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 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.

Lenin in Imperialism: The Highest Stage Of Capitalism dug a quote out from Cecil Rhodes (a disgusting colonial piece of shit) who said:

I was in the East End of London (a working-class quarter) yesterday and attended a meeting of the unemployed. I listened to the wild speeches, which were just a cry for ‘bread! bread!’ and on my way home I pondered over the scene and I became more than ever convinced of the importance of imperialism.... My cherished idea is a solution for the social problem, i.e., in order to save the 40,000,000 inhabitants of the United Kingdom from a bloody civil war, we colonial statesmen must acquire new lands to settle the surplus population, to provide new markets for the goods produced in the factories and mines. The Empire, as I have always said, is a bread and butter question. If you want to avoid civil war, you must become imperialists.

The imperialists have understood for a long time to prevent socialist revolution they must by all means have new lands, new markets, new pools of cheap labour to rinse to placate the workers in imperialist nations.

it's what the phrase "Britons are made for empire" referred to the empire was the outlet for the local lack of social mobility or opportunities

when we got rid of it we had to replace that social function with education

Rhodesia stans are the dumbest people (like all fascists). Like they are the settlers that ate shit the most. My cat lived longer than Rhodesia.

What are 3 descriptors of fascism, Alex?

industrial global new world order

as opposed to the non?global old? world order that took over zimbabwe and named it rhodesia after a fucking train industrialist?

No, no, no. You see, they were a nation of Chads. They were all six feet tall and had perfect hair and razor wits. Their smiles sparkled like the sun, and they could single-handedly plow a 10 acre field in under an hour. They were as stalwart as they were wise. They could all speak sixteen languages. They were God's Chosen People.

So, anyway, a force of locals overran their government within a matter of months. No one can explain exactly how it happened (:-| wtyp-gang ), but their entire empire vanished from the earth seemingly overnight. Some say they angered the gods with their hubris. Others think it was a (((fifth column))). It is even rumored that Rhodesia was laid low by an early incarnation of TikToks and the first generation of rap music.

All we know for certain is that their immaculate, almost magical people served as the high water market of white western civilization. And if we strive to be everything that they were, perhaps we can recapture that moment in the sun once again.

Single handedly with a team of 50 slaves.

Hahaha this is the brain wormed moron who said there was nothing to stop him and his buddies from showing up to a peninsula, enslaving the locals, gaining a demographic majority, and "establishing an aristocratic regime".

The peninsula in question? Kamchatka.

Yeah bro, the Russians are famously chill about people coming to annex their land. Nothing the Russian Federation and their hundreds of thousands of tanks and artillery pieces could do about some idiot trad bros showing up in a boat.

[–] [email protected] 43 points 11 months ago (1 children)

Ah yes, Kamchatka

Famous for absolutely zero Russian naval presence

[–] [email protected] 42 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

Who would win, a flotilla of chuds on fishing boats with AR-15s, or the entire Russian Pacific Fleet?

Hell, one small patrol boat with a stabilized autocannon mount could probably hold off an almost infinite amount of boats with small arms.

Edit: Lmao I just looked it up and even small Russian corvettes mount a rotary AK-630 that spits out at least 4000 30mm rounds a minute. Here's a 30mm round side by side with a NATO 5.56

[–] [email protected] 36 points 11 months ago (1 children)

About 300,000 people live there, so they wouldn't even need the Russian military to keep these losers out. ”Entirely empty”, lol.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (1 children)

He probably thinks they're all inferior peasants who would be easy to subdue for ultra masculine trad men like him.

Personally, I would think twice before challenging people who eke out a living on one of the most inhospitable places on earth on their home turf, but I'm just not trad enough.

My first thought was: "yeah sure Cabana Boy with a palm in nickname would enjoy the freezing climate of Kamchatka", and then he just say global warming 5-10 degrees as if that was just air conditioning turning on. Holy crap what a disgusting moron.

It's easy! All you have to do is to show up with your buddies and subdue the local (nuclear-armed) population. And there's even a defensive land bridge! Surely, the Asiatic brainpan cannot conceive of the concept of boats and planes.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 11 months ago

that shouldnt be hard, since ukraine will be in yekaterinburg by christmas, and putin will have a lot more to worry about than some peninsula in the far east.

"We will rule as aristocrats" does sound like the epitaph on the tombstone of some clueless chud who got merked in the woods by a Siberian hunter.

I didn't even know what a "rhodesia" was until someone posted a FN-FAL on /r/guns reddit-logo and all the comments were full blown fashposting. That plus the "roof Korean" glorification made me wonder if there might be something wrong with that place

[–] [email protected] 48 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (9 children)

Roof Korean has always been a euphemism for shooting black people, despite the end result of the roof koreans during the Rodney King Uprisings in 90s Los Angeles those same roof koreans being shooting other koreans including eachother

Hence why every discussion around black/brown people protesting/doing civil unrest includes morons saying that they need roof koreans or whatever

'Rhodesians Never Die!'

Dies Anyways

Rhodesia was an attempt to get rich by stealing a lot of stuff from black people

[–] [email protected] 40 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I'm not in favor of torturing people, but it's okay to make these people sing "rhodesians never die" under threat of losing progressively more digits, and when the song is over shot them to prove it wrong.

"Intelligent, cruel, astute, born to command, refined, courageous."

Wait, internet fascists are straight up admitting to loving cruelty? Usually they try to cover up their brutality with euphemisms and blatant lies. They love pretending to be morally superior smol beans. What gives?

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

This is the point where fascism normalisation in mainstream is so far they can drop at least some of their mask.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 11 months ago (4 children)

I think this weirdo may have read some Nietzche. Calling the people in his ideal society "cruel", "born to command", and so on, and clearly meaning that in a positive way is giving off massive Nietzche vibes.

It is true that a rogue slave state with an entrenched elite is pretty close to the environment that produced the Greek philosophers. They just forgot the piracy.

Rhodesia superiority is when your colonial master sanctions you and you collapse like a house of cards.

Kind of like when their supporters' parents cut their internet for posting cringe online

[–] [email protected] 27 points 11 months ago (3 children)

is there any good reading on rhodesia? i'd like to look into it without a bunch of fashy bullshit or neoliberal garbage.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 11 months ago

Rhodesia was a white supremacist settler colony. Just keep that in mind when reading any source and it should be pretty easy to weed out the bullshit because any bullshit will be trying to ignore or downplay that.
