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

What is the "Cocaine Left?"

Symptoms of cocaine abuse are aggression, antisocial behavior, actions that are dangerous to themselves and others, psychosis, overconfidence and irritability.

A certain portion of our fringe is dangerous the same way that MAGA is dangerous. They're uninterested in building anything, or accomplishing any policy. They want to set fire to everything in sight.

The Cocaine Left is hurting us, and making it impossible for the larger family of the left to thrive and accomplish things. And as someone who just celebrated 20 years of sobriety, I can tell you - the kindest thing we can do is stop enabling them.

If you think Russia, China and Hamas are the good guys, you are part of the Cocaine Left. If you believe violence is a valid political tactic, you are part of the Cocaine Left. If you think burning America down so your ideology can rise from the ashes is best, you are part of the Cocaine Left.

It's not going to be easy cutting them off and moving on without them, but in the end we will all be a lot healthier.

If you believe violence is a valid political tactic, you are part of the Cocaine Left.

I am sure this person stays absolutely consistent with this position!

[–] joaomarrom@hexbear.net 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

it's not a political tactic if the violence is done by cops sweaty ruthkanda-forever

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

terrorism /tĕr′ə-rĭz″əm/

noun

  1. The use of violence or the threat of violence, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political goals.

🤔 damn I wish I could read (I'm a lib by the way)

Quick question if violence is not a valid political tactic why do countries have "defense" budgets?

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

That's actually the status quo so it's not political smuglord

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 30 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Seriously the only problem libs have with random acts of violence is the random part.

Maybe if people posted a pre determined, regular schedule of when they were going to start burning down precincts and courthouses we'd get the libs on our side.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Bit idea: the "free speech zones" at Bush-era college campuses but it's around the designated burning precinct.

uh it's for defense against violence, it's right there in the name

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

It's funny because this actually works on millions of people who insist that violence is never the answer.

Does she condemn the Yankees in the American revolutionary war tho?

Actually ask that every time she says something like a British journalist asking you to condemn Hamas every 2nd sentence in an interview about Palestine.

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

Do you condemn the Sons of Liberty? But do you condemn the Sons of Liberty???

If you think Russia, China and Hamas are the good guys, you are part of the Cocaine Left.

What if i think 2 of the three are the good guys and one is the enemy of my enemy that i don't particularly like in any way but still rank higher than the West?

I've also never done cocaine

"the cocaine left" is a very dumb moniker. People hearing you say "the cocaine left" will be confused. How much cocaine is left? How much did you start with? How long ago did you start with that amount? Have you been sharing the cocaine? Do you plan to get more cocaine?

[–] kleeon@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

"We gotta denounce the people who actually want to do stuff so we can get back to what the movement is really about, smugly occupying the moral highground while losing every single ideological political and societal battle."

"I'll tell everyone that leftists are super cool and know how to party that'll show em"

Also "20 years sober" means she was probably doing a lot of coke in college and you know what that makes a lot of sense

You don't get to write something like that and insist you're actually very sober 20 years actually in the same incomprehensible post.

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Mike Lindell claims to be sober.

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

The original wording of my comment was that Mike Lindell would write this about the antifa spiders in his arms but I think his version would be funny.

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

[The cocaine left are] uninterested in building anything, or accomplishing any policy. They want to set fire to everything in sight.

Isn’t the stereotype of people high on cocaine is that they’re hyper motivated to come with a plan to start a small business or write a movie script? That’s why Wall Street bros and Hollywood scuzbags use it, they get high but also go super Type A on their work at the same time.

Lol Matt fucking hated cocaine. He probably had a stroke because he couldn't give up cheeseburgers, but no one is calling us the Cheeseburger Left.

Also, Matt's ideas make sense if you are extremely well-read and also understand esoteria and the occult. If you don't understand his ideas, or your complaint about them is that they don't make sense, it is more showing your ass than his.

I'm betting it was Covid.

Real leftism is when you stand with the largest and most violent empire on earth. Same belief as the "MAGA Communism" dipshits

[–] Angel@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

"If you are a leftist with any actual leftist principles, you are a dangerous kind of leftist that's hurting leftism!"

Imagine saying this and meaning it.

This may be the lowest degree of self-awareness I've ever witnessed.

Can I get a ELI5 about who Wu is?

[–] happybadger@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

She made an iphone game, became a Gamergate grifter, and then flailed around since 2016 trying to spin that into a political career. That didn't work at all so she became a PAC grifter making youtube videos with less effort than I put into my dog's videos. Now she's trying to copycat John Fetterman ideologically and probably run for another office.

The liberal Laura Loomer.

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

She played video games and some chuds were mean to her. Now she’s a lib spitting out hot takes like the above, because I guess people felt sorry for her after the mean chuds were mean and they gave her attention.

[–] Pentacat@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

This gamer denounces violence as a political tactic? Is violence committed by the US and its pedo-Zionist colony exempt from this? Or are Biden and Bibi part of the cocaine left?

She so badly wants to have credit for something relevant.

[–] electric_nan@lemmy.ml 14 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Most leftists I know couldn't afford cocaine if they even wanted it (which they usually don't). I do some about twice a year on average, and almost always regret it.
