I really have no problem with communist or leftist views, but some of those guys need to take a chill pill. I’m cool with bashing the fash and social welfare programs, I’m not cool with basically talking about how everyone to the right of Stalin needs to die or how Tianenmen Square was a wholesale fabrication by the west. I typically just roll my eyes, block the bullshit and move on with life, but it’s been really dragging down my lemmy experience.
Tianenmen Square
Perhaps if you can’t even spell the name of the place right then you have no business talking about it and your opinions are worthless noise. Also you know the guy who wrote the lemmy software agrees with us on this topic and writes about it on his github right? Perhaps reddit is a better place for you if you want your echo chamber back.
We’ll, then it’s a good thing you used improper capitalization of proper nouns, or your opinion might mean something.
woosh.
Look, dude. I don’t have beef with you, and I can’t fathom that you really have beef with me, we’re just randos on the internet. I misspelled it, and I’m not proud of that, but this kind of interaction is what I’m talking about when I say “need to take a chill pill”.

“Tianenmen Square was a wholesale fabrication by the west”
No one on Hexbear claims that and if they did they’d be thoroughly ridiculed for it. I was active in that thread, the spread of opinion was pretty wide, but no one advocates anything close to what you posted above.

Wasnt there literally a huge thread on hexbear about Tiennamen just the other day? It was incredibly nuanced and far from whatever this dude is summarizing it as.

Yes and yes.

I mean, arguing about whether I really read what I claim to have read is going to be about as productive as shouting at clouds. I’m pretty sure I read it, and I honestly thought it was satire at first, but the comments changed my mind. Idk, maybe I ate the onion on that one.
The point is that I feel that that’s an (admittedly extreme) sample of the kind of content I’ve been getting through Hexbear.

I’m not trying to argue with you (and here wouldn’t be the place to get into it) but that characterisation is false and I stated such for the benefit of other readers, try and change your mind.

This post may be what they were referring to. There is at least one highly upvoted comment saying no one died, and several saying it was a western fabrication.
