Told you guys they’re just going to make up excuses to hate us. Unsuprising that anti-communists would use NATO-like tactics
They also posted a nato flag with the words “gay right are non-negotiable” unironically, bunch of vaushites
No matter, I shall simply post harder.
The GDR insignia makes everything cooler
Big disagree.
State sponsored gay bars go brrrrrrrrrrrr
lol ya we know loser now get back in ur locker
Lol. Hie thee back to whencever rock thou lurk beneath!
QUEER ARE NON-RIGHTS NEGOTIABLE
lol originally I had the spacing between “queer” and “rights” as well as “are non-” and “negotiable” not be as big, but it was hard to read when they were on the white stripe. Alas.
Hell yeah.

Under the Allied occupation, some homosexuals were forced to serve out their terms of imprisonment regardless of time served in the concentration camps. The Nazi version of Paragraph 175 remained on the books of the Federal Republic of Germany (West Germany) until the law was revised in 1969 to decriminalize homosexual relations between men over the age of 21.
The allies marched gay people right back into the camps they liberated. LGBT people have been getting shit on for a long time, it’s disingenuous to act like it’s somehow specific to communists
That’s a GDR flag (also known as East Germany), at the time the GDR had some of the best LGBT rights in the region.
What does Stalin have to do with that? Not every communist symbol is Soviet. Please actually bother to do some basic research before responding.
I love that the lore for the GDR’s state funding of gay culture was a bunch of Stasi dorks sitting around a table going “gay people are a huge security risk because if NATO discovers them they could be blackmailed with the threat of being outed.” And then someone is like “well what if we just normalized homosexuality and funded gay culture, periodicals, clubs, discos, and made it safe and encouraged for them to be out in society?” And all the stasi people are like “brialliant!” Coming to the right conclusion in the most bizarre way.
Makes me think about how easy it was to turn US spies and intelligence agents because they always had housing or medical or gambling debt so the soviets could just offer them cash to cover the problems their salaries didn’t.
That’s fair, actually.
Hey! Thanks for visiting! You should check out Cuba’s family code!
Cuba is actually cool, I’ve thought that for a long time. Of all the Communists I think Castro did it best, and he made life measurably better for Cubans. I cannot say the same about the Soviet Union or the PRC.
I’m glad you’re supportive of Cuba. Thats a good step in the right direction. But I can’t agree with you about the USSR or PRC because while they both made humongous missteps quality of life on average measurably improved for citizens of both countries, and there are many statistics that show that. I’m more critical of both countries than most people here (I won’t even BEGIN to defend population transfers in the USSR) but I would still definitely argue against the idea that those countries didnt make “life measurably better” for the majority of their citizens compared to what came before those country’s respective revolutions.
who has the best laws for queer people in the world?
If we’re going to talk about random other socialist countries, Cuba has covered all costs of medical transition under their nationalised health service since 2008
Compared to literally every country in NATO, yes

Another blahaj user called it out and the user deleted it and apologized.Edit: I was thinking of a different post, but this was removed.
Not seeing this apology anywhere
My last post was a post equating NATO with gay rights with the caption “fuck tankies”. That is not the case. I simply found a screenshot on discord and posted it because I was unreasonably angry at hexbear due to the brigading of the discussion thread. Hexbear does have some nice people among their very politically charged communities. Have a picture of sleeping ducks instead.
It was but they thought better of it.
Ah, okay. I thought you were talking about the user posted in the OP of the thread
Oh my mistake, I got the posts mixed up, this was also removed but I don’t think the user apologized, sorry.
Yeah I checked their post history and nothing
deleted by creator
for the record this user has 130 comments in their community and has yet to be banned. letting 196 on a trans instance was a mistake, it would have been better to grab people from /r/traaa or tgcj
if anyone said anything extremely transphobic like this here theyd be banned instantly, longevity of the account or no
absolutely 100% what i’ve witnessed lurking on all the big active threads lately. people deliberately misconstruing what we’re saying, outright LYING about shit (like they were downvoted/called some slur that is on our filters), and just bullshit concern trolling about shit liek BriGaDiNG (you mean using the fucking website? lmao) allll that shit annoys me.
Saw one going off about how hexbear is shitting up lemmy.world - the site that famously pre-emptively defederated. And the mentioned claims of downvoting/slur use that are technically impossible. They really will make anything up nothing to stand on.
No the lemmy.world one is true. I’ve been hacking the internet and doing technomancy to make them post bad takes! 🤖
hexbear is shitting up lemmy.world
mf how?
No, we must appease them further. We must debase ourselves. We must constrict ourselves. We must put on the armour that Giovanni made for Mewtwo to constrict our powers and serve them. We exist to serve liberals their tepid, stale-ass ideology and memes on a webforum run by ostensible communists.
It’s really strange, I thought the alt right playbook vids were being overdramatic with the Nazi bar syndrome. I can’t tell if the concern trollers are unintentionally libbing out or just fascists doing their job to prevent any sort of left unity. Same thing maybe.
I don’t want to insult anyone by calling them a bot or a bad actor, but I feel more safe posting here than over in their supposedly “less troll” instance.
I think that response is weird. Feels like a nice pat on the back, “you see someone who’s a friend and is saying stuff that is good, but they’re bad, and you should cut them off. Also that’s a good sign that you have so many friends?” And an NPR podcast? Like it feels so on the nose I’m doubting reality
also referring to a community of people as “media”.
Not dehumanizing at all. Maybe this will help them feel more comfortable?
one tiny edit, the Word Of God should be located just beneath the Hexbear
it’s supposedly a sign that your minitory group has truly taken hold in society
Huge “I think the trans people have all the rights they need and are more than equal” vibes. 3 comments ever. Is funding the ko fi donations though, so maybe just a very poorly worded thing to say? I don’t think a right wing op would be donating to a pro trans blahaj lemmy instance as cover.
Yeah it might be more simple than that. The horrible thing about propaganda is you don’t need to have ill intent or even understand it, you just need to repeat it and the damage is done.

we are. we don’t agree on the meanings of basic words. like reactionary. and fascist.
100% this. We’re operating in fundamentally different and irreconciliable realities. We cannot both be right.i doubt most of them understand why we keep talking about history and theory and precedent, or trying to pull out citations and documents. That’s not how their world works.
being so treat brained I can only think of other people in terms of treats and treat-standins
God we’re not even trolls. We’re not trying to provoke people so we can laugh at them. That’s not what dunking is. Dunking is absolutely sincerely telling people what shitheads they are. The idea that most of us are 100% sincere and we absolutely do believe the libs believe what they say and we absolutely do care about their beliefs, take their beliefs seriously, and accord their beliefs exactly as much respect as they deserve is beyond them.
And ugh, fucking npr. I stopped listening years ago bc it was always “marketplace money”. Fuck npr, and the bill and melinda gates foundation.

Uhh, don’t you mean disinformatsiya? It was really funny when the news was going all out to say “fibbing is a well known russian tactic” a few years ago.
mods, if we’re going to make concessions to the other instances around our posting, they need to ban this kind of transphobic bullshit. that this user wasn’t banned is deeply offensive and rage inducing. how can they call themselves a queer instance and allow this kind of shit to stand? removing the comment is fine and all but it allows the user to continue posting this drivel at us whenever we post.
fr
This is a tangent, but have you talked with our friends over there about how 196 is extremely hostile to our existence and what is to be done about that? It seems like a sticking point.
Lol I DMed their admin asking her to reach out to 196 mods she said she didn’t feel comfortable doing that and said I could. I did and my DM was leaked and made fun of in a 196 post.
What was there to make fun of? “LOL this tankie is trying to address problems diplomatically”
They’re doing internet edgelord shit. Kindness and diplomacy are evidence of weakness. They’ve already decided we’re ontologically evil, and anything we do regardless of what it is proves that. Unfalsifiable orthodoxy.

Can we have our own defed vote, which ends 2 days before theirs?
My argument: I think it’d be funny.
I can’t stop you from organizing that
if there’s no willingness or ability to address mods who post harmful content towards trans and disabled comrades, I’ll do it.
imo we should find some way to forcibly federate and burn down 196
they send one of ours to the hospital, we send one of theirs to the morgue
Touch one, touch all.
You shouldn’t have had to take that
Especially since you were working so hard on putting out fires before they started
I am proud to advocate for Hexbear in the lemmy-verse the dev team, users, mods have all come together to make something special here.

she said she didn’t feel comfortable doing that and said I could.
wtf. She’s the fucking admin. Does the mod have a gun pointed to her head or something? This is completely ridiculous. “I have admin rights, but I can’t do anything to a subordinate who I personally appointed.” Don’t gimme that shit.
You’ve been had. She’s just the good cop in the good cop, bad cop routine.
It really does seem like she’s laying the groundwork to defed from Hexbear next week.
That whole thread is the first thing that makes me think we should actually defederate with them. The amount of bad faith is untrue, and allowing such an unprofessional mod is untrue.
Even after Ada made the request not to leak DMs, the response was just some awful bad-faith scribbling over it with a pencil and still keeping it public. Absolutely awful. Props to you for reaching out and trying to have a discussion
i mentioned it, seemed to get brushed off, could mention it again to stick it home later

You’re just showing how completely unfamiliar with anything to your left you are.
what is this replying to
“It gives off a massive Conservative pretending to be trans vibe / as a black man.”
Saying this gives off a massive “I have never seen criticism of liberals from anyone other than conservatives” vibe. This is clearly their first ever encounter with real leftists. They default to “these people are conservatives” whenever they see anyone say anything negative about liberals and this only occurs when you’ve literally never actually spoken to a single real socialist before.
You’re fair asking, I wasn’t very clear.
oooh ok
There are people here PRETENDING to be trans!?
This is unacceptable. Please report yourselves forthwith.
This is gonna bring out a lot of false positives with how common imposter syndrome affects the trans community. It’s me, I’m the fake trans.
Let me take a look at the readings…

no. such. thing.
Reading comments like this is actually upsetting, how are these people real and posting on blahaj
I have no idea, but the answer is probably liberalism
The nice thing about a hegemonic culture that pervades your whole observable world is you really can blame it for nearly everything.
It makes me sad a bit, because it sort of indicates a lack of connection to local community. I don’t think you can navigate irl queer community without running into some queer commie who doesn’t care about tone, or some enby chaos gremlin who likes to have fun.
It may not be your vibe, but if you can’t even contextualize what’s happening here, it’s a bit of a tell.

It’s also chauvinism, applying a political litmus test to declare who is trans- as if they have a monopoly on it or something.
The chaser stuff really bothers me too, I try to give people the benefit of the doubt when it comes to being horny, but when you’re doing shit like that in what are supposed to be trans spaces? and acting like you get to say what politics are allowed? just sends me into a rage

sorry you need some psychopathic conspiracy theory to justify your existence. but people just hate you
I’m not going to engage in the same erasure as this piece of shit but imagine if we all started highlighting how much of a concern troll/wrecker/“fed pretending to be trans” type of comment this is. I’m not saying it is that to be clear, it just reads like a goddamn fed and you don’t see us pissing ourselves and accusing others of not being trans.
It just feels like the libs have found out they are ineffective propagandised useful idiots and that it’s easier to demonise us than it is for them to grow and change as people.
Shout me when the terminally online lemmy gang log the fuck off and start doing community work/organising/mutual aid to improve our communities lives.
Oh and to any libs lurking: Throwing money at isn’t praxis you saddos. Go make some real goddamn change.
I’m not saying it is that to be clear, it just reads like a goddamn fed
“If you’re not a cop, you’re doing a cop’s job” applies. Wrecking (and similar conduct) is bad no matter who it’s from.
Fr fr but are we erasing someone’s transness when we call out the ? Nope.
Correct. My view is it’s not productive or necessary to get into who is or isn’t a cop, because at the end of the day it’s unknowable. Wrecking/other disruptive conduct is the problem, so I tend to focus on that.
100%
Everything that I’ve seen from that instance is duplicitous two-faced behavior. I think some people here are still caught up with federation hype. Carving a space for trans people on Lemmy doesn’t need to look like a federation of trans instances. It could also look like one giant instance where transphobes, terfs, enbyphobes, chasers, and other reactionaries get sent to the blender and any instance that dares to traffic transphobia receives a warm visit from the All Active Army.
Yeah it was a shame because even as a lurker I was kinda excited to see it blend but after watching the little shit storm kick off its just disheartening.
Hey, they could be a fed and still actually trans. The CIA is very progressive about who it hires as Gestapo agents.
But really I think they are a youngish trans liberal in denial.
Nice to see the CIA entering the progressive modern age 😍💯🔥👌
I hope so and that they eventually learn how gross that comment is.
It is only by accepting that we are all cringe that we can become truly based.
I can absolutely believe this isn’t a fed or an op, just a smug asshole with terminal cerebral mccarthyism. It’s such a mindless, foolish thing to say.
These guys are everywhere online these days.
Some of them are. It’s difficult to tell if they’re using bad arguments in good faith or bad faith, but it is so obviously transparent they have a problem when you engage with the user and they resort to insults or act like they’re being attacked
It’s so frustrating because I’ve been in discords where that same blood thirsty viscious anti communism proliferates.
These people will be in for a nasty shock when they realise most unions have some flavor of marxist in leadership positions lmao. But I’m assuming libs are pro union so maybe that’s on me for being naive.
That kind of pig headed, stupid, aggressive ignorance has been very frustrating during this whole experiment with federation.
It’s beyond a joke. I’ve had it in discord, irl orgs, protest groups, one issue movements massively, even my own union.
Every time you let these chuds open their mouths they ruin another chance at helping people who need it.
Makes my queer blood boil 😤

It’s not against the rules, as it stands
True, only top level comments.
Wait, did you mean this post, or going over to the thread to dunk, because the latter is in fact against the rules
Maybe I am misunderstanding the rules but I think it’s technically allowed to call them out as long as no one posts the url here. However, I think that would be a dumb idea and suggest against it. It’s also probably not in the spirit of the rule.

We have a theory comm if that’s what you mean, and one for marxism more specifically as well.
Not really. A lot of it is agitating content but I don’t come here to agitate liberals because that’s insufferable. I’d do that on reddit if it accomplished anything. Hexbear is just dadaist shitposting for existing leftists.
