    I don’t see how the video’s argument apply to lemmygrad and hexbear. We believe in what we say, our positions are clear, our instances are moderated to the point where you need to apply to create an account, so you can’t say there’s the same system as 4chan.

    Also when they say “own the liberals” they mean insulting women, LGBT people and non-white people. Go ahead and try doing so on Lemmygrad/Hexbear, you’ll get banned. What we call liberalism is the belief that the West is the world’s beacon of democracy, based on abstract and vague ideas of freedom.

      more fundamentally, it’s the idea that private property is an inviolable right that must be safeguarded at all costs. we’re anticapitalists.

        I often come into contact with self proclaimed anti-capitalists who don’t uphold private property but definitely swear only by vague ideas of freedom and think that the West is the democratic world vs the authoritarians. I call that a massive liberal no hesitation.
