  • There’s a few religious people on the website, I don’t know why you would imagine anything specific.

    There are still fundamental truths about dogmas that can be found. If we are going to imagine here, as a non-muslim baby leftist, I can’t imagine peaceful fascist ideologies, while I can imagine non homophobic Islam.

    The question of what something is, unless specified otherwise, always includes was and will be. Even if you could demonstrate that Islam is currently homophobic, (and I don’t think you were that specific in your original statement) as a whole it seems to be an unjust representation. Doubly so because it’s a faith, and voluntarily or not ends up being a proxy for the individuals that hold it.



















  • The whole mental health angle is reaching a bit far, but if anyone actually invokes it, I wouldn’t fight back. Like sure, you don’t want comment clashes, I can understand, I won’t trigger them.

    I just have a problem with considering the whole hexbear instance as toxic and ideologically dubious. I get why someone might feel like that, but seeing 5 top level comments repeating it when I just don’t believe it’s true, I felt like adding my grain of salt.

    We sit at the same table to try and bring the left together. I don’t care about helping Hexbear, I just wanna interest random users to challenge their views like I do. I have to work at standing up to others, true, but I haven’t encountered slurs, calls to violence or troll behavior from Hexbear, at least none that haven’t been resolved properly (though I’m sure it can happen).

    Sometimes you express a view that’s untrue or that lacks empathy and get called out for it. It feels insulting when it happens, but I doesn’t have to be.
