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

Honestly the Picrew avi is enough to qualify someone forgulag imo

I've started writing off all picrew avatars as fake queers, Langley inhabitants, and NAFO dogs at this point. Feels real three-nos, keffals, blahaj.zone adjacent.

It's just pure contrarianism. It's like they ran an algorithm to decide what will be the least popular political takes and out spits that abomination.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (5 children)

no it's pure conformism. These are all of the takes of the establishment maybe if they defend it hard enough they will get a gold star and a well done

they are so pro establishment they are saying the things the establishment doesn't want explicitly laid out because they don't see the problem with these statements

To some extent I agree; 9/11 was justified.

When someone has this combination of emojis I assume they're a cryptonazi. It's esoteric behaviour and combining mass amounts of shit together into a confusing mess in a deliberate way that seems to intentionally be confusing for the sake of it. When a person does that I assume it's because they think they're cleverly hiding something behind the confusing convoluted soup of ideology they've concocted.

this person clearly means to express support for Hamas

Ukraine, Israel, anti-Communism

Pink Capitalist, Globalist, and Anti-Italian

Oh so Hamas did nothing wrong then?

9/11 did nothing wrong

And they say we are the ones who will use any means necessary to force communism onto people. Thank you neo-liberals, I just hate you more.

state ideologies

anarcho-neoliberals literally believe overthrowing Ukraine's president for finance imperialist corpos to have free markets is revolutionary and actual Marxism unlike "Stalinist authoritarian regulations". Biden is CRUEL and RACIST to stop Mexicans from crossing the border to sell blood! SMASH THE STATE!!!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 9 months ago

I was racist, but then a bomb blew up my mother. As I watched my mother's mangled corpse being pulled out of the rubble that made up my apartment block, I was shocked and overcome with the stunning realization that race is actually only skin deep and that my workplace should have affirmative action hiring policies

Why do neolibs talk as if they aren't disenfranchised? This brunch-goer is a citizen of an aggressive country speaking as if he is one of the .1% making decisions instead of what he would be if this "thought" was taken seriously by someone who was: some poor bastard at the bottom of the rubble.

Since it is so pervasive among them, do you suppose they learn this attitude from the tone of the articles they read? I keep trying to come up with an analogue for it. Like picking up the tab at dinner with friends when you can't afford it? You know what i mean?

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago* (last edited 9 months ago) (2 children)

If you align your beliefs with those in power, you can fool yourself into thinking you aren't disenfranchised.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Ah...yeah, you know what im tryina say. Or likegrind culture bragging about how many hours worked rather than complain about it. Like that shit aint getting anyone anywhere.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

It's not, but it makes them feel like they have more agency than they do. That's really what it comes down to. Fitting into a corporate culture to keep a job and lying to yourself that this is all fine.

They're often guys who make six figures working in tech and convinced themselves that means they're the elite.

Solid choice of avatar. Eyes closed, oblivious smile, making an empty peace sign with your hand. This is exactly what this user looked like when advocating the bombing of civilians.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 9 months ago

pete anime edition.

[–] [email protected] 22 points 9 months ago

people making claims like this would recoil in horror at the prospect of such a thing happening to them and theirs. I just wish you could put them in a ring with someone who casually practiced a combat sport for two years to thrash them about for 5 minutes. If you have that at a baseline, you could introduce them to the scale of violence and how it only gets worse.

Professional combat athlete toying with you -> rando who doesnt want to hurt you but would for your wallet -> rando who wants to hurt you -> trained athlete who wants to hurt you -> guy with a knife who wants to hurt you -> two guys with a knife who want to hurt you => guy with a gun -> two guys with guns -> two soldiers with big guns who decide you're in the way -> two war criminals who want to Abu Ghraib you -> the full might of a US colonial project torturing you in an open air prison -> US colonial project flying weapons of war to end your bloodline in hellfire

If you would shid and cry seeing your mom getting punched by a trained combat athlete hitting her with a few jabs, take a moment to consider how that fairs against the escalation of horrible violence before prescribing something worse for someone else. Not like it matters though; they will keep saying bullshit because they have a horrible hang up in not caring about the apartheid, so therefore Palestine shoots red laser beams.

Clown to clown communication.

...So bombing Amerikan, Israeli, and Ukrainian citizens for following "evil and aggressive state ideologies" is absolutely within your cards, right, brunch cracker?

[–] [email protected] 13 points 9 months ago

If not for the flags in their bio, this would be the perfect defense of Hamas.

Gents I have to tell you, this is not a psyop, this is just what happens when you're 16 and autistic about geopolitics. It happened to me, you just couldn't name search back then.

I know it's a cointoss whether someone's anime avatar belongs to a comrade or a chud, but a "chibified" selfie seems to lean a lot more heavily toward chud probability. pathetic

[–] [email protected] 7 points 9 months ago

I had someone tell me that calling for a one state solution means genociding all people living in Israel.
