What type of society do you think would allow you to burn other people to death and string up their corpses? Is it one that you think would be an improvement over modern China?
Everyone knows what you meant, but it’s an ecofascist talking point, and doesn’t engender respect for you.
Chinese Kremlin propaganda no less
I’m not familiar with most of these but I drove 2 hours to see Jukebox the Ghost play in the second story of a church when I was like 19, and Stars is probably my number one favorite band, so I may have to check out some of your other entries here.
Edit: The Jukebox the Ghost show was really cool btw, they wouldn’t let them do an encore in the upstairs part of the venue but they agreed to let the keyboardist do a solo encore on the church’s organ on the first floor.
This poor boy. A child should never experience this kind of trauma.
This genocide will be a stain on humanity for eternity. Anyone supporting Israel should be ashamed of themselves. This is what they support.
Really makes Boris Johnson sabotaging those earlier peace talks look like it’s responsible for a bunch of death and destruction and nothing else huh.
If you’re concerned about talking heads putting a spin on something, maybe you’d like to see some on the ground reporting from within southern Gaza?

Warning, I guess, it’s CGTN, but the reporter is in front of a hospital in Gaza and discusses what she’s seeing (and you see with your own eyes) for about 10 minutes.
Wait, so your ideal is instead of negotiations, in the same vein as Afghanistan, Ukraine experiences this horrible war for another 9 years and then becomes a state ruled by the fighters involved in the war with the most extremist far right ideology rule it as a theocracy? To be clear that ideology in this case is Nazism.
You don’t sound like an ally of the Ukrainian people.
Cannot wait to see how well this comment ages. All the Hexabear stuff is just comedy gold in the long run. Thank you for spending your life force creating it.
Can’t imagine thinking commentary, wrong or right, about brutal trench warfare, could be comedy gold.
The edit was to edit the number of people Iranian police killed during the Jina Ahmini protests
Nah, you’re lying. I do specifically remember you comparing official execution numbers of Iran, Saudi Arabia and America (~600, ~100, and 18, respectively) to try to make it sound like the US was less murderous. I don’t know why you’re doing this but you’re being dishonest in a way that both paints the US to look less violent than it’s foreign enemies (and it’s allies too, as long as their foreign enough. They’re certainly not as bad as Iran though, right?) and then obfuscates the fact that you’re doing that and I don’t know why a multiple year old Hexbear account would do that but I do remember the general thrust of the original comment.
EDIT: actually I was wrong, we can confirm that you’re lying, look at this quote from GarbageShoot’s response to you
For instance: In 2022, Iran had minimum 596 executions (likely more), Saudi Arabia had 146, the US had 18,
Well you edited your original response right after seeing this but your original comment talked about how the US only killed 18 people last year but these foreign countries in the middle east were more violent and killed hundreds, and how, even if you include police brutality this still “stands true.”
It’s hard for me to include your exact words since you took steps to obscure them but I think if you’re honest with yourself you can admit you were downplaying the violence committed by the US on its populace relative to Iran.
Even if you include ‘killed by police’ (or, in some cases, killed by militia) this stands true.
US pigs killed nearly 1100 people in 2022 and we’re not even getting into all the social murder committed by our for profit medical and housing industries. I can’t believe I’m seeing this whitewashing of American government malfeasance from a Hexbear user.
If you don’t want to talk to someone from Hexbear don’t reply to someone from Hexbear’d comments for a start.
Of course since you’re not OP it’s really not your place anyways to say which instances can and can’t respond to them.
Visualization of our society becoming hyper atomized in real time. Can’t meet via friends if you have no friends.
Yeah, clearcut good is when a government starts building monuments to Holocaust perpetrators, and banning minority languages including Yiddish, followed by a decade of bombing ethnic minorities in a border region.
We used to allow downvoting, we just got rid of it to stop trolls from making multiple accounts to downvote every comment from people they disliked (specifically trans users were getting their comments brigaded like this) and it turned out to be a great choice because it encouraged discussion if you disagreed with someone.
Also we’re definitely not “Russian or CCP farmed trolls” why would they have paid people to talk amongst themselves for three years? I mean I could really use the supplemental income so I wish, been putting off car repairs for months due to finances.
You could go to an instance that blocks us, like Lemmy.world if you are that scared of communists.
Alternatively this third party app Pretty Private Browsing has instance blocking features I think, but I don’t care for the UI personally.
Final option I guess is to cry about it?
Houses were already out of reach for a huge segment of the population, but that segment is just growing and growing.
Even people who already own homes basically can’t move ever because getting a new mortgage is crippling, unless you owe nothing on your house and can buy the new one in cash.
