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

The post is also sus because if you look at other discussions, there's 2 other uploads of the same video with the same exact title (I'm assuming 'hash truth' is supposed to be 'harsh'? if so then they made the same exact misspelling). But it's not the same account. Each one is a different username who uploaded it. Wtf.

It's weird because you often see more left-leaning stuff in this sub, like pro-Palestine vids. But Reddit does lean reactionary, as we all know. reddit-logo

What do you think? Astroturfed or no?

Also this dude's argument reminds me of what I read in Ibrahim X. Kendi's How To Be An Antiracist where he recalls, in his his youth, being convinced by white supremacist America to find fault in his own culture and blame it all on himself and his black peers, and trying to assimilate and distance himself from it, rather than seeking liberation.

Damn, he's obnoxious. I hated those patronizing 10-second pauses almost as much as the idiotic racist apologia he was vomiting. I don't know if it's astroturfed, I definitely know a lot of civility PoC with this self-hating, defend kkkrakkkers brain rot. Dude said racism isn't real because a White lady was nice to him once. What the fuck? Yeah, no one said White people can't be nice, man, that's not what people mean when they talk about racism. I'd attribute all this to his ignorance but at a certain point ignorance can't excuse the malice this enables.

But the post to r/Wholesome is the original post and has the typo "hash", then it was crossposted by other users to different subs but they weren't able to edit the title from the original post so the same typo continued as it was crossposted to different subs by others.

Someone using an anecdote to make a point and thinking it means anything is showcasing serious symptoms of brain rot.

I have no idea who that guy in the clip is but given that he shows up constantly on my Instagram explore page reacting to some random video, I say astroturfed

[–] puff@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

Not watching the video because it sounds dumb but I will say that while CRT isn't wrong, it is often used by libs to promote lib solutions like 'we just need black billionaires and presidents' as if changing the colour of the ruling class without changing the system would do anything for anyone outside of the ruling class. I've seen those sorts of arguments so often, especially from people in academia, that I sort of flinch when it gets brought up in anticipation of the 'therefore Obama's that so often follows it.
