Some comrades over at Hexbear have organized a donation drive for Palestine and, over the past few weeks, have managed to raise over $1500 for verified Palestinian fundraisers. The fediverse is a good place full of good people.

goddamn this entire thread is annoying:

  • yes the hexbears are annoying and create problems
  • no they're not just as bad as overt fascists. their hearts are in the right place, as demonstrated by this post
  • being a scold when they do something good won't get them to do more good, it will entrench them further into the things they do that are problematic

so good job hexbears. you did something good this week. keep stuff like this going

Thanks for the candid words. It seems that people get more bothered over theoretical ideological points than the results of the theory. I'll be very happy if .world users decide to own hexbear epic style and do a 10 times larger fundraiser for Palestine

Don't worry, they won't

Broken clock effect.

At the end of the day, they're still authoritarian bootlickers, and they should not be given any slack because they did one good deed. Fuck Hexbear. They're as evil as MAGA as far as I'm concerned.

[-] tixnou@feddit.cl 21 points 2 days ago

havent come across hexbear much so im not really aware of their stances but i think calling a lemmy instance "as evil as MAGA" is kind of a stretch

Sorry that we want free healthcare, education, and we opose imperialism.

Thanks for your engagement on the post! It really helps with visibility

[-] Auth@lemmy.world 19 points 3 days ago

Most countries can have all that without being authoritarian bootlickers.

[-] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 hours ago

Define 'authoritarian'

They are no comrades of mine

[-] Riverside@reddthat.com 10 points 2 days ago

Hard to have comrades when you're an anticommunist!

[-] Nalivai@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

That's exactly why hexbears don't have comrades. Simping for dictators is about the most anticommunist thing you can do.

Tell me you know nothing about Democratic Centralism without telling me you know nothing about Democratic Centralism.

I have plenty of online and IRL comrades, not sure what you mean.

Simping for dictators

I've never simped for dictators, you just mistake "foreign nation with geopolitical interests opposite from the US" with dictators.

My dear democracy-lover, what's your opinion on the recent push for grassroots democracy in socialist Vietnam? They're eliminating an entire echelon of bureaucrats quickly and giving the budgets and decision-making power directly to local councils to administer directly. Surely since you're a democracy lover you're aware of this and you support it?

Third such fundraiser in hexbear, maybe it's time to reconsider who's the worst person :P

[-] SupraMario@lemmy.world 75 points 4 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Let me know when they'll do a fundraiser for Ukraine...

Edit: the tankies are here to brigade this thread... someone lit the fires of hexbear lol

[-] Aussieiuszko@aussie.zone 9 points 2 days ago

Let me know when .world does anything to help anyone ever.

[-] Maeve@kbin.earth 7 points 2 days ago

Nah but the zionazis are.

Hexbear banned me just for posting a meme of Bernie Sanders kissing Vladimir Putin with the caption "Tankies ❤️ Dead Palestinians".

I don't care how much money they raise. They are monsters. Inhuman, vile, irredeemable filth. Anyone who doesn't let me post in their community is the worst kind of pond scum.

Still overall net negative on the society. They'd have to raise billions to check out not a half of 1990s Honda civic

[-] Riverside@reddthat.com 12 points 2 days ago

"Yeah, they may be one of the safest spaces for Trans people on the internet, unapologetically antizionist and anti imperialist, and raise thousands of dollars for struggling Palestinians, but did you know that they dunked on me once when I said that China is bad?"

[-] drmoose@lemmy.world 7 points 2 days ago

You conveniently miss out all the awful stuff they do lol so bye

[-] anotherspinelessdem@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 hours ago

You'll be missed I'm sure

"Don't let the perfect be the enemy of the good!" - centrists, while demanding unconditional permanent loving support for netanyahu and his genocide.

[-] Riverside@reddthat.com 8 points 2 days ago

Awful stuff they do, or things they say you don't like? Two very different things.

[-] Samskara@sh.itjust.works 20 points 3 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Maybe a good thing they did.

I hope they verified well. There‘s a whole industry of scammers in this sector.
