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
While the hypothesis of "fishhook theory" has long been held to scrutiny and doubt, a recent ground-breaking scientific breakthrough has been made by... two random pseudo-leftists on the internet... when they realized suddenly that the center-left has a strange history of allying with the far-right against communism.
True genius.
Yeah this is what liberals think. They believe humans have an ingrained, genetic method for how to organize society. However, they also believe liberalism overcomes our base genetic instincts to form a stable society as opposed to what's more natural to us. According to liberals, our more natural state is pillaging, stealing, oppressing one another, etc.
It's why you get liberals saying 'human nature' will always prevent leftist movements from succeeding. They believe only liberal democracy can overcome the ingrained, default way humans behave. It's such a bleak ideology honestly.
Makes me think of the religious types who don't understand how atheists can 'behave well' without the threat of eternal damnation
Telling on themselves a bit
It's funny to read the origins of liberal thinking, like Hobbes and Rousseau and so on, and see how much of it is just quasi-religious (or sometimes explicitly religious) beliefs about human nature or the soul or some other metaphysical nonsense. Liberal ideology is based on some shit that some dudes just made up.
