In this thread we see how the hexbear tankie brigades to shout against anything that could be conceived as actual popular progressivism in the USA.
- Wow it's almost like leading the mobilisation of a working class party only to then disarm it by capitulating to the capitalist duopoly makes your supporters hate you.
  A majority of american hexbear users are former Bernie bros from r/chapotraphouse who now hate him for giving in to the dems. Look where that got us.
  
  BINGO
  
  For all the things he and the "social" dems have said, all they've done in practice over the last 8 years is defang the labor movement by absorbing populist left into the dems.
  
  I might take you folks lot more seriously if you put in even some tiny percentage of the effort into fighting against and yelling about the actually destructive and evil shit that the current admin and his buddies around the world are up to as you do about the Democrats and anyone who makes any effort at progress in America.
  
  The first part of the comment is correct, and I'm pretty sure most HB users who can are organizing and arming themselves (not just "yelling"). If not, I agree they should be.
  The second part implies that half of the genocidal duopoly is "progressive", which is kinda funny.
- I’m not a tankie and I worked for Bernie’s first campaign volunteering. He’s all talk no walk. The time for doing something was after the DNC fucked him over in 2016. Were out of time now. The technology is a lot further ahead and the fascists control everything. They’re speed running collapse so they can rule the rubble and kill off a bunch of undesirables in the process.
  Democrats and “social democrats” are spineless.
- I'm thinking that I can't see them because we have them defederated. It's kind of like there are ghosts in many of these threads.
  
  More than 50% at the moment. It's kind of an amusing spectacle to watch them get all frothed up over people like AOC and Sanders who make actual policy proposals to benefit people, while real world authoritarian dictators are at least ignored and often praised.
