If I had to do a takesmith moment, maybe they finally have an operating model of a EMP device? It’s one of those things conservatives have been shadowboxing that for years, which means they’ve been working on it. It was one of the fabled weapons from the dubya years and a big part of apocalypse fantasy under Obama. I could see them doing a big commercial for it, a live demonstration (just like my star wars!). Of course it would probably be half-assed so they would follow up with analog carpet-bombing of civilian infrastructure. Then “we have a nuke without the nuke” discourse will carry everyone pretty far over the next decade.

This is going to come off really crabby, and I’m sorry for that, but you being frustrated with a couple of people is not a problem with site culture. Both you and OP are not actually communicating well or taking care of this in a productive way. The person you’re frustrated with don’t even know this thread is about them. You have experience with communicating to strangers and talking to people with differing views at protests. Apply that here. The opportunity was when it happened, not 4 days later.

If Hexbear has a culture problem it’s poor communication and a seeping anticipation that the person you argue with is a latent fash.

I went into your history. You got into an argument with one poster about whether or not it was worth it to convert libs at the event. By argument I mean one reply. That’s the ultraleft position in our community?

I don’t know who you’re replying to so the impact of this post is lost on me. If someone on Hexbear said that Walmart is paying people to show up to protests then you should have called them out in the thread where they said it. Making a new post to say that all hexbears believe that is odd. Your whole post is like “Listen up here you fucking cracker reactionaries, I’m gonna set you strait and let you know that we need to build popular support before we can have a revolution!” Like who is disagreeing? This is premium Hexbear online posting. I don’t know why we’re kidding ourselves thinking this is some kind of grass-touching anthem.

God could you imagine Trump’s version of 9/11.

The satanic panic MAGA people lost their cred when Trump held the glowing orb of globalism in a dark ritual.

Reality barrier: 45%

It’s almost like random redditors backed by a non-profit suck at organizing. They don’t know who is at their protest. They don’t know how many people there are on their side. They don’t know who is running security, they probably never considered having organized security. They just let randos show up and stake over marshaling duties.

How did that work out for you?

Real Human Bean hours

You know all those plans Nazis and Italian Fascists had for mega architecture? Modern day fascists have that but for turning McDonald’s back into a clown house. Like an 80-story building that takes up a whole block but it looks like a playskool hamburger

This guy went from being the highest manager at a 7/11 store to running a security company in the Congo. Fargo ass life.

Comrade Final Destination

On Tuesday, Trump said he plans to “wean” states off of FEMA. “A governor should be able to handle it, and frankly, if they can’t handle it, the aftermath, then maybe they shouldn’t be governor,” Trump said.

Yeah when your house gets carried off into the sea we should hold a snap election amongst the flood waters and debris.

The Penguin of San Francisco

Is chess one of those problems that can be solved if you just memorize every single game ever played and continuously remember as they happen? Probably not. People have been trying that for centuries.

I think we’re going to find a lot of things in life can’t be solved by computers memorizing stuff and then doing stats on it to get an answer. Tech bros mold themselves after computers though. They think everything is just systems, algorithms, data structures, and math. And not the good math either, the mid-century diet-Rand game theory cold war shit they confuse with human nature.

Critical, uneasy, apprehensive, support while scowling.

There were planned protests against ICE. Chuds found out and spread the word that drug cartels were going to start a riot. The protests started and they were fine, just normal protest stuff. Chuds started exaggerating everything on social media, saying that LA was burning. Same shit that happened in other protests. Trump decides to score some political dunks on Newsom and takes over the CA national guard. He then orders them to go in and disperse the protests. LAPD, being themselves, had already stepped over the line a couple times as usual. But with the NG rolling in, it just ups the anti. Just like in 2020, we get people being abused by authority and then chuds using that to prove that they’re these crazy riots happening. Liberal media doesn’t help because they just want to report on something exciting.

As more people get hurt, more people show up for supporting the protestors.

Libs get their Law & Order fetish fulfilled and they get to blame it on trump. Here is Gavin basically telling people that they better be peaceful or the troops he didn’t send will hurt them. He’s reassuring everyone that there are plenty of cops. This is a threat to normal people and an assurance for his class.
