Idk what kind of left wing spaces yall find. Maybe if everyone didn't think hexbear was the boogeyman they'd realize how accepting they are

    Yep, super accepting, especially of Russian imperialism: "Instead of seeking peace our fascist government in Ukraine funds death squads in Russia to do terrorist attacks making the war worse".

    And Chinese killings: "The Tiananmen Square ‘Massacre’: The West’s Most Persuasive, Most Pervasive Lie."

    "As for the Uyghur thing, even western media has largely abandoned that point since it was too easy to see that no one was being killed".

    Those are just a few heavily upvoted comments that I found within 5 minutes of opening their page.

    Hexbear isn't a leftist space.

    They're leftist by virtue of being tankies.

    Tankies aren't leftists; I've yet to read a coherent and useful way of defining "leftist" that includes tankies as well as other groups that identify as such. That is to say, if we allow for the existence of entities that are mistaken or lie about being leftist, we are forced to exclude tankies.

    But their unity-through-force ideology, which is totally not just an excuse to be edgy and feel morally superior, but really and truly a coherent belief system, is definitely practical and pure, and not some slighly skewed picture of fascism with a handful of socialist buzzword decals slapped on top.

    So, therefore, Left!

    /s juuuuuuust in case

    I looked through your comments to understand why you reacted like that, and I realized you're either wildly politically illiterate or you can't do math. When your supporting argument for Wyoming being underrepresented is "they have 1 congress person" instead of an argument about the number per population it's kinda hard to tell which it is. The talk about the state being "big" makes me suspect it's the former, however.

    How many more square miles do you want that one person to represent, Professor?

    Take some number of citizens C.

    If the population of the state is P, let the number of Representatives (R) be P/C, rounded up [R=ceil(P/C)].

    Note how land area is not a part of the formula.

    If Texas were the size of Detroit while maintaining the total population size, would you argue in favor of reducing their representatives to 1 or even 0?

    If the answer is yes, you need to take a civics class. Your question is like asking how much wax you need to make a crayon be blue; the hue of the crayon is entirely independent of the total amount of wax. Hopefully that's an analogy you understand.

    Hexbear is better on this than most places to be honest. Surprising coming from a community that formed around Chapo, whose favourite insults are autistic and smooth brained.
