Oh I see, I assumed the article was going to be “north korea is making animated versions of existing films for silly reasons”, because the article started with “north koreans are only allowed to use the internet with someone else sitting right next to them and approving every 5 minutes”
- Comment on North Korea is evading sanctions by animating Max and Amazon shows 8 months ago:
Why would they do that instead of pirating it?
Where are the files?
This seems like one of those news stories about North Korea that nobody bothered to verify, let alone think critically about.

The evacuation ones were basically impossible at 8+, I was shooting down 3/4 ships and we’d still get overrun.

Those other entries are all insane.
Like OK I can understand stealing a loose hair, kinda creepy but w/e, but her shoe? Is this some kind of gaslight where she thinks nobody would steal only one shoe, so it must be around somewhere, then a week later you can be like “Hey, I found this shoe, it looks alot like your old shoes? btw, why do you keep rubarb in your shoes?” and “What/who are you getting 9 units of fresh blood from?”

That seems insane to agree to, like it incentivizes the company to fire people the day before their stock is fully vested.

Apologies, there’s been numerous people making things up about hexbear.

The government of the US does have its flaws, but it is by absolutely no means authoritarian.
It has more people in prison than any other country, both in absolute and per capita. As for democracy, letting the people choose between two candidates that represent the dictatorship of the bourgeoisie and pass laws accordingly, is not democratic. [This is evidenced by the actions of the that always benefit the capitalist class over the working class.](www.princeton.edu/~mgilens/Gilens homepage materials/Gilens and Page/Gilens and Page 2014-Testing Theories 3-7-14.pdf)

He just relayed what he read in the lemmy.ca thread, wtf are you going on about?

brigade
It’s not brigading, this is the top thread on both of our instances and the admin OK’d our input. blahaj had 2 Hexbear federation threads, one including everyone and one just for blahaj users.
Also hexbear doesn’t have downvotes, so we have a culture of responding to add or refute information.
debate ideology
We’re pretty disdainful of debate culture. A discussion where both people are trying to appeal to a third party instead of have a genuine discussion is inherently in bad faith.

We’re still federated actually. Could you have us confused with Lemmygrad.ml?

Is being an asshole back to the guy really productive, here or in general?
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
I’ve seen more posts complaining about Hexbear than actual objectionable things they’ve done
I’ve seen a few posts from instances we’ve never federated with claiming outlandish things about hexbear such as that we’re unmoderated, they’re controlled by ExplodingHeads, that we overwhelmed the moderation team at Lemmy.world (who once again, we were never federated with), accusations of racism/misogyny/transphobia, etc. There’s at least a couple people who’re just making shit up, but that’s to be expected.
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
downvotes
Must have been from another instance. Hexbear removed downvotes because some transphobes were using sock accounts to manipulate votes and create a hostile environment for our trans comrades. This has the added effect of encouraging people comment if they disagree rather than silently downvoting. In the short term, it makes threads as chaotic as this one, but in the long term, everyone gets a more nuanced understanding of the various issue even if they don’t come to an agreement.

You want a thing to be given away for free without compensation.
Except I do want you to be compensated, for the labor of building the home. Everything beyond that is theft.
What you really want is others to give you an equal share even though you haven’t done anything to earn it and I fucking have.
You are the one expecting others to work for free. You are demanding a greater amount of wealth from the renter than you’ve produced.

Pol Pot
The fascist whose faction was put in power by the US, that was overthrown by Vietnamese communists? Whose gov’t-in-exile the US supported against the communist People’s Republic of Cambodia until 1993?
That’s some “hitler was a socialist”-level bs
- Comment on Hexbear federation megathread 1 year ago:
where are you expecting people to live?
In houses. There’s dozens of vacant homes for every homeless person. Just as capitalism requires some people be hungry to maximize profit of food, it requires some people be homeless to maximize profit of landlords.
These homes are owned by someone- they worked/paid/built them themselves.
The people who build houses deserve to be compensated for their labor. Owning a house on the other hand, is not labor.
Why do you think these people who have toiled for 40+years should just give you there invested money/work for free?
Rent isn’t compensation for the construction of a home, otherwise the renter would own the home after 20 years of renting paid off the mortgage.
Why are they evil for using something they have worked for to help themselves?
I’d categorize the parasitic relationship as evil, but as for judging individual people for the poverty and homelessness caused by that relationship, it’s more complicated as we live under capitalism.
Inevitably someone like you comes along and just shitposts this same rhetoric you just did with no logical backing behind it other than “evil landlords must die and be redistributed”
Are you talking about the description of the cultural revolution in that one province in China people post? In the context of generations of peasants seeing their children die of starvation-related disease or conscripted never to return, the people were more merciful and practical than just. It’s easy to criticize any change if you ignore the violence of the status quo. To quote Mark Twain:
THERE were two “Reigns of Terror,” if we would but remember it and consider it; the one wrought murder in hot passion, the other in heartless cold blood; the one lasted mere months, the other had lasted a thousand years; the one inflicted death upon ten thousand persons, the other upon a hundred millions; but our shudders are all for the “horrors” of the minor Terror, the momentary Terror, so to speak; whereas, what is the horror of swift death by the axe, compared with lifelong death from hunger, cold, insult, cruelty, and heart-break? What is swift death by lightning compared with death by slow fire at the stake? A city cemetery could contain the coffins filled by that brief Terror which we have all been so diligently taught to shiver at and mourn over; but all France could hardly contain the coffins filled by that older and real Terror—that unspeakably bitter and awful Terror which none of us has been taught to see in its vastness or pity as it deserves.
How is a house different from a farm? Or a rail system? Or a insert anything created by someone and used for personal gain?
It’s not.
