Hexbear is left wing.

Lol exactly, thank you for reminding me why I hate that phrase so much 🤣

Ah yes, I too remember when the BBC openly advocated rape and lynching.

This is actually the truth. I am a CSA survivor, and I didn’t report and now I wish so bad I did.

If anyone reading this has recently been through it, report it now! Don’t wait 20 years like me to even confront it and then never have a chance at closure.

100% this. I wish I had… I’m only confronting it psychologically now, 20 years later, and I have to face the fact there’s no chance of getting justice.

They were responding to a comment about the legal system and problems with prosecuting SA cases, so of course they are going to be discussing that over the wider social implications.

I don’t know why you are jumping to conclusions here. The point they made about the legal system is extremely valid. As a survivor of CSA myself it’s something I confront in my mind every single day, but they are right: the opposite method would be horrific.

Lmao, yeh it sounds exactly like what I thought it would be. Attracts a certain type of person and politics.

I would say just generalizing capitalism as ‘bad’ is also not in good faith. It is not without issues, and letting it be completely unrestrained would probably be disastrous. But no other economic system has lifted more people out of abject poverty or driven technological innovation as hard. There are benefits.

Bruh, I don’t believe in late stage capitalism either but we are definitely living in capitalist economies in most of the world.

Capitalism isn’t just laissez-faire, completely free market type stuff. It’s a spectrum.

Lol

Lol yeh there’s still some wrinkles to be ironed out, I was accidentally posting loads of times because Jerboa told me my comment didn’t go through when really it did.
