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

Are these bazinga nazis doing things that much better in the present, or are they seeking to "coup whoever they want, deal with it" as usual? three-heads-thinking

I think you're assuming some bad faith that isn't there.

Is it really bad faith when the source of that reply was clown-to-clown-communication clown-to-clown-conversation between a cryptobro and a billionaire apartheid prince?

It's like when up-yours-woke-moralists claimed that the answer to school shootings should be to provide government issued "girlfriends" to potential school shooters. I can and have mocked that perspective and it wasn't automatically "bad faith" dismissal about some boys being sexually frustrated. The source of the take was radioactive, and saying "actually there is still a problem what do we do" implies that the radioactive source had some valid solution to begin with. It didn't.

Since you accused me of "bad faith," what solution is implied, let alone suggested, from the cryptobro or the apartheid prince in this discussion?

I said that the apparent source of their concern (and the context of bringing it up in this thread) was questionable.

Like the "government issued waifus for potential school shooters" up-yours-woke-moralists example I already provided, saying "the fascists have a point here, actually" contaminates whatever point could otherwise have otherwise been made in another thread, because the implication is that the fascists had a valid proposal to begin with regarding whatever the issue was.

I think there's a difference between "the fascists have a point here, actually" and "the fascists are discussing people's actual concerns and experiences." Taking real concerns and proposing cruel non-solutions is kind of their whole deal obviously

Nothing was proposed as far as I could tell, by that poster or for that matter the two fascists tweeting back and forth, except maybe "the children of white people should not know about what their ancestors did" which is pretty sus.

I believe they proposed "a Uighur re-education camp program for rural America" which tbh is probably on the right track.

Seemed like a joke to me, unless thinkin-lenin
