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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

Hexbears, famous for claiming the world is ran by Jewish bankers. It's a thing we do often and consistently. It definitely has happened and you can tell because this person made an image.

They absolutely have picked plenty of fights with me. They’re not fighting for rights, most of them want to be sexually dominated by dictator Xi Jinping.

Just Xi Jinping?

Who defeated the Nazis? Westerners have been brainwashed into thinking that WW2 was a war against the liberal democratic west.

I've been on a big kick of any media that depicts nazis but doesn't mention the communists is probably very bad analysis lately.

Libs dot world just make shit up about us to post and be mad at.

Do they ever actually pick out highly upbeared posts and dunk on those? Somehow I doubt it

[–] ThisMachineKillsFascists@hexbear.net 55 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Heaven's no, they're too scared to actually visit Hexbear

[–] Infamousblt@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago

They might come here and be forced to admit they're lying about us. That kind of cognitive dissonance can be hard to stomach

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 66 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This person is deeply unserious.

Bring me in on this discussion if they appear here!

I'm no Tibetologist but goddamn you're gonna have trouble finding a person who knows more about pre-annexation Tibet than me.

I got into it with a disaporic Tibetan recently online who didn't know shit about their ancestral country's history and they were playing the ethnicity card (because apparently you can only know about a particular if your parents were born in that country?) We had a back-and-forth, they dodged all the uncomfortable questions... you know how all of that plays out. But anyway, eventually I lost my patience and dished out a long insult that was extremely specific to Tibetan history & culture and to this person's particular brand of nonsense - I knew they wouldn't understand it and that it just looked like a string of weird references but if you happened to know your shit about Tibet then it would have come off as an absolute roasting.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 63 points 1 year ago (4 children)

What strange people.

I haven't seen anyone drag "Free Tibet" out for a walk in years.

[–] Flyberius@hexbear.net 48 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I was there a month ago and it was fucking great. Free them from what?

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago (6 children)

Idk. I saw someone clap back on a China Bad free Tibet post saying something like 98% of Tibetans speak Tibetan, how many Indigenous Americans speak their languages and that's been painted on the inside of my skull every since.

have you considered that some people could WANT to be slaves under a feudal class system???

[–] JoeByeThen@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

Especially since there was a couple months of viral videos about Tibetan Serfdom and the Dali Lama sucking on some kids tongue.

Thanks to Lemmy, I’m finding out people think socialism is a political agenda and do not understand that any political alignment, whether capitalist ,ommunist, and (in this case) ultra nationalist can have socialist values.

Absolutely birdbrains over there. Complete internalization of socialism meaning when the government does stuff.

I like how lemmy.world has managed to herd almost all of the im-doing-my-part freaks on the fediverse into one place. It's Greatawakening . win for Blue Anon.

[–] Yor@hexbear.net 57 points 1 year ago

@FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today You're using fascist talking points and embarrassing yourself

Hey @FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today this you?

Why are you so obsessed with us?

Also why do you support Ukrainian Nazis?

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Damn, they got us on that one.

It amazes me that libs think that "ACkCHyuaLLY, nAZI StandS foR naTional SOcialisT 🤓" is some groundbreaking, novel, unheard of "secret" fact that not everybody knows already.

We all know what the fuck Nazi stands for. This isn't news. In fact, it's so not news that it's all right-wingers talk about whenever Nazism is brought up.

Unlike rightists, we just don't take what a white supremacist dictator dubs his party at face value because fuckers like Hitler are the kind to lie and manipulate words to serve their evil goals in whichever way seems best to them.

[–] reaper_cushions@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago (2 children)

There’s a German cartoon from 1931 called “Das Firmenschild” (literally translates to “the company sign”), which picks up on exactly the supposed socialist character of the Nazi being a ruse to dupe disaffected workers. This shit was obsolete in 1931.

Thanks to Lemmy, I’m finding out people think socialism is a political agenda and do not understand that any political alignment, whether capitalist ,ommunist, and (in this case) ultra nationalist can have socialist values. I don’t think any country in WW2 managed to participate without socialism. At least not any that managed to fight long enough.

Participation of tribalism here gets Facebook levels of cringe at times.

Damn dude, you're so right. Socialism is when the government does stuff, and when it does lots of stuff, that's communism! FDR definitely called himself a socialist and that's not just cope by euroboo libs at the tail end of the empire who are panicking that we forgot to build a robust society before pressing the big neoliberalism button.

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 37 points 1 year ago

Once again they don't provide a single example to back up their claim. Wonder why they never do thonk

I think @FiniteBanjo@lemmy.today thinks that Russia is socialist, and that we also think that. Wild times

Lib.world is at least federated with lemmy.ml. OP's instance blocks any instance that isn't right of Richard Nixon.
