It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this. Posts that do not meet this requirement can be posted to [email protected]

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Reminds me of arguing with my brother on social media. He's a fucking idiot but when you say the right things, it triggers something in him and he starts using "ergo" instead of therefore randomly out of the blue.

Scratched liberals try so very hard to seem unemotional and above it all when that happens, too.

In his defence, he's not a scratched lib, he's a fully out and proud fascist.

E: correction, he's a "libertarian".

I know the type; most of my biological relatives are like that, and what's amazing is they're ethnically descended a variety of people that i-am-adolf-hitler was happy to exterminate and a lot of them are now fucking fans of his. sus-soviet

Is this the type that hates themselves or the type that thinks they wouldn't get exterminated because they're One Of The Good Ones™?

Both.

They're the type that talk about what d-word-nazis-like much of their own ethicities are and they also talk about what they'd have done in WW2 to help "real good guys" win so that the d-word-nazis-like wouldn't take over the world and ruin society with atrocities like... the Civil Rights Movement. all-cops-always-bastards scared-fash They're that fucking awful. I flirt with opsec violation by stating that part of why I moved across the country was to never, ever, see any of them again and so that my offspring never have to in the first place.

That's uncomfortably vaguely familiar.

Unfortunately, it is not the only example. While some Jews (especially Herzlians) do internalize harmful stereotypes, it is rare for them to arrive at the extreme end of the spectrum. Andrew Auernheimer, Daniel Burros, Frank Collin, and Patrol 36 are a few instances representing this extreme: they willingly promoted hatred of (other) Jews in spite of their genealogic links to them.

It is easy to laugh at these types for their obvious hypocrisy, but they should not be underestimated. Anton Arco‐Valley, for byspel, gained the respect of antisemitic gentiles (including Joseph Goebbels) by murdering a Jewish politician. The NYT quoted Hans Priwin, a member of the executive committee of the Association of German National Jews, to downplay antisemitism in the Third Reich. Reinhard Heydrich had some Jewish ancestry. I could go on. Pro‐Axis Jews are rare, but they can be no less dangerous than pro‐Axis gentiles.

By the way, it is interesting to compare how the Herzlian régime treated Patrol 36 to how it treats, say, Palestinian children. The Herzlians treated Patrol 36 with far more dignity than they treat even the youngest Palestinians.

I don't laugh because my formative years were surrounded by people whose ancestors were death camp targets and their open bigotry was never funny to me, not even in its hypocrisy.

That was the joke lol. I did the edit immediately after I made the comment.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago (1 children)

Ackshually, it was a full 89 seconds, therefore your entire argument is invalid

[–] [email protected] 5 points 4 weeks ago* (last edited 4 weeks ago)

I am a fraud.

How can you tell when I did the edit?

E: oh you can hover over the timestamp, duh.

Okay but also sometimes I get afraid of being misunderstood and I think a lot of ND people have that kind of experience and a sort of self-protection thing is then being very specific in your language

[–] [email protected] 19 points 4 weeks ago (2 children)

I get like this too, but i think that's different than pulling out $10 words to try and win an argument - autistic clarification is its own thing to me - I pretty readily switch to a more formal language if i feel misunderstood so i get it

but also

Think for a moment on the purpose of that utterance.

is somebody trying to win

[–] [email protected] 14 points 4 weeks ago

Oh yeah for sure, this dude is not doing the ND trauma response, this dude studied the blade.
I guess I felt the need to respond to the tweet, which also covered the overly verboseness.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 4 weeks ago

This, also I'm just too verbose lea-smug but more than that I've always liked or had a tendency to fight fire with fire.

~~Also maybe as a kid I wanted to be a lawyer, but that was more due to life reasons~~
