I’ve noticed a peculiar phenomenon prevalent with the liberals. They have an inclination to diminish the complexity of those they perceive as adversaries by reducing them to caricatures or dehumanizing representations.
For instance, they liken Xi to Winnie the Pooh, depicting him in a manner that belittles his position and influence. Similarly, Putin is portrayed as a mad king, exaggerating his power and malevolence for dramatic effect. They characterize Russians as orcs, implying that they are inherently evil and lacking in humanity’s essential qualities of compassion and reason.
This trend seems to suggest a reluctance among liberals to engage with opposing viewpoints on their own merits, instead choosing to dismiss them outright or diminish their significance through caricatured representations. This approach may serve as a form of psychological defense mechanism, allowing individuals to avoid the discomfort and cognitive dissonance that can arise from confronting unfamiliar or challenging ideas.
A group, claiming to champion values such as empathy, inclusivity, and respect for diversity, appears to be engaging in a peculiar behavior: dehumanizing their opponents by reducing them to caricatures or diminishing their complexity. This trend is as a form of naked hypocrisy.
Exhibit A here folks.
This lib has equated “your tastes are juvenile” with telling them to off themselves. This ambitious stretch of reality is necessary to reduce this community to a hateful mob without nuanced opinion in their eyes.
Lol. Of course, it’s easier for you to decide how a specific conversation that you were not part of went** went, because of course you know better then the person telling you about it does. Let’s just call everybody we disagree with stupid libs who dehumanises dictators and keep jerking one another with our little arrogant tone.
While you prepare the revolution from your mom’s basement, I will keep doing some real activism. You should really consider a move to russis tho.
We are merely saying that your discription does not match our experience of hexbear.
We dont call everyone we disagree with a lib, if you have never noticed some of the biggest disagreements of communism will come between comunists, we do call liberals liberals, and dictator is a strong word, I can make a convincing argument that Joe Biden is a tyrannical dictator, but I doubt you wpuld give it a second glance, I am going to need a tighter deffiniton on that term, not only that but the OP also mentioned Liberals tendincy to call Russians “Orcs”. Your minimization also does not allow you to fully understand the geopolitical motives, Why does the DPRK move for nukes and test them regularly WHY is Russia involved with the Ukraine, this minimization only harms the topics being talked about.
I do not understand where the parents basment came from, however that seems to be making light of the economic conditions that Liberal Policies have put us in (and is the minimization that the OP talks about) but in the community we have Union Leaders, Party leaders, agitators and workers, we had a demographic survey not to long ago that showed a considerable grouping of people here.
I Also feel I should ask what you define as “real activism” and how effective it is, as studies show the will of the US people has no effect on the movement of the US government.
Lastly your move to another country (Russia in this case), skipping all the inharent issues with that line of thinking, first how are we going to move, any move os expensive let alone across an international boarder, and getting the proper visas and Residence statuses, and technically some countries, like the US you need promisson to leave, so who is going to be paying for this you? And second Russia isn’t communist, please if you learn nothing else from this learn russia is very capitalist, there was an illegal dissolutionment of a country and looting of a nation, and bombing of a Parliament over this
Edit: This thread where you are overly antagonist https://lemmygrad.ml/comment/3197853
I’m relieved to say I wasn’t part of it. I’m not about to take your word on how it really went down though since I can read.

If your wondering
The amount of projection and lack of self awareness in this comment.
Why is this always you crackers’ move when you feel you’ve been slighted by people raising valid criticisms of you? It’s always either “you should move to russia”, “if you don’t minstrel out for our guy, their guy will do a thousand times worse to you; and i can’t wait to watch it”, or “if you don’t like it go back to where you came from” just like the republican thugs you supposedly stand against.
Like-- do you not get how hilariously congruent with the MAGAts you are like that? You’re the exact same kind of invertebrate; and as such I don’t believe you’ve ever cut a check, held a picket, or stood on a line for anything that mattered in your life; nor do I believe you ever will. I’ve never known such a toxic liberal to be even the first step towards being on go.
