liberal.”
Be proud of yourself.
I thought everyone on this site was a liberal tho?.. Except for that one guy who said that of course.
I’m the only true liberal on Hexchat.bear.

FD Signifier releasing video still caping for Kamala & the Dems
Well that’s disappointing. I stopped watching him a few years ago because I felt like I was spending too much time on YouTube instead of doing anything else. Like do I really want to spend 2 hours every day listening to video essays, even if they’re good topics? Didn’t realize he became more lib.
Idk if he’s gotten more lib or is just one of the folks who got a little brain fried by the election and the absurd naked fascism that has accelerated since - especially the El Salvador deportation stuff
Like Frivolous_Beatnik said, he’s not really more lib as much as its an, and I don’t really know of a better way of saying it, having the wrong reaction to whats going on. Prior to the election he had already more or less said that voting for Kamala wouldn’t be the worst thing to prevent a Trump presidency, although he wasn’t exactly endorsing her either. I haven’t watched the latest video, but when I saw it pop up on my feed I had a bad feeling. Its disappointing that he feels the need to go to bat for Dems when so many of his videos have pointed out how bad the party has been, especially when it comes to policing policy.
He still says they’re bad, but his vibe is that Kamala would’ve been significantly different and she was kept out of office by systemic racism and misogyny which, while that’s part of it sure, is still ignoring the effect that endorsing the most publicly visible genocide in history might have on the voting populace. That, and her essentially promising nothing would get better.
Racism and sexism does play into it, but less so in the primaries where it was obvious she wasn’t a good candidate. Dems still gush over Obama and Hillary Clinton. They simply don’t like Harris because she’s a slimeball. Minorities within the Democrats especially don’t like her because she’s a cop.
But really it’s like you said, she promised nothing would fundamentally change. Dems forgot Biden only won because Trump mishandled covid. Once Biden got into office? He allowed Trump’s policies to continue, including ignoring covid.
I know a lot of democrats were upset they didn’t get to vote in a primary to replace Biden. Even though they may have liked Harris, they still felt cheated she was automatically the candidate to replace Biden.
I don’t think liberals give enough of a shit about Palestine they’d stay home. While a contributing factor among independents outside of the party, within the party it was a combination of what I said above.
I can’t with this fucking weird-ass dream I had.
Okay, so basically, in this dream, I was in a college class or something like that, and I haven’t been in college for a bit. Weird.
And what I specifically remember is that there was this classmate of mine… he was a chubbier Black guy, looked a bit nerdy, wore glasses, and had somewhat spiky hair, and his name was “Lenward.” I specifically remember that people called him that because his first name is Leonard and his middle name is Edward.
So, here’s what’s weird(er than that): Lenward would, out of absolutely nowhere, during lectures, just start beatboxing really well, and then he’d lay down the most fire bars imaginable, and then his desk just started levitating, and he floated around the classroom while doing it, and everyone, including the professor, was just cheering him on like, “GO, LENWARD! GO!”
And, when I wake up, I’m like, “What the fuck was that?”
I keep having a recurring dream of being sent back to high school to redo my diploma and all my other high school classmates are there, including these two twins I barely knew who insist on bullying me this time around. I usually wake myself up when I kick the wall in self-defense.
And, when I wake up, I’m like, “What the fuck was that?”
Vibes. Just pure vibes (the good one; not the liberal one, ykwim?)
Lenward sounds extremely cool. Is this a real former classmate? Because if you’ve got any way to contact him he may get a kick out of hearing this dream
No, my mind made the dude up
Deadass.
Got offered a candidacy for PSL. Guess this is actually happening, I’m doing the joining an organization thing. Immediately I’ve been invited to multiple events, like some class on modern events, and some event for the Bernie’s tour to start converting progressive libs, to immigration “know your rights” classes and outreach.
It’s weird timing with what’s going on now, with Trump locking people up for thought crimes and such. They’re deporting people who look like me, not even being legal is protecting people. I’m fully legal, but how long will that stop them? Or hell, they could lock up my family in retribution (not to doxx myself too much but we’re not all from this country). I haven’t even done anything yet, I’m not a leader to make an example of, but am already a little nervous. I know that’s why they do their horrible stuff, to discourage people like me from joining together so we look out for ourselves instead of for each other.
Hope I don’t come off as some fake leftist or coward, it’s just thoughts I’ve had as the invites have rolled in. And I’m hoping getting these thoughts out will be like an exhale before rolling up my sleeves to finally do actual work (other than the noble art of posting, of course).
You may doubt yersel but I’d argue going through with the PSL candidacy is worth it, if you can help some people there.

The recent thread with the reactionary person posting these 1000-word screeds to shit on indigenous peoples’ knowledge had me really weirded out. I feel I started it all by saying “hey let’s not use shaman as shorthand for quack, it’s colonialist and racist to do so”. And apparently this very simple request led to a mini-struggle session.
I stg white people show their asses in weirder and weirder ways these days.
(also sorry, I keep forgetting the poc mega exists until i feel i need to vent with fellow non-mayo comrades)
Coming in late on this, but could you please link?
I think I’m taking a break for at least a week from political news. See way too many calls to invade El Salvador without even thinking about how this will affect people living in the area. I might even go to El Salvador myself because I do have family on my mother’s side living there. Just see the people and catch up with some familiar faces I haven’t seen in a bit.
I’ll be back and the rest of you stay strong, because God knows the whites are showing their asses on this issue.
take careAre people on Hexbear saying to invade El Salvador or libs elsewhere?
Who are Americans (presumably) even calling on to invade El Salvador and liberate the prison? The US military? Sick joke.
Its mostly libs in other social media calling for a US invasion

I’ve seen white chuds literally cite wealthy, successful Black people and people like Larry Elder and Thomas Sowell as “proof” that systemic racism isn’t real. You’d be surprised!
tip for any third worlders looking to move into the west: bring a nazi flag and a labcoat with you, that way they’d think you’re a nazi scientist and will let you join NASA or someshit
Nah, they loosened up, plus it’s the modern times.
All you have to do is say “Slava Ukraini” or say you’re a Zionist and they’ll grant you entryFor the more reactionary, just do that Elon Musk thing
Yeah, but you’d only become one of those low tier nazis that show up from time to time to yap in nationalist speeches you get me? imagine you taking a nice day nap a sciesta if you will and the right wing extremists of the U.S. wake you up and tell you to yap about how “I’m a literal Nazi yet I indorse Kamala Harris” fucked up shit yk, when you work with NASA you can get high speed internet and play Red Dead Redemption 2.

Well they ain’t wrong tbh
ICE raid happened in a few towns over in a supposedly “liberal” area. Not looking good. I really don’t trust the whites around me. They’d totally do something like call ICE on a school because they don’t like waiting behind busses in traffic.

Reminds me of an old song
“But if you ask me to bus my children, I hope the cops take down your name, so love me, love me, love me, i’m a liberal”
I’m sure all be fine (though that’s what people said at the start of the Holocaust lmao). I am worried about family around here, though, since only the younger millennials were born on US soil.
Ended up in twitter discourse, which is how I know my time there is ending.
I don’t know if sukimom is arguing that patriarchy doesn’t exist at all, and I don’t think she’s arguing it either, but she brings up very good points that specifically Black men are targeted by the state differently than other men and therefore do not have the same systematic patriarchal power. Where people are getting lost is the systematic ties to patriarchy, as opposed to individual. But these past few days on Twitter disgust me with these racist attacks on Black men as more violent, more sexist, evil, and therefore deserving of systematic oppression by the state. They even tried to bring in Indian men and Palestinian men as a gotcha that it’s not all Black men but men.
I hate MRA but am starting to recognize where some of their concerns are valid, specifically for Black boys and men. Misogyny and patriarchy affect both genders and race differently. Misogyny says women are meek but misogyny for Black women say we’re loud and powerful. Misogyny for men say they aren’t caretakers and don’t deserve diaper changing rooms in their bathroom, misogyny for Black men says anything they do wrong to a white woman deserves corporeal punishment.
Anyway, I don’t remember where I was going with this. Just some thought as my worldview is developing. Men of color are targeted by the state too even if they’re men, who historically have systematic power.

And thus is an example of why intersectionality exists.
My gut feeling is white feminist are stuck on being women, with a lowecase white, and therefore think because men have power, then Black men equally do as well, ignoring the Black part.

womanist have been talking about this since the 70’s. womanism was invented becuase of the way white feminist talking points were harmful to black men, boys, black families and queer people.
Some of the most annoying people on
made me realize why I dislike freiren so much now. With the new devil may cry netflix show out a lot of comparison is being made between the two shows with how the demons are protrayed. Freiren fans try not to be white supremacists challenge impossible 
holy shit I always had a lingering feeling why I didn’t like the show but pushed passed itspoiler
end of dmc more or less makes a great comparison to the war in Iraq to the invasion of the demon world and the amount of chuds/frieren fans that go see this is how you do it is right on pissing me off
The same tired defense for frieren I see is “they aren’t humans but animals that learned to mimic us to prey on us” is absolutely making me want to scream. Like that hasn’t been used on us by white people for ages to justify all the violence against us.Even if you wanna say this a different show fine different logic it’s apparent how anime fans just keep pushing for this to any group not fully “human” in their eyes. You even get people saying “sparda was one of the good ones” holy shit I’m angry
Frieren’s author(s) I think got too far into the meta. They were trying to subvert tropes in other series where demons can be good/be redeemed by returning to classic “Our demons are just evil, actually.”
No matter what your intentions, though, as soon as you make a “race” of ontologically evil, sentient beings, it will devolve into racist stereotypes. Tolkien fell into the same trap. I think the worst was Gary Gygax. He had colonialist, white supremacist, genocidal beliefs and he incorporated those beliefs into a game that became synonymous with fantasy. After decades, these tropes have spread, been subverted/remixed/parodied/etc. to the point people no longer recognize where these tropes originated. Unless you’re among the groups targeted by these tropes. Then it’s abundantly clear where these ideas came from.
Russians have been experiencing this with people calling them “orcs.” Jews are constantly subjected to the blood libel, then people go further by claiming Jews are goblins/faeries/small evil kidnappers/etc. Black and brown people are depicted as being humans mixed with animals or monsters, which is used to dehumanize us as feral, pagan savages. Israelis straight-up call Palestinians devils, so we know the impact fantasy tropes have on supporting genocide.
Personally, I don’t understand why it’s so difficult for people to admit there’s problematic content in the media they consume. Maybe it’s conditioning from being a leftist? We’re used to everything having reactionary, liberal bullshit, so it’s easier for us. Chuds, on the other hand, don’t want to expend the mental energy thinking about what they enjoy. They just want to consume.

Great way to put it, I’m very aware of Gyagx and his rhetoric of killing ‘evil’ races when they’re babies. It still happens among leftists I feel because they have just taken the story on face value and also don’t wanna look deeper. As a show I quite like frieren up until that point, the animation and score is amazing but then it just hits a wall for me there. I finished the anime and felt eh about it. Honestly wasn’t long since I finished dungeon meshi and made me appreciate it much more afterwards with how demons are portrayed there.
Also they forget frieren is diffent compared to most anime/manga in that in general demons arent fully evil beings or in some cases misunderstood or even good, its in the west where in general demons are seen as fully evil beings (from christianity).
its a bunch of fascists watching their first anime and then claiming all anime its like it
Fr I think on some extend a lot of these chuds know but are fine doing dog whistles. A somewhat good subreddit I follow just is full with an automod screaming at people “freiren demons are animals don’t look into it more stop ruining my fun” message. It’s why I’m starting to despise freiren fans more and more, even got glossed over by some friends once before I watched the show on this topic. Part of me is curious now about where the manga goes tbh I know most anime fans don’t watch the show or read the manga as is so maybe there’s more to it.
sigh

Is Whitey lurking our thread looking for bait so they can stir up struggle sessions?
Lol no, its just the constant frieren demon discourse that chuds have keep going for like a year now
Hope not but
if this thread does have eyes I’ll say this, remember your comrades are sensitive to dog whistles and in this context freiren being pushed over DMC is a glaring one in terms of demons. Arguing past it of how freiren is a subversion of demon meta ignores the current and historical context how media is dominated by white perspectives and the othering of different races (I’m aware freiren is made by Japanese authors but it borrows deeply from Tolkien and Gygax ( (also you made the point better just refreshing) ) so when I see comrades not getting it it is disheartening. A lot of people loudly arguing demons in frieren aren’t people remind me too much of liberals arguing how clearly that was a Roman salute or he was giving his heart to the audience. Also beanis hope you don’t mind me writing past you like this, don’t quite feel like going into that thread and debating 
don’t quite feel like going into that thread and debating
Me neither lol. Just thought it was odd that thread showed up right after it was brought up here (probably just a coincidence since DMC just came out and is popular).
Hoping it just a delayed thing of what I saw 🤞
