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

Hate it when two bad bitches fight like this
TBH, accusing a Georgian of "Russian chauvinism" is galaxy brain.
This is just "zelensky is jewish so he could never facilitate nazism" type argumentation, this was addressed during the debates at the time as they were specifically centered around the invasion of Georgia

"I think it is unnecessary to explain this to Bolsheviks, to Communists, in greater detail. And I think that in the present instance, as far as the Georgian nation is concerned, we have a typical case in which a genuinely proletarian attitude makes profound caution, thoughtfulness and a readiness to compromise a matter of necessity for us. The Georgian [Stalin] who is neglectful of this aspect of the question, or who carelessly flings about accusations of "nationalist-socialism" (whereas he himself is a real and true "nationalist-socialist", and even a vulgar Great-Russian bully), violates, in substance, the interests of proletarian class solidarity, for nothing holds up the development and strengthening of proletarian class solidarity so much as national injustice; "offended" nationals are not sensitive to anything so much as to the feeling of equality and the violation of this equality, if only through negligence or jest- to the violation of that equality by their proletarian comrades. That is why in this case it is better to over-do rather than under-do the concessions and leniency towards the national minorities. That is why, in this case, the fundamental interest of proletarian class struggle, requires that we never adopt a formal attitude to the national question, but always take into account the specific attitude of the proletarian of the oppressed (or small) nation towards the oppressor (or great) nation."
Stalin's (and coincidentally Rosa Luxemburg's) critique of this position was that it would strengthen nationalisms of national minorities and their nationalisms would be just as hostile to socialism as Russian nationalism. In fact, this difference of positions was driven by differing experiences - Lenin worked in predominantly Russian groups and mostly fought against Russian nationalism, while Stalin worked in Caucasian branch and fought local nationalisms there.
Actual Soviet policies were a compomise between positions of Lenin and Stalin, with great linguistic and political autonomy for national republics, but with military, educational and most economic questions being decided by central authorities,

I love how both Lenin and Stalin called the other one a lib at least once. Some things are eternal.
I swear to God conservapedia is an elaborate bit being done by Andy Kaufman.

You're on my list

I think of you more as an infamous bit than a lib
Beans Lettuce Tomato sandwich
Potato potato
The way this list is structured is enough of a joke on its own
Richard Dawkins
Yeah, pretty much
John Wayne Gacy
Throwing in a serial killer to discredit them, I guess that makes sense
Barack Hussein Obama
We're totally not racist
Adolf Hitler
Gacy was a registered democrat
It doesn’t mean much though since Bundy and Baumeister were republicans. I guess with Gacy is that he has connections to other serial killers and pedophiles who were part of a larger network, but not much tying political figures to it. Baumeister was very wealthy and a businessowner so he likely had some political connections.
He was pretty politically active actually, locally in the democratic party. But I wouldn't say he is the only democrat who loves systematic mass murder
But I wouldn't say he is the only democrat who loves systematic mass murder
:brandon:
Gacy: "I killed a fuck ton of people."
Joedolf Bidler: "Hold my beer."
This is fake because HUSSEIN isn't fully capitalized smh
There's also no "Sheik" before the name of Stalin.
not pictured: every hexbear dot net user other than myself
myself
excuse you, im the only leftist here
I would call Hitler a fucking lib to his face.
There's no way this isn't a bit
Many conservatives think Hitler and Mussolini was a communist/leftist.
Trust me, it isn't.
"NO U!" is practically a staple argument of CHUDs.
this is hilarious
This unironically made me laugh the fuck out way too fucking loud.
Jesus Christ, I've never seen a Hexbear post that tickled me this much.
they didnt need to do my boys 
and 
like this
would definitely call Hitler a lib to his face though 
Started reading their take of the Battle of Stalingrad on there just now and they suggest that the reason the Russians won was because Stalin knew a secret Russian Orthodox way to invoke God
Conservapedia tryna make Stalin look even more badass 
Sorta, it's kind of a funny read because they go somewhat factual, i.e. it looks bleak, and then instead of acknowledging Nazi Germany's inability to strategize they just go with Stalin gets the mandate of heaven here
Yeah that's fucking stupid & pretty goddamn funny

I'd make an "Everyone I Don't Like Is A Liberal, A Bedtime Story" joke here, but Conservapedia likes 
in polite company, or at the least, has critical support with criticism for him losing or not going far enough.
wait is pz myers mainstream famous? i thought he was just a blog and some conference talks outside of his day job
PZ Myers was famous for a blogger. He was starting to get fairly well known, like getting thrown out of theaters showing creationist films even though he was with Richard Dawkins who went unrecognized. But especially when the "new atheist" movement went mask off with the open racism, misogyny, etc, and Myers refused to go along with it and sided with the smaller contingent that were actually pro-feminism (the sjw's) it quickly killed his rising fame. Fame which would have petered out anyway as atheism stopped being the hot internet topic. And that's also the thing to keep in mind here. Conservapedia was made and its creators were trying to become famous around the same time, when new atheism vs creationism was all the rage. Myers being on the list is just because that site is like a snapshot of what the internet gave a shit about at that time. It's a time capsule from when Myers was somewhat relevant in the discourse, when conservapedia was also attempting to become relevant.
Unlike some others on the list, Myers is most definitely a liberal though. One of the few genuinely well-meaning ones from what I could tell, one who I would like to think would be a communist if he put half as much thought into it as he does biology and atheism. For example, he loudly came down on the correct side of trans rights in every circumstance I can think of, and given his clout as a professional biologist, that was always refreshing to see. It's been a long time since I've read or even thought about him though.
yeah i remember pharyngula. and then he did that freethoughtblogs thing for a while with a bunch of other radlb atheists.
Yeah, it was always pharyngula, still is for all I know. It just moved from being hosted on scienceblogs to freethoughtblogs. Where all the queer and trans atheists migrated after the great sjw rift of "elevatorgate."
This is my favorite part of conserveapedia
numerous attempts to derive E=mc² from first principles have failed.[3] Political pressure, however, has since made it impossible for anyone pursuing an academic career in science to even question the validity of this nonsensical equation. Simply put, E=mc² is liberal claptrap.
The formula asserts that the mass of an object, at constant energy, magically varies precisely in inverse proportion to the square of a change in the speed of light over time,[4] which violates conservation of mass and disagrees with commonsense.[5]
Running some science blog = approximate amount of infamy as literally stuffing children’s corpses into your crawl space 
As Marxist ideology sees Christianity as an enemy, it is unofficially satanic.
