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

What the fuck is wrong with these people?

[–] [email protected] 80 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Reddit has completely broken their brains.

Seriously, the OP over there is genuinely deranged.

Like what the fuck is even going on here:

I hesitate to call them tankies because they don’t follow the same ideals. These people deride ‘the libs’ but engage in liberalism, calling themselves lgbtq friendly, then they call themselves communist but engage in materialism, they call themselves socialist but agree with authoritarianism.

I don’t know what to call them besides fascist, but fascist is so non-specific when dealing with these groups that it doesn’t help for identification. We actually need a new name for this group of fascists.

"Materialism is when you desire material wealth and possessions, my source is the song Material Girl" maybe-later-honey

"Materialism is when you desire material wealth and possessions, my source is the song Material Girl"

When I criticize a treat (or how it's made or who is exploited when it's made) and someone says that criticizing that treat is "against materialism" that's roughly the same take. yea

fascinating, linguists and philosophers would have a field day studying this person.

I didn't think it was possible to lose a language-game but this person has achieved it.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago

linguists [...] would have a field day

Fun fact: it's called a "field day" because that's where I'll be buried after I die of cringe and frothing rage at the political illiteracy of the average American

Liberals are famously LGBTQ friendly, and not the types of absolute clowns who make me want to yell "God, can you people please just stop circumlocuting and just call me a slur already? You're clearly about to have an aneurysm from not being permitted to call me [redacted] over my preferred pronouns."

And materialism famously has no place in communism, which is why Marx described dialectical vibesism in such depth in his magnum opus, Das Lemmypost; and socialism is fundamentally opposed to any and all authoritarian measures, because the ruling class famously just gives up its power when it's asked very very nicely.

I'm about to have a certified The Deprogram "thoroughly bleeped rant as the theme song fades in" moment istg

Liberals are famously LGBTQ friendly

That's why Disney is celebrating its 25th time ever LGBTQIA+ character that can be plausibly-deniably dialed back in interpretation and/or outright edited out of the feature entirely. capitalist-woke

Of course if you bring this up to a liberal they'll insist it only happens because of the evil dastardly CCP who hate gays too much for Disney to do more, but also Disney is thoroughly owned by the CCP because they want money

Or something

Jesus these people get off on being smugly confident about not knowing things.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago

Just absolute word salad

This is pure and inane projection coming from a .world user.

I'm kind of impressed by how they managed to construct whatever the hell that even is

I thought the whole point of the tankie pejorative in the past few years was to call actual communists muh redfash.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 1 year ago

The great thing about the word "tankie" is that it can mean anything you want.

Your neighbour who mowes their lawn at seven every sunday morning? Tankie.

That squirrel that keeps raiding your birdfeeder? Tankie.

Your wife wants a divorce? She's literally Stalin.
