  • OK that's a lot to look up, thanks for the recommendation.

  • The comment I'm replying to also didn't explain their stance either. Is there any particular reason you wanna only whinge at me?

  • If you want to know something you merely have to ask. Maybe explain that you don't know much about a subject matter.

    My initial comment was to someone who has an opinion on Trotsky and thus probably knows who he was, so I didn't feel like typing up a whole-ass essay on the guy. Y'know?

  • Genuine question, if you don't have a stance on Trotsky, and you don't know fuck all about him, why are you wading into this comment chain in the first place?

  • I took it for granted that people who had a stance on Trotsky would know who he is.

  • Because I wanted to know, why do you think Trotsky was less authoritarian than Stalin?

  • Why would the Commissar of Military and Naval affairs under Lenin, who was instrumental in founding the red army and oversaw the purging of Mahknovists and other anarchist elements in the early USSR be less authoritarian than Stalin?

  • OK, that's as good an answer as any.

    Salvador Allende got couped three years after his election. Are there any ways you can think to prevent a foreign power from undermining future hypothetical socialist governments that wouldn't be authoritarian?

  • The fact that you think Trotsky would've been less authoritarian than Stalin betrays that you don't know shit about him yourself.

  • Not a socialist, but I am genuinely curious.

    Is there any socialist revolution that you wouldn't class a fascist?

  • Hexbear recently federated with sh.itjust.works, I don't know if it was polled on your side or what. But on Hexbear's side there was a thread to discuss it.

  • But I think it’s important to recognise that the Saudis aim is to restore order in a neighbourhood country, to prevent Iranian influence from growing and to suppress violent Islamic fundamentalism.

    "Restoring order is when you bomb hospitals and exacerbate famines and the more people that die, the more order it is."

    The Saudis are committing genocide in Yemen. No ifs, no buts. To claim they have a good reason to be out there doing it is genocide apologia.

  • pushing bisexuals down the list in favor of pansexuals.

    Bad take, considering bi erasure exists.

  • You never heard of paraphrasing?

    Illiterate and bigoted, name a more iconic duo.

  • my totally real gay friends think you're silly, that's why you have to police your activism to appeal to me.

    Fuck off.

  • Why would a Hexbear user do this?

    Like, beyond your accusation that we're fostering the kinds of users that have CSAM on hand, what possible reason would any of us have to try to shut down any instance let alone one that is by-and-large friendly (or at least neutral) to Hexbear?

  • TC69 did nothing wrong and the pronoun option setting these types off without fail is a constant reminder of this.
