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

"their propaganda masters"

They literally can't comprehend having an ideology that isn't drip fed to them.

Their ideology literally can't comprehend anything more complex than "Team Blue" and "Team Red". If you hate Team Blue, you must be on Team Red even if you claim otherwise.

Well, I'm on team :red-team:. Just not that team red.

Yeah if there's one things Hexbears famously love its Russian's anti-LGBT policies. We are constantly saying "its good Russia oppresses gay and trans people" its like our favorite thing.

I think there's a significant chance some Lemmy liberal may directly quote you as an ah-ha moment.

Imagine being so bloodthirsty that you view "Trump and Biden both represent facets of American imperialism" as a defense of Trump.

[–] [email protected] 55 points 10 months ago

The fact that you don’t see orange when you close your eyes and have panic attacks when you shop in the fruit section is evidence that you’re pro-trump, pro-republican, and pro-Putin. It’s that simple.

Folks, the bourgeois, they're no good, more and more people are saying it. All these workers— the biggest, we have the biggest workers— very handsome workers come up to me and say, Comrade Trump there is a specter haunting Europe, and you know what, they're right. These bourgeois are very nasty people, very very rude, and very unfair to the workers. They are stealing our surplus value and no one is doing anything about it. The proletariat comes up to me every day and says, Comrade Trump will you lead the revolution? And I gotta turn to them and say look, the instruments of capitalism will be used to bring about its destruction, believe me. The means of production, Obama never wanted to seize them. Well guess what? I'm seizing them. Landlords? They're done for folks. Everyone told me— they said, Comrade Trump you won't be the vanguard of the revolution and they would laugh, the media laughed the democrats laughed, guess who's laughing now? trump-yassified

ah yes, hexbear, who is ~33% trans, is in love with putin and is disingenuous about supporting trans rights

[–] [email protected] 69 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Remember, we’re only trans when it’s convenient. Which is a thing that being trans can be, apparently.

[–] [email protected] 54 points 10 months ago (1 children)

wish i could conveniently yeet my dysphoria away whenever a liberal thought i wasnt trans

It comes from completely ignoring what other people say because you immediately dismiss them as russian or chinese bots without examining their arguments. If they disagree with me, they are a bot. End of thought.

[–] [email protected] 64 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Aren't they the least bit concerned that Russia and China have turing-complete bots while America's chat gpt will tell you you can melt an egg?

wdym you can totally melt an egg just microwave it

100% complete and total fabrication, it has no basis in reality, trump is a fucking dickhead.

He's funny though and libs don't like acknowledging that. His catty, petty behaviour is honestly good entertainment.

They also don't like the fact we acknowledge trump isn't particularly different to any other president, which we hate just as equally. He just doesn't have the correct presidential behaviour for them and that's it really.

These fascists that are willing to just openly lie now have no opposition so you can guess easily how lemmyworld will turn out. Far right are actively working to pipeline its users, the ones that can't be pipelined will just leave as it slowly dawns on them that they're surrounded by nazis.

If you lot are actually all right wing trolls who've been pretending to be communists for the past three years all while creating one of the few websites out there that is friendly to transpeople, you gotta tell me.

Like, give me a clue or something, if the theory I've read based on user recommendations is a bit and you're all reading Atlas Shrugged behind my back instead.

BMF-levels of inscrutable, but it's not even funny

[–] [email protected] 62 points 10 months ago

BMF was incoherent in a literal sense, but coherent in a spiritual, poetic sense. This is just boring nonsense made of nothing.

The fact that Trump was the funniest president doesn't mean he was a good president

Bush jr. had it for a while. I lost my shit when he admitted he pirated the beetles songs on the news when he talked about his iPod.

I just want to sit a goober like this down and ask them to explain in exhaustive detail what they think a tankie is. How are you an adult and this fucking stupid. Do words have meaning.

Recognizing Russia as a counter weight to U.S. is not 'supporting Putin'.

They are also not acknowledging that the dissolution of the USSR is responsible for Eastern Europe and Russia being so socially reactionary compared to socialist states. Also, don't ask Ukrainians and Poles what they think of LGBTQ+.

Also, Trump is a hilarious clown provided he isn't in the office.

[–] [email protected] 51 points 10 months ago (3 children)

Definitely one of the weirdest things about the current liberal zeitgeist is the whole "gay marriage is non negotioable" NATO supporting shit and hatred for Russia's anti-queer policies.... and the country who's flag they all fly and support unconditionally is... Ukraine??? How in the fuck does that track? Ukraine isn't remotely good on LGBT issues.

It is funny to mention Trump around tankies and watch their heads explode. They can't pretend Trump is a communist, but their propaganda masters don't want them to turn against the Republicans, so they're just in this weird space where the only thing they can do is aggressively avoid the topic at all.

Liberals must be pro George Bush since they’re not constantly talking about the former president. And of course this is the result of Putin’s masterminding reality

Wait this is supposed to be a satirical comment not a factual one

I do wonder about these conspiracy theories about what is a very readable and accessible platform. Like, you could verify any of these claims.

[–] [email protected] 56 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (8 children)

Liberal response to Trump Derangement Syndrome accusations is to project it out dumber, less sensical, and more conspiratorial.

Libs have never read political theory in their lives but that doesn't stop them from thinking that they're the next Adam Smith.
