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

But I guess to be fair, the Left also overestimates how united the Right is

Their obscene financial backing makes up for it though.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I donated $50 to keep this site running once and no one thanked me for my "obscene financial backing"

[–] [email protected] 28 points 2 years ago

It's the amount that makes it obscene not the naughty messages you send the admins. But thank you for helping to keep the site up. heart-sickle

Thank you for your service

How many subdivisions of the "Proud Boys" have been slapfighting over who is the "cuck" among themselves? fash-infighting

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 years ago

Gee, it's almost as if we're a totally atomized society, like, maybe... pringles in a can, that's a great metaphor I just came up with!

[–] [email protected] 45 points 2 years ago

I've seen it phrased "The left is into collectivism and are easily unified!", a hypothesis trivially defeated by observing any big tent left space for a yoctosecond.

this is one of my biggest criticism of the Chinese communists, for all of their preeminent leaders are completely lacking in facial hair

xi-peel where is you guys's fuckin facial hair????????

[–] [email protected] 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Dong Biwu was technically the leader of China from 1972 to 1975.

We say this, then let in a tiny trickle of people and they are all giga-libs spouting vaush and nato talking points, and close the spigot again

Those people have highly curated ideologies sustained by internet communities so idk how well they represent the world (outside idk, universities?)

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

no, it's about 65% of what you find on english speaking internet. Believing that chauvinist "leftists" aren't the overwhelmingly majority of western leftists is self-delusion IMO.

I didn't know that! Now that I do - I'm going to share InevitableSwing's Leftist Manifesto. I haven't written it yet so be patient please. It may take a while but I'll get there. ~1/1,000

CW: Self harm!

Does anyone have that communist edit of a long stand up sketch, with the one leftist trying to convince the other not kill themselves, which ends in "die, liberal!"? Thanks in advance.

Nah all I can find is the original Emo Philips version https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ANNX_XiuA78

The Right is so upset that they're not actually going to be purged in a left-wing revolution. It destroys them inside, knowing they don't get to martyr themselves in a blaze of glory. So they just die of Covid to trigger us instead.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Who said they won't?

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago

Every right wing sect is violent towards each other. Most leftists only argue with dialogue (and the exception makes the rule)

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

We get it Tucker, the left is invincible. Join or die. There is no chance to stand against the inevitable red tide that will sweep across the world, communism will prevail, and all your standard talking points...

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago

Is this more right wing projection?

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 years ago

There's some truth to that. The average chud has no clue how to organize and they largely don't, they just let whichever politician or media figure they're into do all the talking.

Also I'm pretty sure Tucker is talking about himself too, maybe not self-consciously. Conservative media people like him all hate one another, because they're all in competition with one another. Tucker hates Alex Jones and they probably both hate Ben Shapiro. They all probably hate Denis Prager. They all hate one another because they're conservatives making money off eyeballs and they're all competing for the same audience.

Every accusation is a confession... sadly. doomer
