Yep, fair enough! Getting into politics is usually either out of necessity, or exposure to those who are already into politics. My first exposure to an ML was in high school, which was also when I first started genuinely grappling with my coming atheism, so even though I rejected ML (then) it pushed me more into politics. In college it was more of an exposure to anarchism thing.

I'd say I began my political journey in high school. Went through the "classical liberal" phase, was an anarchist for a while, then a weird pseudo ultraleft/cooperative focused "Marxist," then finally settled around ML, more accurately ML-MZT/XJT. The biggest accelerant to my political journey was working in an industrial environment right out of college, that ended up driving me to genuinely take theory more seriously.
Fucking ghoul.
The sjw instance admin straight up told me that China and Russia are "pushing the trans issue" to radicalize people against the US, so that tracks.
Shit, nevermind then. Very not cool.
I had no idea Hans Zimmer was cool like that
Holy shit that patch is amazing
That's an incredible amount of power to drop here
I made sure to include generally before, I get what you mean. There's no one recipe, oppose book worship and all that, but as a useful rule of thumb if a country that is being imperialized has a nationalist uprising against imperialism, it's almost certainly a progressive movement contextually.
Hexbear is explicitly anti-capitalist and anti-liberal. We're a bunch of Marxists and anarchists, and we aren't apologetic about it. That's the crux of the matter, really, those who oppose communism tend to oppose Hexbear.
A lot of the hate against Hexbear relies on deliberate misinterpretation, but a lot of it is as simple as the anti-Hexbear crowd being right-wing. There's also the "leftists" that oppose Hexbear because of a lack of correct understanding of theory and leftist history. There are also the people that don't vibe with Hexbear's more shitposty vibes.
If you consider yourself a Marxist or an anarchist, there's a good chance you'll fit in! If not, and you're interested in learning about Marxism or anarchism, then you'll also fit in! Welcome!
