What if i compared the worst times in socialist countries with the best times in capitalist ones? That would probably make you cry

Which is rich because any mild critic of democrats defaults libs to whatabout orange man
Especially with Gaza.

my favorite thing about us interacting with liberals here is how they can't handle us talking normally. Just our normal communication style, casual chatting, is interpreted by them as wildly offensive and rude. And that's no matter what we're saying or how good faith we're communicating. It felt like even when I was trying to talk normally to libs here or federated I'd have to water down everything I said, or I'd get asked to denounce Stalin or the DPRK no matter what the topic was.
Or maybe that's just their defense mechanism? Like a squid spraying ink. When they don't have anything concrete to say they instantly complain about manners?
I'm new here and I couldn't even tell there were problems with how you guys communicate.
Hexbear gets reaaaally hostile when it's obvious that a person is acting in bad faith and not at all worth talking to. The crowd does not waste its time trying to engage bad faith actors and instead just switches over to hostility, pigpoopballs or fart noises.
If someone seems in good faith or willing to actually learn then it's pretty reasonable.

Usually the bad experiences people bring up are ones they instigate.
9/10 boils down to someone trying to be a debate pervert like ben Shapiro or trying to troll everyone.
Like no shit it's a bad experience when you come in hostile from the start.

I see it differently, I can feel a deep fire burning in almost all of Hexbear's comments, quite different from most communities that just whine without purpose.
One day I'll find out what this fire is aiming at. /s

Redditors all talk exactly the same like they're in a weird robot cult, so when they see internet people conversing in a normal, reasonably casual style and having a good time doing so it short circuits their brains
I believe it's really all they know. it's how they've been trained by MSM to think and speak. It's how they argue with conservatives, who have been similarly trained. When they are confronted with a different pattern they discover they have no other method in their arsenal and are compelled to switch to ego-defense.

You do realize the only citation there is radio free Asia right?
Oh so you didn't accept sources you don't agree with? Not very dialectical of you
A lib would never use the word “dialectical”. -10 social points
I thought my blatant misuse of it would make up for that fact

Consider human nature. It's innately programmed in our brains to hoard wealth
hoarding my cock and balls rn
As is your right!
TRUE CENTRISM HAS NEVER BEEN IMPLEMENTED!
EVERYTHING HAS ALWAYS BEEN OFF CENTER ON THE POLITICAL COMPASS!
Once we have true centrism, both those who want healthcare ands housing for all, and those who want extermination of lesser skull shapes will be equally unhappy as they will be getting a fraction of what they want.
THAT IS WHEN TRUE CENTRISM WILL BE REACHED AND HISTORY WILL TRULY END.

Question for tankies: when you're picking out your ideology, why don't you simply choose the lib-left part of the political compass instead of auth-left?
haven't you tankies learned that the auth-left is a trick? It's a bunch of fascists tricking you into thinking it's communism, but then they make a government that just does state capitalism, which is worse than normal capitalism. You're being fooled into believing you're far left, but actually, you're just the moderate wing of fascism.
Why can't you be more like social democrats, like Sweden or Denmark? Those ideologies aren't tricks by the capitalist elites to make you think you're further left than you actually are. Social democrats are the true far left, not fascists like you tankies. The social democrats are legitimate and that's why no social democratic country operates on imperialism.
I tried but some of the questions on the survey were very trickily worded.

If everybody gets paid the same, what's the incentive to be a doctor?
I literally overheard some chud on a train argue that point with a friend, and used that to conclude that that's why communism will never work. If everyone gets paid the same, then what's the challenge??? 
He reminded me of that 20th century banker in the TNG episode "The Neutral Zone", who wakes up in the 24th century after being thawed from his cryogenic state, and then asks Picard what even the point of living is in that century if material needs no longer exist, and people's want for riches and possessions is no longer a thing. Picard skillfully schools his ass. 
Me: what's the point of being alive if i have to constantly be looking for more income to survive
That fucking guy: what
that character is mentioned somewhere in like a star trek comic or novel or something. Turns out he defected to the Ferengi lmao
Ackshually 
(I'm a bit of a Trek nerd) in one of the novels he became the Federation ambassador on Ferenginar. They gave him that position because of his capitalist expertise, which makes it easier to deal with the Ferengi. They were like "You're just like them, so help us deal with them."

Idk, Cuba seems to pull it off.
Yeah by forcing people to become doctors at gunpoint. Slave doctors are still slaves

I'll take the contrary position, I find reading a dozen dunks of ppb and other derivative roasts cringe. Feels like the "two minute hate". Yeah yeah I know. I just don't like being mean.

I kinda miss it too. It always amused me to see them come in here with a smug attitude to own the tankies, and then get dunked on relentlessly. But maybe it's just me and my frustration at the state of things in the West which causes me get some sort of gratification from it.
