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

identity politics bad
spouts identity politics in the literal next sentence

why do these chuds even pretend to be commies, are they paid, are they dumb enough to think we'll believe it, or are they so dumb that they themselves actually believe it?

Migrant workers who produce half the food in the country: Not needed for the revolutionary movement

Women who perform hours of unpaid childcare labor in addition to a 40-hour workweek: Not needed for the revolutionary movement

White guys who are paid $200,000 per year to eat donuts and harass minorities: Absolutely essential to the revolutionary movement, even hinting to them that they should maybe re-examine their biases should be anathema

if he makes up the military and police (armed wings of the forces of capital), why are we not supposed to alienate him in our movement against capital???

citations-needed

why are you posting about a different podcast on this citations needed fan site?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

What's the story with the citations needed emote?

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

citations needed is a leftist podcast about media literacy and some other stuff. hexbear, or more precisely, the old subreddit began as fan group for the pod.

Isn't the backbone of the American economy actually migrant and immigrant workers mostly from Mexico, and factory workers in China, India and Vietnam that make all of America's stuff?

The white guy is the powerhouse of the cell

Cis white men are already alienated from their labor, fellow workers, neighbors, people of color in general, folks with slightly different gender expressions, folks with the same gender expressions, their kids, fuck, even their dogs. Maybe this person can explain how challenging preconceived notions and unjust hierarchies meaningfully alienate the cis mayo man, because it seems like it's just a drop in the bucket.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Also, imagine thinking it's counterrevolutionary to alienate cops or people making a career out of murdering foreigners for capital. Sounds like a Bernie stan

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 years ago

I gave this person the benefit of the doubt and assumed that they were referring to the bourgeois American revolution since that's a perfect fit for the narrative they're pushing.

These so-called "white men" better get the fuck over it, because the rest of the working class aren't going anywhere and this isn't 1968

Also "identify politics" is bad, except when it's about white men lmao racist puke

Shut the fuck up kkkrakkker

The economic powerhouse of the United States is the White man

Yes, because free market economics is notoriously shit at tracking actual production, so it tends to track consumption instead. White men generate more GDP by getting paid more and spending more, but that says nothing about what they actually produce in terms of useful goods and services.

White men consume a disproportionate amount of the US economic pie, and that's the fucking problem.

It's a problem, I'm not sure it's the problem
