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

At this point aren't they just nazbols? I'm not going to ask any of them (and I can't find the original post anymore so I can't link it), but that sub regularly attacks others for having Frantz Fanon and Edward Said in their libraries.

They remind of a bunch of things: patriotic socialists, nazbols, blue no matter who.

Also: how are you going to mourn over dead Nazis/Zionists but completely ignored dead Palestinians? That pic is unironically how they feel about the dead occupiers.

i think this is the link to the original post: https://www.reddit.com/r/Ultraleft/comments/1dii2hl/leftoid_ethnostate/

i have a hard time reading the conversation as anything but pro-colonial

[–] [email protected] 13 points 5 months ago

because the nazis and zionists were prole nazis and zionists (for some reason Palestinians aren't prole)

I dont really understand what the point of even having this position is. For people who care about decolonization it is obviously an important subject they will advocate for but if you are against it? What danger is there that it will even come to pass? It must be less likely to happen than solving global warming so why even bother arguing against it? You are getting mad at stuff that is so abstract and future facing you might as well be that cartoon with the guy making cardboard monsters.

"Ultraleft"

Has an Israeli flag as their picture.

Yep. Sounds like a reddit ultra alright.

i dived into that subreddit and still can't tell if it's all irony or not. it's all so ridiculous and weird the conclusions they draw

and i often peg as a "leftcom" myself on those lefty ideology tests.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 5 months ago

That's one hell of a leftist meme
