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

If you refuse conscription to the IDF they just put you in jail for a while, they don't fucking kill you

fucking clown shit

[–] [email protected] 51 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah but once you serve your sentence they can just conscript you to serve again, which means it's back to jail.

I wouldn't be surprised if a lot of the IDF incompetence is actually fragging

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I would literally rather go to jail multiple times than agree to join the baby flamethrower duty squad

There are many who are: Sofia Orr, 18; Tamar Alon, 18; Tal Mitnick, 18; Tamar Ze’evi, 19; lots of kids choosing jail over genocide. We should definitely celebrate them.

Tal Mitnick has been serving consecutive 30 day sentences since December as far as I can find. Strangely, this topic isn't being covered much by media. Weird!

Makes me think of the legacy of Sophie Scholl. Those young people are being brave as hell.

I never even got to see the thread. Genuinely didn’t expect for 7DF to drop a bomb like that.

I can still feel bad that millions of Germans got killed. But you know who's fault that was? Themselves in aggregate and the nazis specifically. I'm not going to defend the average Fritz. Especially because they had all the fucking guns. Armies exist, in theory, to defend their people. The German army failed that task. They should have deposed the nazis and surrendered when their homeland was under invasion. The outcome of the war was settled it just hadnt ended yet. Instead they fought on, more innocents got killed for the egos of their genocidal masters. I can't defend that shit even on Opposite Day. Fuckin ultras.

wojak-nooo nooooooooooooooooooo you don't understand they'd have had to suffer material consequences for adhering to principles instead of being given a gold star and being told you're a good boy by the teacher

Bordiga was and remains a blight on communist discourse

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don’t really understand ultras. They seem to see themselves as being the farthest left you can get while being the stereotypical armchair leftists that talk revolution and do nothing outside of that.

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

I always thought Ultra Lefts were a CIA job, since they only really exists on the internet to troll the Left (from the left), never ran into one in real life. Then I read an obituary of one...but then again it might just be the CIA being elaborate heh

[–] [email protected] 33 points 1 year ago

Well, ultras go back much further than the CIA does. Lenin famously wrote about the phenomenon as an infantile disorder back in 1920. But that's not to say that the disorder hasn't been often used by the likes of the CIA and anticommunists in general as one of the many tools in their bag to smear and discredit actual Marxist-Leninists. There are plenty of genuine ultras out there but finding the line that differentiates them from psyops is usually a fool's errand. Honestly, I think there are some ultras whose hearts really are in the right place, they just crucially failed at the materialist part of dialectical materialism. The jackass in OP is not one of these.

One of the most basic creeds of leftism is "capitalist imperialism and colonialism bad"

[–] [email protected] 48 points 1 year ago (11 children)

No don’t you understand? All countries are capitalist which means all countries are imperialist which means they are all exactly equal and there’s no stance we can ever take on anything because it’s all the same

Bruh what the fuck is that subreddit how do these people call themselves leftist

[–] [email protected] 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It constantly treads the line of being a parody, and it is good for my sanity to believe that they understand that.

I'm both confuzzled and amused.

Ultras are the worst types of people. Full support when they get gulag in an actual revolution.

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

One of the ultra left mods bans someone for questioning the insanity of these responses.

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago

These ultra arguments aren't even just spinning weird contrarian academics, it's complete reality denial.

I think the most recent poll of Israelis put the 'approve of the actions in Gaza' combined with 'should go further' at 78%.

That's only going to be high in the IDF, even taking into account conscription, because a) the most opposed wouldn't serve so aren't wouldn't be part of the IDF sample and b) the majority of the IDF is not made up of freshly drafted 18 year old conscripts.

So maybe there's like 1 or 2 guys there at statistical most who aren't totally comfortable with the genocide but still not enough to dodge it or go to jail for a bit.

No you see if you'd just let them kill several myriads more Ghazzan children they would've y'know achieved class consciousness and stuff somehow, and that would've made up for them killing myriads of Ghazzan children somehow

What do ultras even believe? I can't decipher this nonsense looking at their sub.

[–] [email protected] 36 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

That the only true proletarian revolution in human history was in 1917 and then after that it was immediately corrupted and no other revolution happened ever again. They like to say they are more Leninist than Lenin, but in reality they are more Trotskyist than Trotsky.

There is no urgency among them to take any type of action, form any type of organization, support any kind of cause, and in fact doing any of that is derided and mocked.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

wtf-am-i-reading do they have brains? This is why we need copper pipes.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Usually Bordigists, of the Italian Communist Party. It's a fork of Orthodox Marxism that accepts Lenin but denounces Marxism-Leninism.

There's a reason Gramsci rotted in prison while Mussolini didn't even bother killing Bordiga.

From NATOpedia:

Bordiga was released in 1931 on the occasion of his niece’s marriage to a fascist. He also posed in a group of Blackshirts and the photograph was published in a fascist newspaper.

What a fucking snake.

The only relevant point to make is that these people have made no condemnation of the murder of Palestinian proletariat, they can claim "The workingman has no country" if they wish, but their banner is an Israeli flag and they care only for one side. I.e. they're just liberals. What's worse they're idealists doing flag fucking under the guise of communism.

[–] [email protected] 17 points 1 year ago

I must stress that this assumes you buy into their proclaimed framework. From a personal perspective they're genocidal freaks and I hope they die.

Wait there are people who consider themselves ultraleftists

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 year ago

It’s left comms and stupidpol types. They act like they are the purest Marxian scholars and everyone else is stupid and wrong about what socialism means (talk a lot about commodities and other Marxian buzzwords to signal they are theory readers) but they are racist, aligned with imperialists, not committed to anti-fascism, and generally just never want to accomplish anything.

they call themselves ultras????
