“I’m almost surprised you’re not antisemitic Elias,” a chat member once wrote. “It usually goes hand and hand [sic] with the whole Stalin did nothing wrong mantra,” alluding to Rodriguez’s support for old school communism.
“One of the biggest things that stalin [sic] didn’t do wrong was ending the most antisemitic regime ever yet known 2 man,” Rodriguez responded.
Still, when it came to race, Rodriquez’s hatred seemed reserved for white people.
“Lol you probably would have to actually genocide white people to make this a normal country,” Rodriguez wrote in one post. “Like even a very targeted and selective rehabilitation program would probably have to lead to the lifetime imprisonments of tens of millions of white people.”
👀
In all his rage though, Rodriguez had an almost wide-eyed optimism about the global south, which as a self-identified Maoist Third Worldist, he believed alone had “revolutionary potential.”
Man if only we had an organization with proper outreach and education to recruit people like this to the mass cause and not have them be lost to adventurism.
wait dude might have been a poster here lmao
I’d make a joke about UlyssesT but there’s nothing about Star Citizen in these chat logs.
Feel like UlyssesT also was probably closer to 40 than this dude, but just need some tech-bro hatred and yeah I could see it.

The signs were there. He’s fluent in Maoist Standard English.
I looked through his tweets some more. He had a bluesky account which is now banned.

Holy shit, the teaching chat gpt Mao standard English screenshot has been posted on hexbear before! I swear it!
He’s a hexbear we’re cooked, FBI coming for the site
Really didn’t like PSL so I doubt he was on here. I mean, maybe he was and he just didn’t talk about China or he’d get bullied.
Anyone know what happened between him and them yet? Sounds like he flirted with them then something happened.
He’s a Maoist Third Worldist so I suspect it’s just an ideological thing, PSL is pro-China so MTW types have that hangup.
Yeah if he was MTW at the time he joined the party, then he probably walked into his first meeting for planning an educational event and started going “UNLIMITED GENOCIDE ON ALL KKKRAKKKER$” and it was determined that it was not a mutually beneficial fit.
eh, if the AFP were gonna visit me they would have done it by now
In answer to your inquiry :
National and racial chauvinism is a vestige of the misanthropic customs characteristic of the period of cannibalism. Anti-semitism, as an extreme form of racial chauvinism, is the most dangerous vestige of cannibalism.
Anti-semitism is of advantage to the exploiters as a lightning conductor that deflects the blows aimed by the working people at capitalism. Anti-semitism is dangerous for the working people as being a false path that leads them off the right road and lands them in the jungle. Hence Communists, as consistent internationalists, cannot but be irreconcilable, sworn enemies of anti-semitism.
In the U.S.S.R. anti-semitism is punishable with the utmost severity of the law as a phenomenon deeply hostile to the Soviet system. Under U.S.S.R. law active anti-semites are liable to the death penalty.

anticommunists and just making shit up, you cannot name a better duo
Uhh… is there a user who suspiciously disappeared on this site?
UlyssesT appears to have been busy since they left
A pile of rubbish will be heaped on him which the winds of history will sweep away without mercy.
Seems like this guy was consistent for many years. If they searched my chat logs they could prob find beliefs I had years ago that contradict what I believe now
Pro-
And Anti-

Let him go,
he is basedHonestly he does suck (ableism)

For example, Rodriguez attacked another member of the chat who he saw as privileged, for lamenting about the challenges of having a brother with schizophrenica. Rodriguez said in posts:
-
“Why not just have him committed? You can’t possibly be gaining anything from a relationship with a person like that.”
-
“Just put him in a padded room and forget about him. If there was a person you loved, he’s gone now. Let it go.”
-
“I’m just tired of hearing about this guy … He’s useless, we get it. Stop complaining and just dispose of him.”
Every single person on this website has said something in private at some point in their lives that, when stripped completely of context and publicized without their consent, would make them look worse than this single cherry-picked instance of personal weakness. Klippenstein, for all the value I think he has as a journalist (compared to his peers anyway), is still an American liberal anticommunist. He dug through a decade of private chats specifically looking for the most controversial things he could find, and this is the worst thing he could find to say about a committed communist sacrificing his life for the cause of Palestinian liberation.
^^^^ This guy is going away to prison for his whole life. He obviously shouldn’t have done it, and shouldn’t have said that stuff about his friend’s brother either. But the least we should do is extend a bit of grace and show him solidarity.
Yeah you’d get banned for saying that shit here, I hope.
Mostly based with bannable characteristics.
Sounds like a lemmy.ml user, Hexbear is safe.
Hexbear Walter White in the car screaming at Hank.ml as the feds roll us.
someone would rightly get banned here for saying a lot less than any of those statements alone.
Say that shit to my face or any of my comrades and I’m throwing hands. Not in some bullshit machismo tough guy way either. More like a I’m seeing red and am now trying to kill you type shit.
Fuck all the way off with that. You don’t get to cosplay as a comrade and then say some fascist bullshit.
Really depends on how fucked up the shit the schizophrenic person gets up to was tbh. Some are extremely problematic and very difficult to handle, like a danger to everyone around them, keep knives in locked drawers and expect daily instances of real and damaging violence, if they get sharp objects expect real and serious injuries, always have emergency first aid on standby… That kind of serious.
I can very much see how someone can come to the “this isn’t something you should be handling at home” position at the extremes of this condition. I can also see how some people could be so committed to NOT using a dedicated mental health home too though and having it destroy them and everyone around them.
It could be a very difficult one we don’t understand fully without greater context.
Stop complaining and just dispose of him.
Is a very fucking far cry from “you can’t handle this at home”. It sounds like he went full eugenics on the basis of “having to hear about it online”, which is not a good look. Maybe the full context is different but I have been pretty fucking ground down without ever suggesting someone “dispose” of their brother because I was sick of hearing about it.
Honestly as someone who’s been committed if I was going to be committed indefinitely I would prefer it if the person doing that out of “compassion” just slit my throat while laughing.
Many psych wards are just prisons without activities were expressing frustration gets you immediately sedated and you’re forced to fuck with your mind.
Inpatient treatment acutely works for some people, but I have never known someone chronically committed who was having a good time. Schizophrenia is pretty treatable, and only a tiny minority of people with it are ever violent towards others.
Paternalistic insitutionalising against someone’s consent is pretty disgusting. I don’t really care what the label is, people who aren’t hurting others have a right to be free and people have a right to choose what treatments they want or don’t want. People also deserve to be treated as individuals and not have behaviours assumed because some old fart in a Tweed jacket slapped a label on them.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying this in like some take that this isn’t a pretty rough thing for someone to be saying… But from the perspective that I want to believe the best in people and do recognise there are some situations where I can kind of understand how people reach the end of their tether to compassion with this.
It’s rough. I live with daily stories from a family member that works in an nhs hospital though. We potentially have completely different opinions on how bad care and support is because of our different systems, I suspect it’s slightly better here than the prison conditions you’re describing of the american ones but I don’t know first hand I have to admit.
I’m from Australia. Funding is so bad nurses have to supply their own pens.
When I was committed my options were watch day time TV in a room of unfamiliar people doing strange things or try to not watch daytime TV in a room full of unfamiliar people doing strange things.
Literally prisoners have more privacy and personal space, also more books and the option for classes etc. Also prisoners aren’t forced to take sedatives that make you feel sick and make pissing difficult.
I’d want to kill myself too if someone forced me to watch antique’s roadshow all day everyday
Tell me to “dispose” of any human on earth like they’re garbage and I’m fighting you full stop.
You can tell me it was a poor choice of words when they fix your jaw.
Yeah it’s tough because there really aren’t good systems in place for helping people like this unless you have a shitload of money (gee what a surprise I wonder why)
But yeah if you say shit like what this guy did in front of me, as someone who’s brother had schizophrenia, yeah, dude’s gettin’ put in his place, some way or another
This makes sense to me. There is a specific kinda fatalistic ableism you can get watching a loved one suffer from mentally illness and take the rest of the family down with them. I am not saying it’s right. I am saying I can see how someone prone to adventurism would develop ideas like that.
Watching a suffering person make so many others suffer and knowing there might be no way to fix it is soul destroying for many people. When you consider the kind of fatalism requires for adventure time. 🧮
It is possible that all his talk of third-worldism and all that is just affectations he picked up from podcasts. Which is why the type who would do a shooting like this talks like a based poster.
I have a hard time that someone who truly believes those things also has a blind spot for ableism that hadn’t been beaten out of them by comrades. It seems more likely it’s just the leftist equivalent of a pepe poster.
Nah his goodreads got published and it was dozens of serious theory and history books. Dude knew what was what.
can you please link?
Cursed numbers in the link
I believe it, ableism is widespread among western communists in my experience. This seems more extreme than most, but still not particularly surprising to me.
Sounds like he might have been sarcastic or just mentally unwell at the time.
Ngl he seems the type of leftist that is contrarian and discontentious for the sake of it. Maybe he had some ableist tendencies and used maoist theory as an excuse to indulge in it/feel self-righteous because he is “the only sane voice” in his mind.
When you learned theory from listening to Cumtown
Nah his goodreads got published and it was dozens of serious theory and history books. Dude knew what was what

lmao holy shit chat is this real he was a Maoist Third Worldist?
It would certainly go a long way to explain the adventurism. Self-identified Maoist Third Worldists, in the so-called First World really baffle me

dude spoke no lies ngl, almost feel like the ableist part was put in to make him not likable
idk brainwroms be brainworms. there’s plenty of people who are right about whitey and right about economics but haven’t been made to reexamine the cultural osmosis take on geopolitics or other minoritized groups.
i mean we dont even know the context it was said in, if it was in the context of the person being physically abusive (it seems the comments were in reaction to something) i could understand the sentiment but still not like the phrasing.
also it feels weird to dig through a guys private texts for the past 10 years for the spectacle. im sure ive said things that would sound horrible to 99% of people if taken out of context from a private dm, especially stuff i said when i was much younger and pre-transition
TBH I think Ken probably just had to add some negative stuff after laying out the meat of this piece, because if he only included the positive stuff he’d get more FBI visits.
more fbi visits = more attention and money tbh. he should start talking about how great maoism is
“haha what if hexbear was being monitored by the fbi” okay so what did we learn about the curse of prophecy
I don’t agree. Most of them will just fall into line living their lives in the new state. The ones that matter will be fighters and they’ll mostly die fighting. The ones that do not wish to fight will just fall into their lives in the new country.
Their children will be educated by the new state and their children will be better people.
I think I mostly agree with you, but how could it be possible to just fix the settler problem by education alone out in the countryside of the US? Would it not become a reactionary stronghold? How could you consistently find teachers in extremely white rural areas who wouldn’t just reproduce the white supremacist ideology for the next generation?
Like, think about why the Great Leap Forward and Cultural Revolution were pursued in China. And in China, the bourgeoisie was a relatively small portion of the population even in the countryside with all the landlords. In the US, essentially every white person who owns land is literally benefitting from a multiple century long settle colonialist program. I don’t know if you fix that just by putting the more relatively progressive people in charge of education.
If you can’t get them locally then ship em in from loyal party members. Is the party cadre going to enjoy that outcome? Fuck no. But they could do it. Give them a double-job as living in the area will make them useful for analysing how to alleviate the poverty there.
Once people’s lives start actively improving they will not be a problem.
You could move the settlers out of rural areas and return it to Indigenous stewardship/ allow it to rewild.
Going back and upholding all the various 19th century treaties with each First Nation seems like both the hardest sell but also the most necessary part of a revolutionary program in the US.
I imagine in this context the treaties don’t hold up because the US no longer exists, so it’s really just relocating settlers away from rural areas and letting indigenous people do whatever they want. There would need to be new rules and boundaries established due to climate change and the fact they many Indigenous nations don’t exist anymore or have been forced to leave their ancestral lands, but I think trying to relitigate old treaties is less elegant than other solutions
That is never going to be feasible in the first place. Lifetime imprisonment for 10-90 million people? Think of the logistics, think of the resources needed to make that happen. Like one prison riot and your revolution is over.
China is doing it to the Uyghurs in Xinjiang right now. 500 million people in prison. Putting the ethics aside, I’ve found it a pretty huge inspiration for my Factorio playthrough to try to replicate the logistical achievement.
Yes of course the PRC has 50% of the Chinese population in prison. This makes total sense.
Mao once said that political power grows out the center of a TARDIS, that’s how they manage to find enough space for everyone.
China is an authoritarian state, they mandate that the 50% least loyal population are uygulag’d at all times.
How else are they supposed to transition to green energy as quickly as they are? Extracting electricity directly from the human body is the cleanest energy possible
