This isn't even your instance lmao.

The_Donald is when you have entirely different politics from The_Donald.

???

I'm obviously biased as an accursed tankie myself, but looking at this thread:

• 1.) The article wasn't even posted by a hexbear user.
• 2.) The level of discourse seems to be pretty level between hexbear natives and other users.
• 3.) The failure of the US to fight illicit opium production in Afghanistan, despite it being a public aim of the US and its allied government in Afghanistan, is well documented. Just doing a quick look, here's a New York post article (I know, I know, but it's well sourced, and certainly not leftist): Why the only winner of America’s war in Afghanistan is opium . It cites the Afghanistan papers and a variety of US and Afghan officials, and illustrates a timeline on how every program implemented by the US to combat opium production only intensified cultivation. The success of the Taliban government in cracking down on it despite far more limited resources suggests either gross incompetence or malice on the part of the US government.

EDIT: I will also point out that the harshest criticism of the US here is from a user from your own instance. That wouldn't even be allowed on hexbear, so glass houses.

leftist version of The_Donald.

This is not a thing which is possible.

Is... are you coming out as a fan of the heroin industrial complex here? Are you really mad we don't support Big Heroin ™️

mods help!! The lefties are posting well sourced arguments again!!

All things I don't like are exactly the same, united in their nature of me not liking them.

Another redditer who doesn't understand how federation works.

This entire thread is justification for telling hexbear to fuck off.

Why exactly? You have not given a reason. Vaguely gesturing at the thread full of people criticising the US is not a very good reason, unless you are an angry american nationalist.

Glad to see that your instance filter is working. Everyone should be free to curate the content they see.

For the benefit of others, checking your comment history, it is hilarious to me that you've never posted in your home instance even once and have the audacity to call us brigadiers.

lemm.ee user posts an article on lemmy.ml

random reactionary from a third instance: wtf how could hexbear do this

Won’t somebody think of the opium trade!

"I'm so proud of my echo chamber! Want to see pictures? No critical thinking can touch me! hahaha!"
