Its just an instance where tankies can exist in an echo chamber without having to critically think. If you want you can read some of my comments here and watch these morons make fallacious argument after falacious argument, put words in my mouth, and project some person who makes similarly bad takes which exists inside their head onto me: https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484 [https://lemmy.today/comment/17304484] Edit: there’s also this thread: https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693 [https://lemmy.today/post/32415724/17304693]

    I don’t mean it as a point of judgement, it just is an echo chamber and you can observe that in the lack of voiced disagreement on countless issues much more specific and peripheral than “should poor people get to eat?”

        There’s the question of whether Russia is imperialist. In about equal measure, I’ve seen people here both say that the Ukraine War is an inter-imperialist conflict and that it’s actually anti-imperialist on Russia’s part. The course of action (revolutionary defeatism) remains the same, but I’ve seen the occasional Hexbear on Hexbear argument over it.

          But the consensus on the site if just that, a consensus. It wasn’t just arbitrarily decided, there was a lot of discussion and “struggle sessions” over the idea. Which is the opposite of an echo chamber, the group discussing an idea and then coming to a consensus, even if some individuals in the group disagree with the consensus, they’ll accept it, is exactly how a group should work.

          The term “echo chamber” is used so much by libs that it loses any sort of potential meaning it could’ve had. Like “authoritarian” it just means “bad thing me no like.”

        I know bait when I see it, but there’s one point that I’ve complained about a few times already (and in fairness to HB, was met with no reprisal on): https://hexbear.net/comment/6251976

        As I explained to death in those comments, I support the DPRK over Occupied Korea and the West, I support its nuclear program and other military investments, and most of what an American would say about the DPRK is a lie, but the DPRK is not remotely Marxist, it can hardly be said to even be socialist (as they deny the need for private ownership to end), and I can go on with criticisms but you can get the idea. Basically everyone on Hexbear either redwashes the DPRK or stays silent, though some might tacitly believe what I said and just focus on the anti-imperialist struggle element, which is valid but does not detract from my claim.
