If so, was it polled somewhere?

They're just an annoying bunch of wannabe communists who sound incredibly smug and post a ton of stickers in comments. Having said that I've moved to lemm.ee when lemmy.world defeterated from hexbear.

Wannabe communists

There's a lot to unpack in that one. First of all, how do you even gatekeep being a communist? Surely you don't hold a degree in Marxist-Leninist thought? Nor are you a hexbear yourself.

Or perhaps since you have this perception that we are all petite bourgeoisie (mostly white) in the imperialist core that we can't actually be communists (ignoring how paradoxical that is)

Perhaps communism in your mind is only for the "orient" and global south. Those in the "West" must just be play acting.

When you guys mention the imperial core, what are you talking about? DC? Hollywood? Wall Street? Brussels? London? Paris? Berlin? The Hague? Where is this imperial core you keep mentioning?

Where is this imperial core you keep mentioning?

Probably start with where all the giant battleships come from: https://www.businessinsider.com/magnitude-of-us-naval-dominance-2013-11

Why does the USA need all those battleships if they're not doing imperialism? Are they just cosmetic battleships? Just for shits and giggles?

They asked a question in good faith, and have since gotten it clarified. No need to be hostile.

I was answering his question, not trying to be hostile. I did not insult him at all. Just voicing my opinion.

Ok, so the imperial core is in DC to you, got it. The previous reply is more thoughtful than that.
