    The point of the comment is to point out the common misconception that the value of one [token of a currency] has anything to do with the strength of a currency. As described in the comment, the value of a singular token of a currency can be chosen arbitrarily.

    This, of course, doesn’t mean the map is factually incorrect.

    Do you see instances who’s main purpose is to represent “people inside the more mainstream American Overton window of mid right to far right” that are even nearly as popular as Hexbear?

    If you’re browsing all you frequently see posts from Hexbear users. I’m yet to come across a noticable amount of posts from users from an instance which represent the group you mentioned.

    (I couldn’t even name a single instance that fits that description, because if they exist, they’re not nearly as active as Hexbear.)

    Toxic people exist on all public instances. But on some they’re more common than on others.

    The issue with Hexbear is that their users tend to talk in a very demeaning and insulting manner. About half of the popular posts on Hexbear are about making fun of people or communities. Their political views are less of an issue; it’s more about their toxic behaviour.


  • You can limit capitalism without abolishing it.

    In Germany people are guaranteed 20/24 paid vacation days. That’s not profitable.

    That’s a limit imposed on capitalism. It can be done and has been done without abolishing capitalism.

    That’s just one of the thousands of policies that limit capitalism.

    You can limit capitalism (as literally every capitalist nation does) without abolishing it.

    Enforcing climate friendlyness would be just another limit.


  • Your first link is US only, your second link is about a completely seperate issue. You don’t need to dismantle capitalism to protect the climate.

    In Germany, where I live, the voters could easily vote for the greens “Grüne” and the left “Linke”.

    If those two parties had a majority in government, we’d have a climate friendly system in no time.

    But they don’t. We had a conservative government for 16 years. Now we have a center government, which sadly includes the small government / free market party “FDP”, blocking all significant progress.

    No systemic oppression stops people from voting Left/Greens. But they never did, and never will.

    There’s now an uprise of the far right party “AfD” in Germany, to the point it’s becoming one of the major parties.

    In Germany people have the choice readily available to stop actively damaging the climate.

    But every couple of years, they freely choose to not do that.

    I feel like many left-wing people regularly forget about the billions of people who genuinely do not care to do anything about climate change.
