Why is the solarpunk memes community on this instance filled with such massively anti-left folks?

    If I had to wager a guess, it likely more of a backlash against .ml and hexbear more than anything, which are unfortunately the main ambassadors of “leftist” ideology on the fediverse. These instances legitimately make leftists look bad, to the point where it actually feels like it has come all the way back around as self parody.

        It is. A big tell is their vernacular. It’s not leftists. It’s someone else pretending to be.

        Another one is their interests or hobbies. They do not talk about these topics the same way the people they pretend to be because they are not the people they pretend to be.

        I’ve been chronically online enough to be able to get a sense of it. They often slip. Some times it’s so obvious it’s a kid who is trying to copy the more adept ones.

        A lot of minority subreddits on reddit are so fake too. It’s 21st century blackface minstrel shows. Easy to dupe casual users. If you’re chronically online long enough you can tell.

        ETA: This is conspiratorial as the people who get caught all the time forgetting to switch their alt accounts. Can’t reply to the mod for some reason so I guess I’m done here.

      Hexbear is good and most of the negative things people have to say about it are completely made up

        Idk about completely. They’ll just straight up slobber on Putin’s knob and it simply doesn’t make sense without the community being compromised by a troll farm somewhere.

        Xi at least has some deniability to his fascism and a hope of Da Revolushion turning a corner at some point. Putin’s literally just a fascist invading his neighbors out of rank imperialism.

          Yeah, this is the completely made up stuff I was talking about thanks for the demonstration. If you think anyone on hexbear is a fan of Putin you have obviously never opened the site even once.

          Also if you were being homophobic like this on hexbear you’d be banned, which is the correct position to take
