Yeah? Can you provide even 1 example of someone on Hexbear posting something a) civil and b) not fascist?

And the admins of Hexbear are relentlessly pro-CCP, implying that they’re homophobic.

It may well be “leftist”, but it’s also maximum authoritarian. Hexbears love fascism like a raccoon loves trash. If you’re anything but a full-on Nazi, absolutely including being a genocide denier, you’ll be relentlessly attacked on there.

I have the entire instance blocked in my client, so I can’t even go searching for a thread for you. But if you don’t, it should be incredibly easy to poke the hexbear, so to speak. Lemme grab you a link…

Here, this one should work. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persecution_of_Uyghurs_in_China

Find an appropriate sublemmy on Hexbear and post this, ideally in a context that explicitly declares you oppose genocide. You’ll get nothing but the following in your thread:

1. Accusations that you are a “shitlib”. Any attempt by you to find out what this word means will result in additional mockery.
2. Denials of the Uyghur genocide.
3. Adoration of the CCP, especially Xi Jinping (but Hexbear likes any authoritarian tyrant in China, so any CCP politician may end up adulated).

You thankfully appear to have not been exposed to a “proper” hexbear thread where all they can do to communicate is call you a shitlib for doing things like acknowledging genocide.

How bad are these that Hexbear didn’t even make the list? Drilling through on the clickable version here makes it clear that the #1, poa.st, has the same basic content as Hexbear, but I’m assuming it’s somehow way worse. Just imagine.

There’s no reason that I couldn’t check someone’s ID at my hypothetical farmer’s market stand.

No reason other than discussing in good faith, which means not moving the goalpost. You set the original hypothetical of cannabis being legally equivalent to squash, not me.

And the bigger ones around here have dudes that sell like microbrewed meads and shit, so you can’t tell me it’s not already happening.

Again, you set the original goalpost of discussing legal status.

There is no state in the country where tobacco isn’t age-restricted, which is what I’m focused on here. It’s incredibly normal and routine for us to restrict certain things behind being a legal adult.

Making cannabis or tobacco equivalent to zucchini would be a complete sea-change in how we think of minors and their decision-making abilities.

You can’t do that with tobacco, why allow it with cannabis?

Trump is, somehow, the worst President we’ve ever had, despite very stiff competition. You have a very sus definition of “goat”.

Christian AND Slater, wow!
