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

A reactionary is someone who believes in essentialism: that people are identified and wholly defined by a static core character of what they are, that all their behavior is all dictated by this, that the dynamics of humanity are fixed and inevitably fated to unravel in a predictable fashion.

This is the implication here:

An Israeli votes like an Israeli and a Palestinian like a Palestinian, because everyone in the category is the same. Palestinians have higher birth rates than Israelis because this is an inherent parameter of people in each group. The interests of one person are the interests of the ethnic group as a whole.

He spent a lot of time talking about Inherent Japanese Characteristics in his "Supernova in the East" series

I don't think we need to rigorously subject people to professing M-L thought (I'm not even a Marxist myself), but we absolutely do need a rectification where we make sure that everyone in the revolutionary entity has a deeply constructivist philosophy.

God I hate people like this.

cultures and behavior have nothing to do with material conditions, those are determined by blood, which is why every physically fit, semi-wealthy Japanese man joins the JSDF and follows Bushido smuglord

Remember when people were saying he was getting radicalized after doing his series on the Haitian revolution?

he goes on rogan and was always this borderline tea party constitutional libertarian flag fucker type of person. He was just more polite than most, which is why most of his forum full of Dale Gribble type motherfuckers abandoned him when he said he didn't like Trump. So this doesn't surprise me.

we need hardcore historical materialism. this guy needs to be put in the hardcore dustbin of history.
