This is a parody sub designed to make fun of non-voting liberals who pretend to be leftists.
Truly the biggest politics understanders of the Lemmyverse.

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 isn't even brainworms, it's a lack of brain matter
The worms popped in, saw it was empty, and moved on
When you have to have "no heil Hitlers" in your rules on your very normal political instance
bigotry shouldn’t be too believable,
But it's ok to keep marginalized folk on the edge about what is ironic and what isn't.
As if ironic bigotry is ever funny anyway. It’s how many right wingers ease into full blown reaction. I think Elon Musk was like that at first? It’s like the equivalent of killing small animals being a warning sign of future violence against humans
Oh it's the soulist, they tried to explain that actually I am the one misunderstanding Marx the whole time once. Really odd.
They'd probably tell you that you didn't understand Lenin's views on electoralism either lmao
incredible self-own posting a picture of a 1936 nazi saying “I’m changing the from the system from the inside”
yes, trying to change the system by voting is exactly like joining the nazi army, isn’treal was heavy supported by nazis to remove Jews from europe, and voting for biden to support isnotreal’s genocide of Palestinians makes you as bad as the actual nazis
and MindTraveller doubling down on a “joke” telling trans people to self-harm, but edited out hexbear this time
“an attack on biden is transphobia” is a galaxybrain take like equating anti-zionism with anti-semitism
Reminder from the mods: If I catch any of you saying trans people deserve to live, I'll call you a genocide supporter and ban you. Wanting to live is bourgeois liberal decadence. Don't you know Biden is supporting a genocide?
Surely this joke isn't allowed on that instance?
that comment is from the comm creator, the road to anarcho-antirealist-bidenism is paved with dead trans people and dead Palestinians
Honestly amazing to see the content warning and satire tag
Based on the poster that one may be making fun of the comm?
Baby's First Political Thoughts 
Oh hey, it's this weirdo again
Every Hexbear who keeps saying that the Blahaj admin is good and we should try to refederate with them needs to self crit
🐖🇨🇦Klanadian🇨🇦🐖 spotted
Ada wants to have a place for all trans people and has the nazi bar problem since she gives them leeway. That said, there is a sorta hexbear-light comm there as well, she’s open to communists.
With the latest lemmy, federation can be comm specific so smaller comms could be federated while shitholes like 196 and this one can be banned. And letting blahaj people have access to traaaaa over here can help people with brainworms.
Support for refederation is conditional on hexbear mods willingness to step in where blahaj mods won’t, so it would be more work and something to not consider if it would be too much of a mod burden.
It would be good to link a few comms ago show people actual trans liberation theory and lifeboat some users.
That said, there is a sorta hexbear-light comm there as well, she’s open to communists.
Communist is really stretching it
These are just some left libs that have a few principles. They only look radical because the instance is comparatively so terrible
Ada wants to have a place for all trans people and has the nazi bar problem since she gives them leeway.
If the Nazis can hang with you, you're just a Nazi. That is the whole point of the Nazi bar thing. Again, the people who are defending her on here should self crit
Nazi trans fuck off
was going off things other commenters here have said about the comm, your link and image are the first contact with it
and yeah, not fedding with a nazi bar is fine and status quo
but haven’t seen anyone say blahaj admin is good and call for a total refed

I thought the same thing based on what people were saying about it, lol. They were really overselling it
but haven’t seen anyone say blahaj admin is good and call for a total refed
You can check out the last federation check in thread for some examples. I don't want to put anyone in particular on blast, because I think they're well-intentioned (just wrong)
Edit: Actually revisiting that thread, I don't see the examples I was thinking of. Hopefully you are correct and there are no Blahaj admin defenders on here
I know there are some in the community who haven't given up on wanting to try to fed with them, but as far as I'm concerned it's a fruitless effort. Ada has made it clear that she isn't willing to do anything to make her instance safer (like banning chasers) to protect our users from potential harassment, while at the same expecting that we make changes to accommodate her. She's also constantly been lying to her community about why we defederated them. Trying to work things out with someone like that is a waste of time.
It's the people's fault our system is so shit
-Someone with no material analysis
If more people unconditionally voted for the lesser evil surely that will push them left instead of continuing to creep to the right. There will be as many Manchins as needed to hinder anything even marginally good happening if they win no matter the margin.
If you’re going to do electoralism you have to understand that your vote is the main bargaining chip. The people who stay home do more to push the democrats left than someone going in to vote blue no matter who. The thing pissing me off by the people who are supposedly on the left constantly telling people that they have to vote is that they don't even understand (or pretend not to) electoral politics.
This is a person who believes natural law is an unjust hierarchy and can be dismantled by sufficient personal rigor so idealist is barely scratching the surface here
Blahaj Zone not close to beating the allegations, damn

Non-Voters, a safe space for closet Trump fans
"if you are not with us, you are against us" - how totalitarian of you!
Stalinists who never did any direct action in their lives
unlike voting? 
and self-hating trans people who want to be genocided and to take the West Bank with us!
I would not vote for the guy currently presiding over both these genocides taking place right now while doing less than nothing to stop them. Assimilationism is true self-hatred
who never did any direct action in their lives
Been arrested 4 times at protests, and one of the main people at my local Food Not Bombs. Also do vote for left or green candidates, although it does nothing in our system.
I wonder how many Palestine demos these guys have been to.
Maybe one on the Zionist side.
The Enemy! The Enemy is in disguise, everywhere! If you're not one of us you're one of Them!
This was made by a person who has never interacted with a non-voter outside of the internet.
self-hating trans people who want to be genocided and to take the West Bank with us!
libs love to talk, but the second standing for anything puts them in harms way they will fold every time

"self-hating trans people who want to be genocided" better not have been typed by a cis person or I will personally murder them.
Thankfully, they are trans, but that doesn't change how awful their posts are
These people do realise that the US version of first past the post, in the electoral college, means that a sizeable amount of people's votes literally do not matter? They get this right? If you live in a solid red state and vote blue, or vise versa, your vote effectively does not count. And that's before we get to the proportionality of seats assigned by the electoral college, which essentially makes rural landowners votes count multiple times more than people who live in the city, a remnant of the US constitution designed to give slave owners and large landowners more power. The only people whose votes actually count are a minority who live in swing states with a share of the electoral college large enough to influence the result of the election.
Just comparing it to the South African electoral system with proportional representation and one vote = one vote, the US system is backwards and hundreds of years out of date by comparison
To be frank, the way some people here talk about the election makes me think they sometimes forget this as well. You don't need to type 10 paragraphs about how you won't vote for Joe Biden when you live in Arizona lol
I have a suggestion for blahaj libs (and libs in general), give $1000-2000 to anyone who votes.
I'd like $10.000, that will solve most of my problems for a few months
If the mod of this comm personally gives me $1000 I would vote for Biden. Since he isn't doing that actually it means that he's the one supporting Trump
I'm significantly cheaper to buy off. I'll vote for whoever you want for like $12 and a candy bar
When you're totally not mad....
Hot damn that's some biting satire. Jon Swift in shambles.
At this point, 
Oh, I know this one! sings "Hexbears rage their battle to destroy the evil libs and chuds, of the bourgeoisie."
This is Blahaj theory
