I know that there are a lot of trans people on hexbear, and I know their beliefs are sincere. What I don’t understand is how they square the fact that they would be brutally suppressed, raped, tortured, murdered by the very groups/governments they unwaveringly love and support. It sickens me. Is it a manifestation of self-hatred? I just don’t get why they would degrade themselves like this.

    My understanding is that the majority of them want to see America fall (for good reason IMO, we’re just billionaire slaves) so they vocally support the opposition to America. They understand the terrible aspects of some of those countries, but given we live in a western propaganda machine that covers those issues readily they focus on pointing out Americas hypocrisy and highlighting all the issues that our propaganda agencys (news) ignore and sweep under the rug.

    You’d be better of asking In an instance that isn’t defederated from them (like mine), I assume yours is defederated since nobody from hexbear is here yet.

      Some of them actively Stan for the authoritarian regimes and deny their atrocities, even when there is concrete proof. Even when it’s obvious who is in the wrong.

      Others are just pointing out why other countries respond negatively to the United States’ actions.

      They are not the same.

      Yeah but then they go and stay stupid shit like “censorship is a good thing”. So it’s kind of hard to understand the Tankie mind when they literally support oppression. Westerners may be brainwashed by propaganda but at least not all of them are authoritarian bootlickers.
