We also have a more mixed demographics over at the news megathread (Bulletin and News Discussions, pinned at the top) but that’s only if you’re interested in international geopolitics as that’s what most of the discussions there are about.

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 37 points 7 months ago (3 children)

Ofc I am interested in those things ,I’m just sick of seeing the comments of reactionaries

Glad this exists

[–] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 28 points 7 months ago (15 children)

The reactionaries on the lemmyverse will often show up to do single drive-by comments here on Hexbear, but they never do it in the news mega because they fear our power and effortposting

Yeah, there's no denying the melanin deficiency here, but I think most of us are able and willing to recognize the privilege we have that comes along with being bleach demons. Speaking for myself at least, and from what I've seen it's true of much of the community around here, we are learning to stfu and listen when a person of color tells us we're wrong, misunderstand something, or are just being dumbass crackers. So feel free to put us in our place when that happens. I'd like to think that most of the community here will appreciate it rather than immediately get defensive and chauvinistic like most other chromatically bland spaces. Anyway, welcome!

Reddit is filled with crackers that don’t know their place 😆

And I mean It seriously here ,yk the racist comments they make like “The Middle East has been at war for centuries” (which are blatantly wrong)

You have our full support whether your resistance is violent or nonviolent.

We don't have demographic data for obvious reasons, but yeah, we could stand to have more non white members join, but unfortunately that's the state of the western left in the US.

Welcome comrade. This site has a collection of extremely good emotes that you can use to decorate your posts, probably the best collection out there. Enjoy your stay!

Welcome fidel-salute-big we have our problems, but it's usually fun as long as we're not doing a pointless struggle session on something silly or confusing new users by speaking in weird terms that exist only on hexbear.

Also we love posting PIGPOOPBALLS to lib/fash trolls that wander in trying to start bad faith fights with us (though some think we do it too much).

Enjoy our oversized emojis denguin

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago

I like them

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 23 points 7 months ago

Consider the humble Denguin...

Salam and I'm glad you're here! I hope you know Palestine has the support and admiration of communists and anarchists all over the world. We're you're comrades and we'll all work together for a brighter future.

Also we're really gay and trans and we like memes and pictures of owls

[–] MohammedTheCommunistPalestinian@hexbear.net 30 points 7 months ago

I am a communist why are you telling me 😅

I know ofc

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 32 points 7 months ago (1 children)

Saludos Mohammed. The resilience and strength of the Palestinian resistance is being watched by those of us in the global south and has become a source of inspiration to many. Some of our governments may be beholden to Israel but there are many of us who wish to see Palestine be freed from colonial rule and oppression.

Palestine will never die, partly because there is someone with Dr. Tenma as their pfp living in the West Bank.

I look forward to seeing you around comrade. What sorts of books and manga? Chess is interesting but I am lousy at it, anyone who knows how to play that without losing miserably every time is someone to respect...
