    British legacy of colonialism. What a shame.

  • 007 spy shit, along with stuff like Mission Impossible and MacGyver being used to romanticize US imperialism and anti-communism.

    There's also Tomb Raider's Lara Croft engaging in plunder of other nation's indigenous artifacts and outright killing delicate, endangered wildlife.

    There's also the trend of rock, metal, and various other similar type bands showcasing nazi and white supremacist symbolism and rhetoric (Pantera's lead singer comes to mind) (from nazi salutes to iron crosses (Lemmy's guitar from Motorhead had these on them), to brown shirts and nazbol flags (Combichrist), to more subtle dogwhistles), stuff like confederate flags (Combichrist), and a few instances of members turning out to be perpetrators of SA (Tool's lead singer), and even things like vulgar misogyny and anti-LGBTQ+ themes (also Combichrist).

    There's a lot of insidious far-right influences in a lot of shit, and it's quite sad.

  • Can we get past the bullshit need to buy things from and sell shit to other people already? Make technology that actually fucking matters, that's actually interesting and assists in national development, and frees up the common person's schedule to engage in leisure, so we can all get the fuck on with our lives already?!

    It's boring as hell and annoying as fuck how commerce continues to chase after people and becoming an increasingly obstructive, invasive phenomenon. People don't want their lives to be plagued with ads! Why do you think daytime television is on its deathbed (apart from being an endless sea of reality TV)? If we need something, we'll fucking go looking for it.

    What do they care? They want total hegemony of content that caters to and enforces their hostile, exclusive world view.

    • Why does such a large portion of lemm.ee want to block hexbear.net? And, how can Hexbearians improve?

  • Hate clicks and hate traffic have pretty much always been a thing. You can see it pretty much anywhere you go. Silicon Valley platforms deliberately exploited this through algorithms designed to maximize engagement through hate and other negative emotional turmoil. Like a never ending car crash you can't look away from, so people would always be trapped for extended periods of time looking at stuff that made them miserable.

    Very profitable for those platforms.

    Another thing is people like to vent and be upset about shit, given their unfulfilling lives. It's just in this case, that energy is being funneled into bad faith engagement and counterproductive practices (misinformation).

  • Just curious here. What are your solutions to the endlessly decaying social and material conditions of the West?

    Edit: I think I got caught in the bit again

    • China is destroying the environment destroying industry, but at what cost?

  • The world isn't yours anymore, NATO. Fuck off, seethe and cope.

    We're moving forward.

    Communism will win and the world's people will be liberated from enslavement by neocolonial capital. Capitulate or fucking rot.

  • Yup, but I always post with lurkers in mind. Can't forget the invisible audience.

    I couldn't care less what the person with a bad take does with the information, so long as I can move the pieces on the chessboard just right.

    It also makes for good practice expressing myself.

  • Please censor that SA word with haste, otherwise your comment might be removed. Seen it happen here twice now.

    Edit: Thank you for taking steps.

  • Sex work is spawned out of desperation and lack of dignified opportunities that are reasonable to pursue.

    It's not unrealistic to "Believing you can just get rid of the oldest profession in the world" because we've already had massive progress doing this in places like China.

    Women would rather pursue careers in the STEM field and have dignified careers engaging in national development while also being homeowners and having disposable income that builds.

    We can get rid of sex work by eliminating the conditions of poverty driven by capitalism, which, like small time crime, demand will fall in proportion to rising living standards.

    Get real here.

  • Anyone claiming moral superiority over 9/11 jokes better have a fucking spotless post history.

    Damn right. I swear, it's always these nazi types that attempt to present themselves as the fucking Buddha. Just endless concern trolling and bad faith arguments all around.

    Yours has links and emoji flavour, so brava for the extra effort.

    Thank you

    You're also citing Wikipedia as a legitimate and credible source more than once

    Judging by your track record here, you're not long for Hexbear either

    You lose! Good day sir!
