I, for one, will be laughing my ass off when this site gets headlined in Bloomberg or CNBC or some dumb shit.
I would honest to god hitchhike to the USA vs. Hexbear Collective trial to give a witness testimony
Your honor, I’d like to enter into evidence exhibit A
:PIGPOOPBALLS:
Rip Hexbear servers.
On the plus side though once the heat eases up we'd have gained a number of new comrades.
Lmao this coming from the US, whose government and corporations have dedicated meme teams. Pathetic projection. Really quite low effort.
exhibit 16: :xigma-male: :trump-anguish:
Xi has ordered all employees to worship him as a “chad” and displayed western leaders as “soyjaks” based on communications in internal documents
Do we know for a fact the users here are not undercover agents of the CCPP?
Oh my gosh, right? Like, where would someone even apply to do that? Is there like a specific website or something? Wild.
Unfortunately that's one of those "it's about who you know" career fields.
This seems like a wildly unconstitutional reach. I know it doesn't really matter, since power selectively applies its restrictions, but going :wojak-nooo: over shitposters is a new bizarre low.
I thought it was a 1st Amendment right to disseminate propaganda since it is political opinion, even if you're a foreign national, when it is in the jurisdiction of the United States.
That'll be their lawyers' defense probably, but I doubt it'll matter. Federal prosecutors have a leg up over defense attorneys from the get go, and any juror who hasn't been in cryogenic storage since the 1970s has been raised on a lifetime of China bad! conditioning.
So are they "making an example" to chill dissenting speach or is this just some kind of fishing expedition?
It's a new McCarthyism under a more desparate administration. The priority is to batten down the hatches and preserve the fed's degrading institutional legitmacy at all costs, including it and allied media institutions' monopoly on information.
Yeah, I agree with that. The aggressive, hilariously anti-free speech and anti-press clamp down on "russian" source, the constant repetition of messaging about russian propaganda, several high profile arrests on laughable charges of people acting as foreign agents, the constant outrage over tiktok, over chinese produced tech, and on and on and on. Seems like it's all ramping up towards show trials for sedition and being insufficiently patriotic about the evil designated enemy
It's 1957, but it's 1968, but it's 1982, but it's 2003, but it's 2016
Getting sent to gitmo for being an agent of a state that doesn't even exist anymore because I messaged my friend an "I serve the Soviet Union" meme once.
Is this the court case about "secret police stations"? Or a different one?

:fedposting: but for good
This confirms to me that there are feds on this site and the only reason no one’s been arrested is because no one here’s actually doing anything interesting
I'll have you know I made a very cool macaroni mermaid the other day
This is actually a refreshingly honest take about things once you reverse all the proper nouns
I've always made jokes that I was :fedposting:
I just never said who I was doing it for.

:mao-wave:
Seems like they were basically just doing kiwifarms shit to a Chinese dissident. Knowing the track records of Chinese dissidents recently I don't really feel sympathetic, though it is disgusting that they'll only hold you accountable for coordinated harassment if you're not white.
