I think there are multiple things one can complain about, I was simply objecting to your minimizing one of them. I think even within that modified statement there is malicious (or perhaps self-victimizing) mischaracterization, but I don't feel like arguing about the other statements as others can probably do just as good a job and have more enthusiasm than I do for endlessly re-addressing the same complaints, which increasingly feels to me like the main dealing Hexbear has with liberal comms.
I have no interest in debating the broader issue, but your bolding here is silly:
Even without talking about possible links with CCP, Kremlin etc…
The idea of us being connected to either group is a harebrained conspiracy theory, so I think speaking of it as though it is credible while saying you won't talk about it is classic apophasis, i.e. a rhetorical device for making insinuations about something you want to denigrate while dodging responsibility for doing so.
We'd need more context, but this seems like the reverse, where this dude knows that he is white for all intents and purposes but is cynically leveraging being Jewish to pretend he's a POC in order to (in the eyes of liberals) exempt himself from white supremacy.
OP never said anything about you or I individually making Harris not do genocide. I mean, it's a communist board, we must talk about people as individuals because they are, on many levels of analysis, individuals, but political action lives and dies by group effort.
Me skipping a vote for Harris (or Trump) tells that candidate nothing about why I didn't vote for them.
Nor did OP say anything about not voting, which is silly for the reason you describe. However, and this is again the doctrinaire response, voting for a communist does tell the mainstream candidates quite a lot about why you didn't vote for them, even if that communist candidate cannot win that election.
Episode 1 does regular campaigns (sometimes with Felix as a guest), mostly in DnD historically, but somewhat recently they started running a CoC campaign that is now like a third of their campaign catalogue I think. I'm not sure, I dropped off their patreon before it started, but I definitely want to sneak on one more time to get it.
Edit: I forgot to say, maybe the two of them could collaborate here too, with Will helping Branson write or something so it's appropriately engaging.
Beyond superficial/aesthetic elements, I don't think any progressive (who includes gender issues in their progressiveness) is really comfortable with masc gender norms, because they are overtly antisocial and more loudly so than fem gender norms (though the two are inextricably linked). I have an associate who used to think he was NB because he was correctly disgusted with masculinity and sought out being sort of an anti-man as a result (to be clear, he agrees with this characterization). He got as far as spending a couple of months on HRT until, for reasons that tbh I don't think he ever really outlined, realized that his problem was with the whole social order of gender and there isn't really escaping it while living in this society without destroying it. He self-identifies as male again now because that's his sex and he doesn't view it as productive in his case to "present" in really almost any deliberate way.
This isn't me flatly naysaying, mind you, or naysaying at all. I've known at least two people pre-transition who are now enbies (while one is a libertarian shitbag, the other is cool afaik) along with enough post-transition enbies that I would need to think a bit to make sure I have all of them. I think 5? And every single one is cool and, as far as I know, quite happy with their identity.
Why am I saying anything? In part because I'm positive that if I was socialized differently, I would identify as NB for reasons similar to the first person I mentioned. It's arguable that the reason I never got into it was because of some queerphobia when I was younger, though I think the right answer for myself is also the one my associate took. Anyway, I'm not saying it's your case, I don't think anyone should presume what your case is, I just wanted to offer another perspective since it reminded me of some of my personal experiences.
Minor quibbling for the sake of post engagement clarity: The term "brainwash" is a literal translation of a term coined by Mao, itself a pun on a ritualistic "heartwashing" that was customary to spiritually "clean" yourself (before? after?) entering a temple. Mao was using it as basically a jocular way to refer to political reeducation. The literal translation itself was first produced by some niche orientalist author who was making theories about chicom mind control powers. It was then adopted by the establishment after those soldiers in the Korean War were, in fact, rehabilitated by China* and renounced the war, confessed to using chemical and biological weapons (which never happened according to the notoriously honest US State Department), and in some cases even fully refusing to be brought back to America, instead choosing to live in the PRC or DPRK.
Another "fun" one is "Ostalgie," a German portmanteau of "Ost" (east) and "Nostalgie" (nostalgia), which is the way that German popular culture characterizes the feelings of the former East Germans who preferred East Germany. It's another instance of pathologizing popular sentiments by treating them as some bizarre and peculiar psychological phenomenon rather than accepting that people have reason to think what they think.
*I think it was mostly by China, since China had a pretty dominant role late in the war, but that's not to say there was no Korean involvement or that every case with every supposedly-brainwashed prisoner was the same.
The reason they saw the first one is because they've got (I think) one dedicated person trawling through Hexbear pretty frequently, since .world can't actually see this instance, and then that one dedicated person picks out what they think is good to share and they share that.
While that user spends a lot of time on here just to seethe and take the occasional screenshot, they can't possibly be spending so much time that they see all the threads (let alone comments), so it was probably the fact that your old post got to the top of the front page that made the difference in them seeing it. Unfortunately, I think they're too much of a coward to play ball with you and forward your current post so other .worlders will see it. That one person is pretty likely to see this though, so at least your message will probably reach them.
Complete aside, but did you see the part where they called you racist? I'm still baffled by that. Like, I can do a pretty good job of imagining how a lib would perceive this or that statement, but I looked through your whole post again when I saw that and couldn't find anything that could be misconstrued that way (nor could another user I mentioned this to).
Edit: I double checked and the poster is on sh.itjust.works, it was just a portion of the commenters (including the big comment that got highlighted here) that're on .world
