  • Headline is a bit misleading. From the AP:

    He said Israeli leaders needed to “step up their game” and referred to Hezbollah, the group Israel fears may launch a large-scale attack from the country’s north, as “very smart.” In an interview that aired Thursday, he added to his criticism, saying Netanyahu “was not prepared” for the deadly weekend incursion from Gaza.

    Lmao according to that article he has personal beef with Netanyahu for acknowledging Biden’s win? Anyways, I went to his truthsocial and he’s only posting extreme Zionist stuff. He even has a couple videos going in about how he’s the “only president that can protect Israel, no one else will”


  • His base hates Israel because they hate Jews.

    Do they hate Israel? I mean, Trump was always a staunch Zionist, and quite a lot of anti-semites support Israel’s existence because they want Jewish people separate and away from from the west (and also, they’re even more Islamophobic than they are antisemitic)

    wait what? Hexbear is pretty established as largely millennial I feel. I’m a college student and I’ve been here since the subreddit when I was a high schooler, and I’ve always felt like one of the younger people here

    I’ve only found a couple other people mention their age being close to mine, and those same people also mentioned feeling younger than everyone else. It’s also pretty obvious to me the hexbear culture isn’t gen z for the most part. Lemmygrad is definitely younger




  • Ok, I would recommend texting lines and other online services instead of a counselor. I also think finding productive forums for this could help you out (places with actual support, not places that will make you feel worse).

    Don’t ever assure someone in a bad position that it’ll get better.

    I didn’t though. I said “life changes for the better for people all the time,” even people in extreme lifelong conditions like yours. I didn’t assure you anything will get better. I just meant it’s possible and attainable if you work towards it. That might be hard in your current state, but I don’t think it’s impossible. There’s a ton of good people out there. I’d hug you right now if I could.

    I’m sorry to hear that. You deserve as much as anyone, you’re not unlovable. I wish I could help you, but I’m not too good at this, or knowing what to say.

    I’ve been suicidal before, and while I haven’t experienced anything like that, I can assure you that life changes for the better for people all the time, even if it doesn’t seem like it will. You’re not stuck. There’s a lot of coldness in this world, but there’s also people you can meet if you put yourself out there. The other comment you got was sort of toxic, but they’re right in that if you put effort in it doesn’t have to be like that.

    I’d also recommend looking for community resources, local counselors, and maybe using a texting crisis line, like this. Idk about lemmy but there’s also probably a lot of productive mental health forums you can find all over the internet, for people with similar experiences that might be able to help you out better.



  • The far left eating its own

    Dude, blajah is as liberal as most instances here. Their top community literally has a banner that says “fuck tankies.” There was a lot of drama between our instances and hostility from the blajah mods/admins (leaking private pms to make fun of, an ableist slur from a mod, saying they’ll ban users over “tankie behavior” or “anything iffy from hexbear users,” etc).

    The only way we might’ve seen them as our allies was that we’re both largely queer communities. We never agreed on politics, but were willing to put that aside until all the hostility.
