I’ve been having a number of conversations on Hexchan recently trying to make sense of their politics. The most common instance of their hateful hypocrisy I’ve encountered is this constant assurance that they support trans people while immediately attacking and dog piling and trans people who point out that the situation would be much worse under Trump.

The hexchanners who aren’t actively Russian trolls seem to be little more than useful idiots for conservatives, minimizing the damage they do to vulnerable populations and engaging in high school level pettiness and hate.

      US liberals have become so hyper nationalist that they view everything to the left of the demokkkratic party as a some kind of orthodox duginist trumpist russian red fascist communist plot

      it is utterly incoherent

        I’ve come to the conclusion that a huge % of Americans are basically illiterate. They can read and write but have a childlike understanding of most things (while thinking they are enlightened).

          They have the fictional Adults In The Room that Make The Hard Decisions visible on screens and they just absorb those vibes to feel mature and smart.

        as much as they try to delude themselves, they see the writing on the wall for america’s decline

        they’ll get more and more reactionary as time goes by and their daily consumer treats are threatened

      A few days ago there was a federated liberal that accused everyone they were arguing with of being a “bot.”

      And they kept arguing with the “bots.”

      I’m not sure if we shared a definition of “bot.”
