Has anyone else noticed how prevalent Hexbear posters have suddenly become? Maybe sometime last week I noticed nearly every political post had at least one long thread of Hexbear users that do nothing but repeat CCP talking points while waving anyway anything even remotely reliable as Western propaganda. That or getting all excited about trolled libs. The way they tell it, you'd think everything from DW, to Fox, to Propublica, to straight up AP News articles, are all written by the same people.

Not to mention, their info on the Fediverse observer is either straight up wrong or there's some serious botting going on. According to that, the instance is less than a month old, yet somehow they already have one of the largest, most active userbases, along with far and away the most comments of any instance.

Seems to me like Lemmygrad on steroids. Considering we defederated from them, seems like a no-brainer to block Hexbear as well.

So glad this thread could become such a perfect microcosm of why we need to defederate.

That's the main reason why nationalist chauvinists like OP hate Stalin.

The Baltic nationalists are just mad that Stalin forced them to stop murdering Jewish people.

The main thing I learned about the 20th century that made it all make sense, is that the leadership of the Western Allied countries all believe their countries fought on the wrong side of WW2. You don't need to look any further than their actions in Latin America to support that claim.

Its very funny to me how many nazis went to south america and got got by the mossad when they could have just emigrated to america and worked for NATO or the RAND Corporation.

I've always thought the Holocaust Museum should be inside the DC Air and Space Museum for that reason, or perhaps the IBM building
