China has lashed out at Germany after its foreign minister called Xi Jinping a “dictator” and summoned Berlin’s ambassador for a dressing down, in the latest flaring of tensions with a western democratic power over how the Chinese leader is described overseas.

Never hear a dissenting opinion. I'll take, what is an echo chamber for $200.

There's differing opinions and then there's just shittalking. When it comes to differing opinions most of Hexbear interactions deliberately (by the admission of their own users) fall under shittalking. They deliberately antagonize and troll anyone with a different opinion because in their mind anyone who doesn't agree with them should be trolled. You don't get differing opinions from Hexbear, you get a bastardization of a differing opinion. One that is different only on the basis them telling you you're wrong, and in most cases even that has to be intuited.

Nobody should wade through shit to get a few nuggets of gold which is why most people just block Hexbear.

Just because they blocked Hexbear doesn't mean they block all the opinions they dislike.

Hexbear is just full of radicals and trolls.
