Otherwise gee fucking idiots I guess you realy needed a whole research department to figure things out like
•Alt-Right supergroup activity remains near its all-time high. This activity has been high since the FBI raid on Mar-a-Lago in August (Fig. 1).
•The forums with the greatest use of Violent/Aggressive discourse in November were in Health Misinformation, scoring higher than Incels/Femcels and the Extreme Right (Fig. 7).
•Reference to sex crimes was up 13% in December and was up 32% since August (Fig. 11).
:the-democrat: reading this : "Great, its all according to the plan. Carry on mrMcdoofus, keep us informed, this is very useful information, it will come in handy when we decide to do absolutely nothing for the next 2 years."
Because the sample size for "extreme left" is like 5000 posts/month and they probably tagged every Ukraine mega thread as violent. There's also the adventurism posts and
:stfu-terf:
Type posting that goes on which is a decent percentage of posts.
They didn't analyze the content of violent posts, just the language. All violence on hexbear is violence proposed as defense against state or reactionary violence where the alt right sites are calling for genocide.
My hope is that there is substantially more of "the extreme left" in the global south who aren't posting in English (or posting at all but just chatting to each other).
There's more of the "extreme left" on Reddit too, it just seems like this dude has a bone to pick with us specifically. He didn't include Lemmy, Mastodon, or Twitter either. Seems like he didn't pick any big socialist/left wing subreddits either. Anti work, Sino, Genzedong, etc.
