Hexbear is super trans inclusive (50ish% of users are trans per the last survey) and bans transphobia instantly, you may fit right in :)
Hexbear is tankie space
Yes, that's why it's inclusive of trans and bans transphobia, that's a good thing! An internet space without overt Zionism, transphobia... It feels great
Yeah, but the russia and china authoritarian love and glazing sucks.
People over on Hexbear don't love Russia. I myself have posted news articles on Russian authorities enjailing marxists and they got widely popular in Hexbear.
As for China, I'd argue they're not more authoritarian than most developed countries. I'm a Spaniard, my state has political prisoners for pro-Catalonian independence actions such as promoting a referendum for independence. The most leftist party to appear in decades fell into oblivion recently because the state police apparatus manufactured false evidence of corrupt funding of said party (Podemos) by Venezuela and Iran, and leaked these false police reports to all media, which echoed it nonstop for months.
Can you make posts/comments criticizing china, russia and the various horrific shit perpetrated by dictators of said country?
My one issue with tankies is that. Otherwise I openly welcome leftist ideas.
If they're nuanced, yes. "China bad" is not accepted, but there's plenty of criticism of China in Hexbear. A Chinese member called Xiaohongshu routinely posts comments and critiques of Chinese policy, such as failing to leave neoliberalism behind and maintaining dollar hegemony for its own benefit. There's also been big criticism recently for the lack of material support to Venezuela against US imperialist invasion. What's not accepted is "vuvuzela no iPhone", "tinyman square" or "ruzzians are bloodthirsty orcs", and it's honestly refreshing.
I've discussed this at length, but I'll try and explain myself here too: the problem is not that Marxists don't want representation of the mistakes and bad policies that did happen in Actually Existing Socialist countries. The problem is that they're overmagnified and given extremely long coverage and attention whereas western atrocities, by all means much more violent and deadly, are just brushed off and not discussed. The problem is not that people discuss gulags and gulag victims, we should totally do that. The problem is that for every gulag museum there should be 10 colonialism museums because colonialism murdered hundreds of millions. Until there isn't this proportional representation, you must understand why Marxists are fed up with discussion exclusively of socialist bad policies.
The way in which you can't even aknowledge the problems with your fascist ideology is reqlly crrepy and dystopian. You come off like there is a CCP state agent pointing a gun at your head as you write every comment.
Sorry you can't ban me in this space cowbee :c
I'm not Cowbee
