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

Modern day Karl Kautsky's personal subreddit immediately starts emitting lethal levels of Hitler particles upon being told that it's bad to say racial slurs (www.reddit.com)

Ansar Allah: Has a fucked up antisemitic flag that says "A Curse Upon the Jews" on it but is also acting to help stop the genocide of Palestinians

Redditors: maddened peppino-angry "you cannot critically support these people despite their flaws while condemning their antistemitism and homophobia or you're an Islamist red fascist"

Ukrainian banderites: "Death to the Orcs, a curse upon the Jews, death to the Muslims, glory to Fascism. Russians are savage untermensch with a fundamentally violent culture", commits awful war crimes

redditors: so-true if you do not give these people unlimited supplies of weapons and support them utterly then you are a Putinist. Also if you complain about them saying racial slurs constantly you're also a Putinist.

This is an insult to Kautsky

[–] [email protected] 42 points 2 months ago (1 children)

yeah, at least Kautsky read Marx first before getting Marx wildly wrong

Not to mention actually participating in politics instead of whatever the fuck webcam does

Point number 2 stands out to me. Like, when I say Russians are orcs, I say it in a way that means the army, not civilians. Hell, I don’t know anybody that means civilians when they say orc

Ukrainians will frequently call Russian civilians that support the invasion orks as well.

Given the atrocities committed by the Russian military, I can't fault them.

Then again I'm the kinda guy that laughs at videos of orks on fire trying unsuccessfully to flee from drones hunting them, or when yet another T-80 joins the Russian Space Program when it tosses its turret.

Games workshop and its consequences have been a disaster for humanity

"Oh I don't mean [Deeply racist, vile implication of words], I mean it in a way like [Extremely generous, forgiving, neutral interpretation at best]. Everyone means that when they say [Nasty thing]"

If you've reached the point where you're unironically saying this, you're basically a member of the KKK without having a membership card yet

This is still funny-clown-hammer posting.

I did not want to click that.

This is not just some cringe attempt to dehumanize them because of the war. Ukrainians were calling them orcs for years now even before the official invasion because.

  1. Saying Russians are responsible for fake separatism in Donbas had them banned on social media for hate speech because it mentions nationality. So they started using LOTR term.
  1. They come from the east.

Literally "asiatic horde" logic

"Yeah, I'm a follower of the guy that was caught with a bunch of bestiality CP, now listen to my patronizing ding-bat opinions about world politics." smuglord

lol who was that?

[–] [email protected] 31 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Vaush, the streamer that the linked subreddit is based around. Around the start of this year (or maybe it was around the end of last year, internet stuff makes the memory hazy) he was going through his folders on stream and people saw his porn stash, recognized the names of the artists as "lolicon artists" specializing in horse-related bestiality, etc.

There were several streams on that "H3" guy's channel that brought a lot of attention to it outside of the typical online politics circles. He was getting roasted for it for weeks, but then I guess a big chunk of his audience decided they were cool watching him until he fully Mr. Hands-es himself and dies.

comparing the v-man to kaustsky is an insult to kautsky

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago

many people are saying this!

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 months ago (1 children)

if i had to come up with a scenario to prove "whiteness" and race in general was a construct then the quickness in which the whiteness was stripped from russians after the invasion of ukraine would sound too on the nose and unbelievable if it wasn't exactly what happened in reality

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago

To be fair, russia was the western world's greatest boogeyman and adversary for a very long time.
