Hope you all have a good next week
Remember no crackers
America that was illegal to have interracial marriage in and could result in death just a few decades ago: “yeah we can reform this into having better rights”
Third world country that allows gay relations but not marriage: “KILL KILL KILL DESTROY THE ENTIRE COUNTRY DROP A NUKE”…and the reforms often don’t stick lol. Gay marriage hasn’t even lasted a generation before going back on the chopping block. Fucking child labor is de-facto legal here with the age requirements always getting lower. Abortion is already being prosecuted, both doctors and patients.
Americans really just want an excuse to do colonizer shit.
Word. Interracial marriage will be on the chopping block with this supreme court hell some GOP are “just asking questions” about it which usually the chickenshit way of saying its in their plans
They already basically started this, with some people losing their greencard even though they’re married.
Honestly worried about this happening to my sister. She and her husband are both immigrants, but from different countries. They could very well get deported to different places.
hope both of them are safe
White Americans will have more empathy for themselves and their fellow racists then even consider having a shred of empathy for nonwhites.
They also don’t really care about queer people in designated “enemy” states. Hard to have a good queer life after being blown up by some American bomb
I believe they’d have more empathy for a soldier who’ll kill a queer poc.
Absolutely.
And I in turn have no empathy for the troops
Why then your hypocritical phrases, your attempt to find an impossible pretext?
We have no compassion and we ask no compassion from you. When our turn comes, we shall not make excuses for the terror. But the royal terrorists, the terrorists by the grace of God and the law, are in practice brutal, disdainful, and mean, in theory cowardly, secretive, and deceitful, and in both respects disreputable.
Marx had some absolute bangers of quotes.
How they gonna chat to people about rights when healthcare isn’t a right and these lot have a weird gun fetish so strong guns are a leading cause of child death?
Mfs just denied healthcare visas for Palestine children because of that laura loomer freak
Being Latino in several spots is enough to have ICE gestapo run up on you. Hell they fired upon an innocent family just recently and they brag about fucking alligator camps To add to that, in pre-colonial times a lot of cultures in Africa and the Americas (and possibly other places) had more inclusive gender systems than the west which got stomped out by european imperialists and christian missionaries. We’re still dealing with the fallout of that shit today.
Lol at the zionist mods not being banned and we’re supposed to ignore that because we got the emoji
Only 2 people got removed and they think it’s enough, a purge should be done.
Didn’t realize I could ever even come close to calling this site HeKKKSSbear unironically… 😢
a purge should be done.
There are multiple mods with all kinds of horrendous shit if you check the mod log. They’ve been temp banned before for saying awful shit, then they go right back to being a mod and repeat every few months whenever there’s another struggle session.
Then there’s the mods who don’t get banned for saying awful shit. I won’t forget I was here for like a month and a mod blew up on me because I said “Maybe you shouldn’t shoot people in the middle of the night that enter your house for the following reasons.” Settler brain kicks in and this whitey bans me, removes my comments, removes comments unrelated to what we were talking about in other threads, then removes his comments to cover his tracks.
And who fucking knows how many mods do stuff like this? Then they wonder why this site is predominantly white people from NATO countries.
Even more weird because they had no issue checking likes when they were looking for alts…

This site actually has a zionist problem? Jesus.
I genuinely did not think we did until the last struggle session and the mod/admin reaction to it
Also weird those zionists saw all the anti zionist posts for the past 2 years and kept quiet but an emoji pushed them over?

All the truly spicy posts like the IOF getting domed by Al Qassam snipers because the IOF stand in front of windows like dumbasses are only found in the news mega. Maybe the admins feel a lot queasier about those posts than I thought?

Yea,some mods in the strugge session kept comparing an emote of the isn’treal flag burning to the Holocaust.

Was sent logs of the mod chat by a whistleblower, read what was being said about the struggle sessions, completely and utterly delusional, egotistical, and entirely missing the point, plus direct accusations of me in particular being a wrecker + not to mention misgendering. I’m assuming a couple other users were also sent the html logs, I just don’t have the energy or desire to continue operating on this website after what i read. Basically every concern was completely ignored, subverted, or created baseless accusations. And the mod in particular who was asked to step down by many users is still a mod under another account and was told by admins they did nothing wrong. Thanks to the few cool users on this website but yea the administration is just childish and completely disconnected from its user base, unwilling to face legitimate criticism, so I will not be returning here anymore and I urge others who would like any sort of real positive change to do the same. Maybe someone will create another community and I would be happy to join then, but for now goodbye. This will probably end up getting purged anyways
feels weird one of them is a mod of this comm and a site admin who can see what posts everyone likes
anyway, if i get banned for this comment you know why
mod of this comm
Especially with a take like that lmao. Holy shit what is that? “Don’t dox yourself but also dox yourself by posting your city and org so I can have my racist takes validated on a crossword puzzle duck and bean forum” is a certainly an opinion.
I think they were being flippant and trying to dismiss complaints about not having the emoji by saying the people complaining couldnt possibly be people who are active in Palestinian resistance irl
The terminally online on terminally online violence from the people who have time to mod this site is so goddamn annoying
I didn’t think I could get more disappointed than I already was.
what the fuck is red wizard doing there
Also I can provide the image they want if I look through my gallery, but not burning we didn’t have a flag we had a bit of the road with chalk of israel with us stepping on it.

Disgusting overreach just to fuck over a single user.
He is spreading misinformation and out of context statements. There are no AI tools being used and there is no way to turn off the IP anonymization
misinformation…no AI tools being used and there is no way to turn off the IP anonymization.
Okay, sure.
out of context statements.
This is suspicious lmao. Banning him again when the struggle session has “passed” isn’t the best look IMO and is exactly what this comm predicted.
He is continuing wrecker behavior by posting excerpts of a chat leak that did not show the end point of the discussion. Which was that his lemmygrad alts were allowed, as long as they don’t break CoC, Nakoichi is demodded and not permitted back. zposter’s lemmygrad alt was banned for misrepresenting mod actions by claiming in bad-faith that we are using AI tools and deanonymizing the IP. I mean he even pretended not to be an alt in last week’s thread to manipulate this community in bad-faith.
We don’t use AI tools which is what I replied to the mod that made that claim in error, we used his own statements, the view upvote tool and cross referenced comments with voting patterns among the suspected alts to determine which were his alts. Yes some mistakenly got banned in that initial process but were unbanned.
I replied to durings via a DM a day ago with this screenshot that I said shortly the person who leaked the chat was removed.

To me zposter has passed the point of engaging with the site in good faith and is completely dedicated to wrecking as retaliation for being banned for years of hostility, periods of denying covid, complaining about displayed pronouns, mod actions for racism, misogyny, using alts to vote manipulate and sock puppet discussions.

As of now they [Nakoichi] have been demodded, I agree that mods are held to a higher standard as stated in the code of conduct.

The mods aren’t alright
pointless stale Hexbear drama
I have a higher tolerance for white nonsense than most here (mostly because I don’t deal with white people in my personal life and rarely in my work life), but who the fuck thought it was a good idea to have some Hawaiian activist as the “fuck Israel” emote? Jesus Christ.
Going through comments on popular threads often leave me with a slight whiff of (white) american ignorance unfortunately. The upside is that there are quite some users calling this out. Those users keep this place worthwile coming back to imho
Ok… I didn’t think much of it (personally thought it was weird to have such an emote named that :shrug-outta-hecks: ) but damn, I only came to noticed just realized how fucked up it is.
I don’t remember every detail but I’m pretty sure that during one of the older struggle sessions about burning the Israeli flag (which resulted in the burning IOF and IDF flag emojis) that point was also brought up. What I don’t remember was what the justification was and the fact that it has stayed that way for this long shows just how little some of the mods and users on here care about em_poc voices.
Yeah, I always thought that was really fucked up and very confusing.
A pretty attractive Black guy flirted with me today, and it’s a confidence boost for sure, but I’m genuinely shocked because I keep forgetting that I look like a woman to most people nowadays. I don’t think he knows that I’m 🏳️⚧️.
Ended up filing a complaint against this therapist I saw. He let baseless, irrelevant, and unprofessional bias prevent me from getting care that is absolutely essential to my well-being as a queer person. What grosses me out is that this was specifically at a clinic that claims to specialize in LGBTQ+ care. I hope something comes of this, but meh, these formal processes are rarely ever actually just. I scheduled with a new therapist at an organization that is queer and POC led (this other therapist who rejected my care is extremely
), and they were able to give me a free consultation. I expect them to be better in the long run.I forgot how exhausting and demoralizing signing up for jobs was, fuck the free market job guarante program now. I don’t wanna be lumpen forever
users: we need a purge
admins: purging the users calling out zionism
It’s gonna sound weird but I gotta say I’ve really grown to love my skin color more and more. Mom brought me up with a lot of colorism brainworms that I’m getting rid of as I grow up so I think I’m making progress
I love being dark!

never forget that they banned users for supporting Hamas in the first few months
did they? my goodness, i was here on october 7 and i don’t think i ever noticed. supporting hamas should have been a baseline.

I admit I actually don’t remember, a lot has happened over the past two years and it’s easy for things like this to get swept under the rug
they’re going to sweep this under the rug too, the
is another
to shut us upSeems like a good reason to address the problems now rather than waiting up to two months for things to “cool off”
when the two months pass and it cooled off they’re going to say “well that was 2 months ago why are you still mad about it?”
People already calling it “relitigation” while simultaneously trying to rugsweep so yeah
https://hexbear.net/comment/4384399 some correlating commentary from the time about people getting banned for hamas support
Vauge posting, I asked zed then via DM for names and he could not provide them. I will happily unban anyone that was banned for supporting hamas

Nothing to add beyond I support this message. When topics of anti semitism come up here on hexbear, the air around it doesn’t sit right with me. I’ve been self censoring with fear of being banned but that censoring only upholds isntreal and zionism. Antisemitism is a uniquely European sin and we need to understand it like racism, which is systematic. And right now, systematic forces are to busy drumming up Anti Arab sentiment
White people who are marginalized (e.g. white women, white queer people, white ND people, etc.) be like:
LIberal whites who get very hush about Israel are the biggest cowards.
Plague rats and apologists continuing to infest the Hexbear COVID comm, running free
I’m glad Hexbears are creating a safe space to help proud and smug social murderers feel better about themselves
Imagine tailing apolitical middle aged Aunties that have had no political education that are just trying not to die, calling yourself a communist and talking down to everyone that sees you as you are
If masking is normalized in the third world maybe just keep your pathetic inability to uphold basic principles to yourselves instead of turning principled spaces for victims and activists into support groups for their oppressors, i.e perpetrators of social murder
Settlers and their allies would would rather kill someone than look like a leftist:
I want to preface this by saying that I welcome any corrections if I use wrong terminology or offensive language. Please feel free to roast me if I say some reactionary shit.
Hello comrades, I’m looking for some info on chicanismo, primarily our indigenous brother’s and sister’s view on it, after watching a video featuring Rick Tabenunaka from Decolonized Buffalo Podcast and his views on chicanismo. His primary thesis is that chicanismo is a settler colonialist project intended to erase the indigenous communities that lived and Live in the area that chicanos call Aztlán. Most of his evidence comes from the fact that early Chicano leaders appropriated the concepts of “La Raza” and “mestizaje” from José Vasconcelos’s book “La raza cósmica” or The Cosmic Race. Things get a little weird when you look into who José Vasconcelos was.
Vasconcelos was a Mexican philosopher and a thought leader of the Mexican revolution who went on to become secretary of education in the new government. In his most famous work, “La raza cósmica”, he put forward the theory that since the people of Latin America were a mix of all the world’s races they were the prime candidates for the creation of a “fifth race”. Things get really bad when you read about his newspaper El Timón. El Timón mostly featured pro Nazi articles, news from the German frontlines, and showcased photos of the “heroic actions” of German, Japanese, and Italian troops. So yeah this dude was a Nazi piece of trash.
This is starting to sound like a hit piece on chicanismo which was not my intention but this new info has given me a little “crisis of faith” surrounding my Mexican identity. I guess I’m just looking for something to help me process this and figure out whether it’s a legitimate argument and critique of chicanismo. Thank you for your time and I hope you all have a good day!
I couldn’t find the original video I saw so I will post some other ones where Rick also speaks about chicanismo. I will also leave my source on Vasconcelos’s Nazi ties.
You’re very right. Chicanismo is whack indigenous erasure and appropriation. It seems it was an important initial stage to build cultural and racial movement for Mexican diaspora but it’s now being rightfully dismantled as the colonizer fantasy it is, which opens the space for even better internationalism within and beyond Latin America.
That’s wild that dude was a Nazi. That makes so much sense.
Yeah I always got a weird vibe from people heavily invested in chicano culture. Some seemed to have an unfavorable view of newly arrived undocumented migrants and that always rubbed me the wrong way. Thankfully I never really identified or got into chicanismo and always considered myself Mexican which saved me a lot of “heartbreak” when I came across this new info.
This does read like a hit piece against chicanismo, and it should be! Yeah the whole aztlan shit is very settler colonial and appropriates a lot of stuff from pueblos originarios. Like the danza azteca stuff that’s just new age religion and spirituality co opting dances from pueblos originarios.
I luckily never fell into that stuff because for whatever reason I felt iffy about it when i first heard about it and ignored it but i understand the crisis it causes in your mexican identity. It’s important to remember though that there is an incredibly rich mexican identity both in the “standard” mexican culture and more importantly the culture and identity of pueblo originarios. I also felt kind of lost or stranded in where exactly my identity lied but a big thing for me is realizing i don’t have to box myself into one identity, we are who we are based off of our lived experiences.
As far as actually feeling like you belong the biggest thing that helped me is immersion. even just joining online communities based out of mexico is great, also i feel like mexicans from mexico tend to be much less reactionary and usian brain coded so that’s always nice lol. sorry for the word slop, i just got off work and have been reading the naked lunch so my brain is fried.
Thank you for your thoughtful reply comrade and sorry for the late reply.
Yes, chicanismo always seemed kind of usian coded to me and even from a young age I never identified with American culture at all. I guess that’s why I was a baby anti-imperialist since my teens lol. Oddly enough danza Azteca and the festivities surrounding La virgen de Guadalupe also helped me begin my decolonization journey. I remember sitting in church on a December 12th when I was like 13 and the priest is telling us the story of how “la virgencita appeared to Juan Diego”. He then starts talking about how few indigenous converts they were able to get before the apparitions but with the help of this miracle thousands of indigenous people started to come worship Tonatzin. I couldn’t believe how they were openly bragging about how they tricked the holdout indigenous peoples into converting!
Another thing that kept me from engaging with chicanismo in any deep or meaningful way was that I can speak Spanish somewhat competently so I was able to engage with Mexican culture more easily instead. You’re right when you say that Mexico has a rich culture and I’m very grateful to be a part of it which did help to ease the heartbreak from learning that chicanismo is kind of whack. Like you say there is no need to put ourselves in any one box. I’ll have to work on learning more about los pueblos originarios though. I’m learning a few words in Nahuatl from TikTok to start. I also found a really cool artist who sings in Nahuatl among the sea of Ojitos mentirosos videos! They’re called Azalea Báalam and more people should check them out.
I have also noticed the average Mexicans are less reactionary than Americans but just ignore the whitexicans ha ha ha
Thank you for taking your time to reply, it really did help me. I’m glad to know that someone else has experienced something similar to me and gotten through it. It makes me feel less isolated in a way. And no need to apologize for your “word slop” I think I have you beat lol
Deculturation talked about the concept a little bit with Dr. Jared Ball here sadly it’s mixed with a bunch of other topics and I don’t remember the exact timestamp.
Oh nice thank you for this! I am currently on a decolonization theory binge so more sources are very welcome.
Decolonial Buffalo actually used to collab with Deculturation but they had a falling out.

The interview with the vegan bakery went incredibly well, and it seems to be a good fit. They have quite a small team that is 100% queer and also is comprised of a few POC. I have barista experience, and they seem to have greatly valued that and the fact that I’m vegan as well, of course.
I’m not trying to lean too much into wishful thinking, but something about this interview stood out to me. The person interviewing me did not speak in “ifs.” So, for example, they didn’t say, “If you get hired…” Instead, they said, “When you start working here…”
They are interviewing a few other people, though, so I still have competition. However, this may be the most confident I’ve ever been about an interview yet. I don’t even feel like the job interview that I had a referral for went over this well.
The hiring manager specifically told me that they try not to make interviews too formal and that they aim to greatly differ from how most places do it.
Fingers crossed! 🤞🏿
Really bummed you didn’t get the job your friend recommended you for, though. The pay is still good at the bakery, though?
Yeah, especially with tips! It’s also gonna be full-time.
