I didn't make the meme. I didn't plan to make a meme. My life doesn't revolve around what hexbears might think of me.
Can you blame me for thinking you care what hexbears think about you? Like, look at this thread we're posting in, look at the meme you started it with (I'm assuming you made this one). It sure seems like you care, and that's ok! I also care what hexbears think about me, even though I'll never meet these weirdo nerds in real life.
Also, if you didn't make the meme and you agree it's anti-communist misinformation, then why post it? And why defend it so vigorously when people point out the misinformation?
Anyway, I have to actually stop putting work off now, so I likely won't be responding to you for at least several hours. I sincerely hope you have a good day, don't let internet arguments get you down too much, ok? The internet is a toxic shithole and it's very, very easy to escalate arguments way too far, even with people who you really have more in common with than not. I know I do it.
Well this is a just a cathartic meme after the first day. The first meme was posted as "good enough" without too close attention to it and the expectation that only anarchists would see it. Subsequently I was perfectly happy to let hexbears counter it all they wanted. Hell, good opportunity for Hexbears to change some hearts and minds, eh? /hide_the_pain_harold
It wasn't an appeal to you being concerned about what hexbears think, it was an appeal to your own sense of what decent conduct is, since you presumably don't want to mislead your fellow anarchists with completely false myths.
