I’m not sure what’s going on over there, but half the time I see a post from there or go into a comment section and it’s just…bad. Like old reddit the_donald bad. Constant trolling, etc. You TS just really bad vibes. I’ve been blocking the communities as they come up, but I’m not sure what else I can do.

    I’ve had some interesting and insightful conversations with people from Hexbear for the last few days. However, we did reach a point where people from Hexbear started defending the Taliban and North Korea. There are tankies on Hexbear. Probably a lot of them. It’s something people should know.

      I think that was just me and what I was saying – which you are wildly misrepresenting – is that I’d rather the Taliban be in charge of Afghanistan than the US, because with a local government rather than a colonial government there is a much better outlook for positive change due to local sentiments (and protest, etc.)

      As I told you then and will repeat: I do not like the Taliban. This isn’t about “liking” anyone, it’s about the US colonial occupation not being a model for anyone in the country making progress except for a small handful of compradores.
