After spending a couple days interacting with them, I have come to agree with the common sentiment hexbear already had that it's probably not worth trying to persuade a small number of steadfast neoliberals among those of us with limited patience, which includes myself.

If I'm a wimp and you still want to go buck wild, of course.

But the suggestion I got that .ee would probably be a better staging ground is at this point taken to heart. Since we are federated with them, I think the thing to do is make (appropriate, non-hostile) posts in .ee communities where the purpose of the comm adequately fits with topics that it would be useful to discuss.

As with my last post, which was misbegotten, it's just a thought I had

I want to believe that, but the most recent and particularly disgusting liberal visitor to a Hexbear thread had the .ee suffix. The posting wasn't even about political shit; it was an out of nowhere all out concern trolling offensive in heroic (and performatively apathetic) defense of... fucking Pearl Jam.

Apparently not liking Pearl Jam makes you 12 years old and (ableistic insults here). Also chanting "who cares" and "no one cares" magically banishes the "NPCs" that came there to say Pearl Jam was mid or even sucks. How dare they, in a thread that was about someone saying Pearl Jam sucked.

I saw that person too, though not whatever protracted discourse went down. I'm not saying we can reach anyone anywhere. Hell, I don't think we can reach everyone on Hexbear. I just think we can reach enough people that it's worth a shot.

I want to believe. I don't know enough about .ee suffix people to know for sure.

I know heil.hit.ler is way too far gone, and brogramming.chud is a bootlicking clownshow.

No one criticizes a liberal's treats without consequences. No one. maybe-later-honey

There are people that care about Pearl Jam?

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 4 points 3 days ago

Apparently, yes. And those people care so much about Pearl Jam that they performatively "could care less" and get really mad about Pearl Jam getting criticized about chant "who cares" and "no one cares" while accusing the naysayers of being 12. Because maturity is all about performatively not caring and getting mad about it.
