there is an ideology on this site that is unique compared to any other type of leftism. i would describe what hexbear believes as the most intersectional form of leftism there is. hexbear is to the left of china or cuba. we are the ultimate leftists. after three years of self imposed isolation, this site has essentially created the most advanced form of leftist theory that currently exists today, but its all disorganized into shitposts, esoteric jokes, and deep amount of lore that makes it impossible for someone not in-the-know to fully comprehend what we are even saying.
i think we as a site take the time to collectively write out what we actually believe and make an official ideology out of it. i want there to be people in cuba engaging in the discussion about treats, a book could be written on the matter of treats alone. its time we stop being just communists, socialists, anarchists, mlms, or any of the other branches of leftism that exist on this site and we make our own branch. hexbearism. this is the future of leftism, we are the natural progression of those ideologies, we have the intellectual capacity to write theory, its time hexbearism becomes an actual ideology.
It even made it into the modlog.
Seeing posts get removed for hostility, deep in the reeds of a completely unironic argument over whether outdoor cats are colonialist or whether keeping a cat indoors is commodifying a living being and a symptom of late capitalism - that is the true Hexbear experience.
I mean I do think it points at deeper discussions about how we construct The Natural and what exactly the built environment's relationship with the pre-built's should be -- questions that will become critical in 8 years when winter has been forcibly abolished and half of all internet addicts self-identify as anti-civ.
Sure, there are underlying reasons that both sides see which is why the discussions get so passionate, but at the same time, it's funny that they manifest in something so seemingly innocuous as letting a cat out.
At this point any mention of outdoor/indoor cats should just be an instant ban
Why not both?
