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

If the USA elects a fascist president, there is guaranteed to be multiple genocides of society’s most vulnerable groups, in addition to what the US is already doing in Gaza

it's okay to vote in support of genocide as long as it benefits me omori-manic

Vote Hitler to stop Mechahitler

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I made the post to shit on liberals. Hexbear is just the best example I could come up with of a liberal instance.

jesse-wtf

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I've talked to them, and they are an Anarcho-Bidenist and also the most ultra of ultras. They're so idealist that they believe reality can literally be reshaped on a fundamental level just by belief, so anyone who doesn't take that approach to create a perfect utopia is a liberal, and also transphobic because your vibes are the only thing stopping otherkin from physically transforming into dragons and shit. Oh, but also, you have to vote for Biden while you're imagining this utopia, and that's not liberal because reasons, and if you don't then you're transphobic, but also they'll make jokes about trans suicide and if you tell them it's inappropriate or offensive then you just don't get it, because you're stupid.

I tried to explain it but I think I just made it even more jesse-wtf

Anarcho-Antirealist-Bidenist

I did a bit about it on my alt

Excellent post

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You have to elect Biden because he's outside of reality right now

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

Omg you cracked the code michael-laugh

[–] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, all of you are liberals

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

it's true, we're all liberals here, except me, the one true leftist.

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

They are tying themselves into a knot to support a fucking genocide... again agony-consuming

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Not just to support it, but to pretend they're the good guys actually and they have to make the heroic hard choice to support this genocide because they're the adults in the room.

It's not enough for them to just support a genocide and lie about it. They still need to be condescending little pricks the entire time. They still need to believe that they're the smartest and most loyal little good citizens around.

The final humiliation and fall from relevance cannot come soon enough for these smarmy nazi fucks.

When I saw the original post I had to check if OP was a 196 poster (they are) and I found this gem:

The brainworms are terminal I'm afraid.

more brainworms

They really love this image, they posted it multiple times in comments.




Whatever this person's deal is to be this way, I hope their situation improves, because it's kind of unsettling.

[–] robinnn@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The dialectical materialism bit gave my multiple aneurysms. These relationships ("social constructs") are a result of the material! Are they honestly saying that they think this "social construct" has no cause but just is because of itself?

When the slave owner oppresses the slave, or a capitalist the worker, his ability to do so is because of his possession of materials (farm and factory) not his possession of materials because of his oppression except in continuation. Or put another way, commodities are sold after the worker is given their wage, so how does the capitalist initially pay the worker? He must have capital to start! This all returns to the material situations these groups found themselves in and how this progressed.

There is a common misunderstanding of dialectical materialism where people forget the dialectical aspect and point out any example of ideas giving rise to action as disproof. Dialectical materialism flips Hegel's subject-object dialectic which regards the subject (ideas and the like) as primary into a subject-object dialectic where the object (matter) is primary, or object-subject dialectic. The material gives rise to ideas in the human mind, which then are transformed into material action, or for another example, national culture is at first the product of natural conditions, then later asserts itself upon those conditions through human action. The argument this person makes goes: "By skipping one step chronologically the entire dialectic is flipped again and the ideal is the primary aspect, the material secondary! Did I just disprove dialectical materialism?"

I want to rip my teeth out

[–] robinnn@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Hmm, so you have ideas that if carried out would cause change in the material? Waiter! Waiter! One cup of Marxist tears please! I guess we’ve found something more universal than mere matter!

[–] a_little_red_rat@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

Holy fuck this is like top ten gibberish takes I've seen, and I watch dunks on Tim Pool for fun

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Y'know, literally just yesterday I was thinking, 'Huh, how 'bout that shark instance? Maybe I should make an account and go fuck around, see if I can create some new T-34 crew or smth'.

I guess I will not agony-wholesome Ada's response isn't too bad but the thread is a shitshow lol. Daily reminder never to venture anywhere outside of hexbear.

Also the libertyhub comm at a glance just seems like a shitty micro hexbear lmao

Pretty much. The head mod is still somehow "anti-tankie." Cool enough guy but still has some liberal adjacent apprehensions.

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

What flavour of "leftism" is that? Is that like anarchist sectarianism...? limmy-what

Everyone should read this lmao. This person is the biggest dipshit in the world

[–] CyberSyndicalist@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

well I'll give them one thing; at least they admit they don't have any interest in an accurate perception of reality which is more than can be said for liberals

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

just by actively resisting any time realism tries to intrude

Too on the nose, must be a bit agony-deep

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 22 points 1 year ago (1 children)

So are they starting a cult or already in one?

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I hate to swing these accusations around but...

Join a climate, queer, or indigenous protest group. Attend local council meetings. Start a cult.

Swerving into an established political group and trying to morph it into an aggressively sectarian, niche ideology sounds like some spy cop shit. Like, that's one of the ways British cops would try to force splits in communist orgs back when communism had political relevancy in Britain.

Not saying this is what's going on here, but that's the vibe I'm getting.

[–] tamagotchicowboy@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

I wish sociology was mandated in schools, and if not that at least a fucking art class that makes you mold/sculpt a project into your ideas, and resulting ideas from your interaction with hard reality into your project.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Oh OK, this person is a federal employee. Hey fellow kids, don't you know the most cool and leftist you can be is to disregard notions of consensus reality. Why get literally anything done when you could be building a tower of Babel to render meaningless the language of our common struggle? Egoism is good now! Fuck revolution, start a cult, all the coolest cats are just waiting in line to repeat the failures of the 60s and 70s.

Why yes our ultimate goal is to levitate the Pentagon, how did you guess?

The liberal's eternal struggle against reality.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Omfg they're doing scientology but with heavens gate aesthetics

this is some dronerights/exocrinous tier bullshit

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Seeing them double down in how its okay to joke about telling trans people to self harm is nice, that whole instance is so weird

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 1 year ago

Shouldn't that get them banned from that instance? Or only if they do it on blahaj?

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago

What zero moderation does to a mfer

[–] WittyProfileName2@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

@Socsa@sh.itjust.works

That’s my thesis though. These are actual bigots and trolls painting themselves pink.

The fact that Blahaj has this dickhead in the comments accusing trans people of lying about their identity and hasn't been given the ol' barbara-pit treatment. cringe

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

That comm is just one mod recently posting a grand total of 4 memes about Biden.

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago (1 children)

This person seems cool. What the fuck are they doing on blahaj? We need a special ops team to extract them posthaste

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Pretty sure the blood dude is a massive zionist

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

It's a bit unclear, but I was saying the mod who they're talking about in screenshot sounds cool

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 13 points 1 year ago

That makes much more sense

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

Post-leftists?

Let 'em fight.
