  • I understand your posts on this thread seem to underlie the assertion that the existence of a Palestinian people and their aspirations of agency, self-determination, and aegis of defense against oppression, apartheid, and genocide are an existential threat to the Jewish people.

    A lie meant to dehumanize Palestinians and enable and encourage Israeli Jews to pursue genocide, which itself is a deformation of what Judaism itself stands for.

    Your account is obviously a troll account, but I just wanted to point out not only your depravity but to the extent Zionism is so inherently heretical and deforming of Judaism. When people say Zionism is anti-Semitic, here it is.



  • I suppose sometimes elaboration is something I seek in Hexbear comments and posts. Otherwise we talk in cliches and phrases rather than elaborated thoughts; though my experience may not be the empirical reality of genuine intellectual exchange, understanding, and catharsis here on this site.

    As in this example, liberals tend to present the trolley problem but we already know that these groups are slated for danger and disintegration because the ruling class has decided this to be normal. The trolley is multi-track drifting, the rails converge and destroy those groups inevitably and the only remedy is to stop the momentum of the train.

    I was referring to the axiom and common knowledge being relied on to communicate with one another, the way friends or colleagues with similar politics and world views use short cut phrases and conversation to recycle and communicate interpretations and understandings of history and current events.

    So to an outsider it comes off as vague and esoteric, even to those who come in good faith, or share our politics but are unfamiliar with the culture. In other words, my experience on some posts is the same phenomenon of trying to interpret a Blackmoldfuture post; an opening statement that looks like it belongs in the middle of an essay or conversation.


  • The problem isn’t our “dialogue” the problem is that we’re latched to the hip with a dollar store version of 4chan made up of uniquely uneducated people who thought post-2020 reddit was too “woke”, and we as a forum have a bad case of denial about it, because frankly it’s a little embarrassing in terms of association

    Yeah, that’s a better way to put it. I was trying to be diplomatic but the topic at hand is too far severe to give anyone the benefit of the doubt.


  • A large flaw in Hexbear’s dialogue is that it does not regard outsiders ignorance. Hexbear is mostly an insider group where established axioms and knowledge are shared as common knowledge, and therefore not entirely elaborated. It isn’t a substitute for dialogue, but becomes an echo chamber - fine in its own right - and stifles understanding of right and wrong to “vibes”.

    We should know, intellectually and not only emotionally, why your assumption and the human rights attorney’s assumption are flawed.

    Your assumption should lead to a question rather than a definitive conclusion. The question should be : How do persecuted groups in the US going to suffer under Biden & Harris?

    Of course, the entire premise is that voting is the most important and sometimes sole act of political agency that can actually change the politics of the state. Ask yourself, is that true? Has not foreign and domestic policy remained consistent among administrations and Congresses in its degradation of quality of American life for the past 50 years?




  • You’re right. Though it was not my intention to pedestal the nuclear family or building one as an ultimate goal, I suppose I was measuring the milestones of life through the parallels of responsibility and personal growth, and used that observation about him to mean that he sees a future and existence for himself outside of the podcast. And that sort of seriousness and forecasting is a mark of adulthood and maturity, from my perspective.

    Will’s alright; I guess I was trying to not singularly focus on Felix.

    Felix to me is my personal bogeyman, that despite success and affluence, he is seemingly incapable of escaping his adolescence in both his manner of speech, presentation, habits, and career. A “positive” identity is what a person identifies themselves by what they are, Felix has helped me form a “negative” identity by telling myself what I should not be.

    I dunno. I just knew people like that, blessed by success or fortune from birth, and saw them spend their lives in adolescence way into their late 30s.


  • I just strongly dislike the man-children aspect of their dynamic, especially Felix who seems to be stuck emotionally as a burnout turned 27 year old gamer. Just everything about his speech mannerisms, his vocal fry, the limited vocabulary and adolescent presentation, the revelations of his habits, hygiene, and “hobbies” (i.e, gaming & internet addiction).

    All this is of course excluding Chris Wade who seems to be the only professional, and Matt Christman who seems to be the only one moving forward with building a life and family.

    It’s probably, most definitely if I was forced to make a decision and commitment, that I - perhaps you too - am just growing out of news podcasts as entertainment. Even long since 10/7, I kind of find these podcasts - Chapo, Trueanon, Trillbilllies, etc - to be a mix of “finding catharsis in the darkness via public broadcasting” and grifting the disintegration and decline of empire for affluence and notoriety.








  • I’ve seen a lot of articles and youtube videos about how this war triggered Israel’s death throes, and the parallels between Israel and apartheid South Africa & Rhodesia, but those media which highlighted the internal contradictions of Israel, its collapsing economy and international standing, often overlook how desperate the US is to have a satellite state in the West Asia enough to brazenly establish its support for Israel.

    All this, despite the damage to US prestige and diplomatic credibility (notwithstanding that the US state does not nor needs to care about internal dissident or crisis) because the US can brute force its support and suffer little to no economic or political repercussions.

    Israel is a nuclear powered state with very powerful supporters in the US and Europe, as part of a symbiotic relationship these powers have with each other, to ensure the economic and political dominance of the larger political community known as the “West”.

    My larger concern is what Norman Finkelstein has been saying recently: Israel has defeated Hamas in Gaza by destroying Gaza itself. Therefore, the probability that Israel has the power and support needed to enact its depraved agenda of ethnic cleansing and genocide, and survive its repercussions on the world stage for a decade before it goes back to the status quo of pre October 7th, is a very plausible future.

    Israel has managed to pursue this for over a year now.


  • I think the point was that the vampire, as a parasitic and predatory entity, lives only for itself and its own instinct. Confronted with the cross, or the sickle & hammer, is anathema to the vampire because those symbols symbolize love, self-sacrifice, and common humanity. Both represent the courage to find power to do what is right even among the powerlessness, even when one is powerless.
