    Ever wanted to be talked down to by a 14 year old alt-right sociopath who pretends to support lgbt so they can stealthily insult liberals and blame western whites for how China is?

    holy fuck I laughed out loud at this outside by myself at ten to 1am … I didnt know what hexbear was, soooo, I reported a post for saying that anyone who ever supports a democratic candidate in america needs to be hit by a truck, and that violence needs to befall them, so the mod I reported it to posted my username and announced I had reported it in a comment to that post. people then piled on saying how I was a hypocrite and deserved violence brought against me, because violence has been done by cops agains homeless and trans people. also, that all I care about is getting brunch

    lmao these people are so willfully ignorant it’s amazing.

      What even is the alt-right anyway? To me it feels like a term that was created by libs a decade ago to just describe fascism.

        It was definitely created by fascists, but it was equally useful to libs and “normal” conservatives to pretend that there’s some kind of distinction between fascists and mainstream political figures. It was only ever a branding exercise, but now it doesn’t even nominally refer to a distinct faction. Anyone who takes it seriously isn’t paying attention.

        I feel like it cropped up around 2016 to describe the people who held the exact same beliefs as every elected republican but were actually honest about their beliefs instead of starting every sentence with “I’m not racist buuuttt…”

        Have to differentiate them from liberal darlings like the fucking Rodney’s, McCains, and goddamn Cheyneys.

      so the mod I reported it to posted my username and announced I had reported it in a comment to that post.

      I don’t remember doing that, have other mods started to do the thing too?

      Edit: I got the answer, it was zooms who named and shamed that clown
