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

This dipshit knows fuck all about any of these cultures. Greeks being Greek. Spaniards doing their thing. Italian culture in Italy... Um.... French people drink wine right? British people classy by day???? Guarantee that if you introduced this guy to anyone from these countries he would find some reason to hate them.

Honestly, critical support

I don't know who said it first.

A true Englishman is someone who drives a German car to pick up an Indian curry, then uses a Korean built PC to send an email denouncing immigrants.

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 25 points 11 months ago (1 children)

should add the "to use an app made in China"

[–] Dagwood222@lemm.ee 10 points 11 months ago

I couldn't remember all the items. I think it also had 'sitting in a chair build is Sweden' and 'drinking Irish beer' and 'wearing an Italian shirt.'

Why the heck did you colonize the globe and bring in labor and workers from foreign countries for 500 straight years than?!?

[–] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 44 points 11 months ago (3 children)

I just want Europe to remain white and Christian

We don't want others cultures, we did pretty good with ours

Bruh where did Christianity originate?

Somewhere out in Utah if they could have their way

Ah, but did you not know, England is God's own country, And did those feet in ancient time. walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God. on England's pleasant pastures seen?
And did the countenance divine. shine forth upon our clouded hills?

He should also stop using numbers. He won't like where those came from. In fact, he would be very upset if he learned where writing in general came from.

[–] conditional_soup@lemm.ee 44 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The culture arguments are bonkers until you realize that they're in bad faith. As if most Europeans from two or three hundred years ago wouldn't be completely aghast at the state of things now. German unification was a highly taboo subject until very near the 20th century. Italy was likewise a bunch of microstates, there was no such thing as 'Italy'. Spain, France, and England would all be horrified at how weakened their monarchies are. The Netherlands. The Ottoman empire just whole ass doesn't exist anymore. Russia would be scandalized at the fact that they murdered their Tsar and his family, followed by the better part of a century's rule by an expressly atheist government (though Putin is something of a Tsar himself, so that might allay some of their anxieties). So much shit has changed for Europe over the last 2-300 years, just fucking miss me with your bullshit "but muh culture" arguments.

[–] kot@hexbear.net 34 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I think the worst part of his dipshit argument is that he thinks human culture has ever existed in a vacuum. People have been migrating in and out of Europe and everywhere else since the stone age. England as it exists now is the result of several centuries of settling by different peoples and cultures, just like every other country. Like 99% of every language spoken in Europe (except for things like basque) came from somewhere else, and their religion is middle eastern. It's only natural that this would intensify now that travel is so much easier and everything is interconnected.
But he thinks that we have to freeze things as they are now? After they colonized half of the world?? Ridiculous

yes seriously what kind of england do these people want to retvrn to because england only exists as a thing because of several foreign colonizations from the romans to the danish to the vikings to the french, and then fast forward to the 1900s, much of their pop culture came from former colonial subjects, jamaican/black british made popular music, south asian food etc.

take away the foreign infulence and there's literally nothing left unless you draw some arbitrary line at like 1960 or 1700 or what

Britain is for the Britains, aka the Welsh.

I’m not Stalin, I just want this dweeb put up against the wall

[–] Gorb@hexbear.net 33 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I agree the Brits should stop going to Spain on holiday and should stay in Britain. Infact build a big wall around Britain to keep them there, no the scots don't get a free pass.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 28 points 11 months ago (1 children)

no the scots don't get a free pass.

limmy-what

[–] Gamer_time@hexbear.net 17 points 11 months ago

Scots are imperialists too, Edinburgh didn't become all nice and pretty for no reason. Great Britain: Oops! All Imperial Exploitation!

Deciding to base my entire ideology on a book of stereotypes I got taught in 2nd grade

Pull the fucking hamburgers and coke out of your mouth before you say you want to be purely European you fucking americans-in-denial

[–] Hestia@hexbear.net 25 points 11 months ago

I don't want to eliminate the jews. I just want an ethnostate, and if that requires eliminating the jews... shrug-outta-hecks

[–] EllenKelly@hexbear.net 21 points 11 months ago

Racists dont even remember how to be racist properly anymore smdh, if i learned one thing from my upbringing its that I will not associate with catholics

I guess you could say I'm a bit of a traditionalist, but Iberia belongs to the Caliphate, 700 years is nothing to spit at

Europe is a peninsula on the west coast of Asia, nazis are dorks

[–] Rom@hexbear.net 21 points 11 months ago

People who brag about how "logical" they are are the most emotional people in the world.

[–] 7bicycles@hexbear.net 20 points 11 months ago (1 children)

[–] Dolores@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago (1 children)

real taking-restraint hours

Europeans Stop Colonizing And Exploiting The Global South Challenge (Impossible)

[–] dkr567@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

These fuckers are the cause of all this through their disgusting colonial and imperialistic practices and the same people say shit like in the tweet.

[–] NoLeftLeftWhereILive@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago

Oh my goodness, a self-proclaimed logical person.

[–] SuperNovaCouchGuy2@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago (2 children)

Yeah exactly, europe should act as the world's hard-border containment zone for the disgusting white subhuman hordes that have ravaged humanity for centuries.

Nobody should have to be forced to move to any of those utter run down failed state shitholes listed in that tweet.

(Other than Greece ig they seem alright.)

[–] Spongebobsquarejuche@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago (1 children)

The Yakubian Quarantine Zone.

Real no go zone

[–] readmore@hexbear.net 12 points 11 months ago

Lmao this guy self describes as ‘first generation Greek American’ and still can’t write something better than ‘Greeks being Greek in the Mediterranean’.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago

Blue checkmark and unhinged eurocentric racism, name a better duo

[–] GlueBear@hexbear.net 11 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago) (1 children)

This is the most American post I've seen.

Why are our racists so fucking worthless and pathetic? Can you at least fucking have some pride in your own American white crackkkerisms? Don't go out here simping for Europeans, I promise you they all think you're mutts. If they really wanted to be associated with you in any way, then they wouldn't be calling you fake Italians, fake Irish, fake Germans, etc.

They don't like you bitch ass, get a grip.

[–] barrbaric@hexbear.net 10 points 11 months ago

America has no mythic culture to call back to so they have to double down on the half-remembered culture their great grandparents came from instead.

[–] Diuretic_Materialism@hexbear.net 7 points 11 months ago

What about Albanians?
