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

Shitlibs be like "Will MenaKKKer"
They're posting this because they want to share this insight because its obviously true, right? 
They know its true, right? 
I think after the polling came out that Biden lost the Muslim vote, and to them that automatically means Muslims support Trump for some reason, it’s definitely their subconscious desire.
They don’t like Trump, but they still want minorities who are disillusioned to ‘get what they voted for’ for not choosing Biden.
And if that means they get deported 🤷 win stupid prizes. I voted for Konos.
American Muslims used to be one of the most solidly Republican voting demographics. I'm not sure of the exact reason why.
But that entirely flipped after 9/11 and now the Democrats can't help themselves either with how much they hate Palestinians.
American Cold War policies towards the ME was pushing for Islamist theocracies as a bulwark against evil Bolshevik atheism. So nominally, the US had to be friendly towards Arabs, though Israel was constantly throwing a wrench in those plans.
Perhaps these nominally friendly relationships resulted in American Muslims being pro republican? I know that Carter, a democrat, started the Middle East policies, but I don’t remember if it was known publicly during his time.
It’s also possible that it’s more general. Conservatives took a hard line stance against anything left of their hand, which means they were constantly portraying democrats as godless hippies who wanted to destroy the family and god.
Remember all the smugness about how people in red states "had [bad thing] coming"? You think they wouldn't treat Muslims the same way?
This fucking shit, what even is democracy then?
Vote for our guy, or you will die! He would rather watch you be deported or killed than cede a single fucking inch on anything that matters to you, but if you don't fully surrender your political voice to him an even worse guy will come and punish you, and you'll deserve it. If you try to hold our guy to account in any way, even just rhetorically, you're a traitor.
How is this different in any way to liberals' wild fantasies of the "authoritarian totalitarian communist dictatorship"? They'll never explain because they're physically incapable of processing this framing.
It's different because you can vote, sweaty.
Oh god, they're gonna smugly invoke that beaten-into-the-ground redditism about faces and Leopards, and in that moment my sanity will snap like a twig
That will menaker guy sounds smart, i wonder if there is a site to talk about his podcast
Oh, he has a podcast?
He probably appeared on 
or :blowback: at some point.
I’m in a weird mood where I’m feeling weirdly empathetic to the post left guy. Like, clips from CTH will genuinely sound absurd to libs. Part of being a lib is a deep deep brainwashing that left of liberal isn’t a real political stance. And with that, it’s absurd to think they have racist/islamophobic issues to deal with within THEIR party. I hope this guy can become post post left (aka, left)
Part of being a liberal is believing there's only two sides to humanity: the nice liberal side and this uncompromising, undefeatable vague blob of bad stuff that will always exist. You can't reason with it, at best you can force it to hold exactly half the power. Leftists don't make sense to them because we can sound simultaneously like liberals and adherents of the evil blob, sometimes in the same sentence.
I don't know how to handle anti-left liberals anymore. I wish they would just be more honest and say they want imperialist bourgeois power structures in power, but they never phrase it like that unless they're a self-identified neoliberal. And those people are too much of cranks to bother with.
they don't know what the terms imperialist, bourgeois, or power structures mean so it's kind of an uphill climb.

This is coming hot out of Thanksgiving where many of the people seeing this post probably heard their families expressing this exact view
I've never heard of Post-Left Watch but I gathered from their Twitter that they aren't being ironic.
Are they just libs who think they're Leftists or Right-wingers?
The "Post left" is a whole thing. This person has gotten obsessed with the word and has misapplied the label to everyone they don't like. They genuinely appear to think they're on the left and exposing people.
i agree, if only there was a site to Chat about Chapo...
imagine thinking that the democrats who don't do anything about the camps near the mexican border wouldn't deport muslims if they have the chance
i feel as though something is bappin
Where's the lie, am I blind
Why is Twitter so broken i can no longer see comments? Just the fucking post.
yea I have to use nitter to see anything it sucks I can't wait until the site formerly known as twitter finally dies
in my understanding, the word "post-left" usually refers to a type of anti-communist who thinks the path to revolution is everyone following them to get hired as a post-doc teaching about some niche dead end which "marx failed to consider".
Post-left is what libertarians call themselves now.
Post left anarchism was originally a critique of the tendency for leftists to bury themselves in academia actually.
