If so, was it polled somewhere?

    Left leaning? Every post I saw from them before finally filtering the instance was heavily right leaning and filled with everything you just claimed they are against.

        they both have a love affair with Russia

        Yes, it’s Kremlin/CCP propaganda. Both use social media to divide democracies. Divide and conquer on social media.

        Yup, horseshoe theory. At a certain point, it’s hard to tell authoritarians apart. I.e. why do you hate LGBT folks?

        • Stalin - they’re non-conformist, so to the Gulag with with!
        • Hitler - the people don’t like them, so we can blame them for our problems

        Different justifications, same net result. So on LGBT issues, I can’t tell Stalin and Hitler apart. The same goes for a surprising number of other policies.

      Left wing as in socially and econimically. Not sure what you mean by right wing.

      They’re communists, are very trans friendly, and deny genocide.

        they’re communists

        No they’re not. They’re damaging to socialist causes if anything.

          Communists are often damaging to socialist causes.

          They consider liberals too right wing, that’s why they want to own them iirc

            This is correct. They’re way too the left of US liberals and are generally sick of the domination US liberals have in US politics. (The same can be said of the UK.)

            FWIW i’m mostly with them on this. I’m an anarchist and also far left, though i didn’t join their instance when i came to lemmy (obviously).

            Bros unironically don’t think liberals are right wing. What do you think they’ll have to say? Right wing is when you shout “Death to Israel?”

              Lol what are you even trying to say? The incoherence is funny considering you’re from a literature instance

                  Who is “bros”? If it’s hexbear, im pretty sure hexbear does consider liberals right wing

                  Right wing is when you shout “Death to Israel?”

                  Opposing a genocidal ethnostate is right wing?

                    “Bros” are the people you are talking to, who are complaining that the hexbears call capitalists right wingers. The hexbears consider liberals right wing because they are.

                    The second is an example of something a hexbear might say that someone who doesn’t know anything about politics might interpret as right wing thought.

                    This should be extremely clear to a reader who understands both the current discussion and underlying basic theory, unless they just assume anything they can’t parse is an attack and lash out in attempted retaliation.

                    Consider requesting clarification in the future before you resort to personal attacks. Especially ones that say much about you, and not much about the person you are attacking.

      Are you kidding? They unironically are fans of Stalin and other left wing ideologues. I have never seen a hexbear user who was anything but left wing.
