Show me a post on hexbear that is supportive of trump.

No one on hexbear supports trump. Unlike the democrats, who used the pied piper strategy to support his campaign in the 2016 primary and who ran appallingly bad candidates against him because their donors pay them to lose.

Luddism is when people question the torment nexus 🤓. I am extremely intelligent because Autocomplete With Extra Steps tells me so.

Imagine thinking that democracy has ever existed in the USA. The only thing that changes people's minds (i.e., teaches people to have empathy for other human beings) is re-education camps.

How has no one mentioned War and Peace, one of the best movies ever???

It’s all for show.

Remembering how in the last of us some people say they live in a communist town, and it’s literally a fascist Zionist enclave. I suspect that even if movies and TV shows and books had characters turning to the camera and saying “communism is good,” liberals would say that “communism” here means supporting your local police department.

Thanks for this lovely quote.

I wonder what it is that keeps even the most politically engaged, and highly educated libs, like the one you are referring to, on the treadmill for so long?

The system is still working well enough for them to not really question it too deeply. They see Drumpf mucking things up on MSNBC, but their daily lives are still basically the same, and treat-filled. (This is why they get angry and not curious when you tell them that it’s possible to change things without necessarily voting or doing peaceful protests.) For me at least, as a liberal I sacrificed so much to the system and just kept getting fucked so hard in return that (with the proper guidance) I couldn’t help but start asking deeper questions.

The downfall of the empire is inevitable. The only question is, how many people are they going to kill along the way?

This is why Heinlein was artistically correct to spend so much time in Starship Troopers ranting about how spanking kids is good, actually.

Before I even read this article I just want to say that I read hundreds of pages of bleak house, but couldn’t finish it because I just thought it was really boring.

Edit: okay I’m reading the article now. I always liked the beginning of bleak house though. It’s depressing that so few people seemingly have the ability to enjoy it.

Spoiler alert, but I remember that there’s a character in this novel who proves he can read by writing a single word on a chalkboard, and then later in the novel he just randomly explodes, I think.
