I think a little clarification is needed. No. I don’t actually think everyone there is insane. I don’t care about the bans so stop trying to use that. HB enthusiasts coming here and trying to call me out achieves nothing besides proving my point

Edit: Feel free to keep trying to brigade me. It’s not going to scare me to take this down

    Lol who the fuck said anything about Falun Gong? That’s out of left field. You got a bug in your programming?

      We were talking about cults, I brought them up as an example. I could have just as easily used Scientology.

          Right. I was saying that Hexbear isn’t a cult on the same level as the named examples, that it’s just some people with a different view of global politics than the norm, in response to a commenter who insisted that they were a dangerous cult that should be stamped out.

            Ah. Well I disagree, I think they’re on an equal level of danger and detachment from reality and susceptibility of their members to abuse. Definitely a cult.

            They’re not just people with different political views. They’re a cult that vigorously polices their orthodoxy. Dissent is not tolerated.
