      Getting preemptively defederated by the instance that even tried federating with an instance for pedophiles and nazis because we don’t support NATO is nearly as funny as Reddit quarantining/banning us for calling for violence against confederate slave owners.

            I’m going to be honest here I have seen less copious and comprehensive notes from Maoists, what a fucking saga.

            It’s a either a shame or a joy that despite being an online guy, I still have zero idea what a Hoxhaist is outside of bunker memes.

                Interesting. I have been doing a fair amount of Stalin reading recently, both about the man and by the man (though I find myself a mix of in favor, at odds and then sympathetic), so I might look into it abit further. That being said, I can’t imagine being a hardline Stalinist, so many of the policies that he championed in the Central Committee were policies of necessity, and then dealing with the aftermath of those policies of necessity (the consequences of which are often exaggerated, but still not great) that I don’t think a blanket support of him is necessarily a good thing (though laying the blame entirely at his feet is just as flawed, if not more so).

                Thanks for the info, I appreciate it.

    Now that we’re all together I have a question to ask:

    Are any of you getting cash from the CPC or Russia?

    See, during the whole preemptive defederation thing they kept saying that Hexbear is a Chinese/Russian bot farm and that it’s probably the same in Lemmygrad. I don’t align ideologically with either of those countries but I won’t turn down free cash.

    Is there, like, a form to fill out?

      So, payments used to come in Russian ruble, but after the mother-of-all sanctions worked, payment finally switched to the renminbi. I was finally able to afford that second mansion I had always wanted to own, but never live in. Thank you, Bank of China!
