boring as fuck jokes, liberal cringe opinions, 9 bad takes out of 10, and more galore. Should hexbear really keep associating itself with Chapo, it really seems that hexbear has outgrown it in general.
edit: by associating i mean using things like chapotraphouse com or askchapo or chapochat. maybe we’ve grown beyond it, maybe its a neat part of site culture and a nod to its roots while not connected to the cringe stuff.
Same, still listen very rarely (moved on to even more based/educational channels like Geopolitical Economy Report admittedly, or more informative ones)
TBH didn’t even know the connection between Chapo and Hexbear when I first joined a month ago- and this is despite having been around the old r/Chapo till- I think it got banned for saying death to slavers or some other based shit? (Ancient history). So the association isn’t very obvious (IMO).
Yeah iirc and i almost certainly don’t their excuse for finally axing us was people posting about killing slavers who were specifically already dead or something.
Agreed, was peak white imperialist fragility tbh
Yeah, I think everyone who was a fan of Chapo/Trueanon in 2016 has moved on to The Deprogram / Blowback / Democracy Now! etc.
I still tune in to Hasan and Chapo if a topic interests me, for things like movie reviews and stuff.
(Also Hasan has been blowing up in my feed because of all the Twitch drama atm)
I really doubt that this is the case. The Deprogram seems to have a much younger audience than Chapo and TA (at least if their subreddit is anything to go by and a lot of their stuff seems to be purposely geared in that direction as a sort of “baby’s first socialism”), and DN is just a completely different concept altogether. Blowback seems to be popular with basically everyone, but is also a very different concept.
Yup… and those who were in r/cth moved to- other places, wherever they might be. I wound up in r/Sino and r/GenZedong (still look once in a while) before hopping onto the 'grad, and then coming here (for emotes and larger community) lol
As for the users, there’s overlap between r/TheDeprogram, r/LateStageCapitalism, r/WorkersStrikeBack… and here and Lemmygrad, but I don’t envy anyone who stayed on reddit cos the place is hella astroturfed right now, between Zionists and Liberal “Harm Reduction” Dems (I know I repeat myself, but still).
Lol I happen to be a mod in one of those subs and holy shit have the libs been going wild lately. We’re probably banning like 1500 people a week or something
