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

these types of people feel like they're flailing wildly for an identity

it's all just college students trying to fit in with cliques, right? some people become goth in college, some get into baseball, some weirdos do whatever this is. "I'm in the neoliberal club" yeah ok

Its normal for young people to generate some random ideology not really linked to their actual conditions in any way. It's usually not very serious or backed that strongly but instead draping in aesthetic.

The true radicalisation comes after screaming in the staff room after a few years of working realising this is it forever. Or me hiding in the toilets at my office until the lights turn off and i just continue sitting there.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago

yeah sometimes I actually want to sympathize with younger people who do this. They're adopting wacky ideologies and making it their entire personality because they don't have need for politics yet. It's a fun game for them

NATO leftist strikes again. And he has a Taiwan flag. Dude can go fuck himself for that. The homophobic Ukrainians would probably murder his ass but keep simping for them.

There's a certain curiosity to watching liberals' understanding of China retreat to the frontiers.

They've given up on "Free Tibet". The Uighurs are falling down the memory hole. Now Taiwan is the extent of liberals' understanding of Chinese socio-economics. Gotta wonder how long before they're demanding China decolonize Singapore, Vietnam, and Japan.

People seem to have forgotten about the Hong Kong riots roughly 15 minutes after the NED money dried up and the consent manufacturers had to be transferred elsewhere.

Volt has always been and will always be a recuperative op to make radlibs even more non-threatening. They're basically the Greens minus the environmentalism and with even more neolib bs. I've always wondered who falls for that shit, Volt is entirely irrelevant even at the joke elections for the EU parliament where everybody just picks whoever they believe to be the the funniest party on the ballot, but in hindsight i could've guessed that the Venn diagram between these losers and the European V*ush fandom is a perfect circle.

[–] Gosplan14_the_Third@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

Volt aren't radlibs, they're regular libs of the common kind.

They're a party tailor-made to the average student liberal, meaning of course that they'd get like 20% of the vote if there was no tactical voting nonsense going on.

This kind of people used to be even more common in the past, but I suppose the kind of person to watch Vaush in Europe is also the kind of person to care more about the US Presidential election than any local news.

Cool! Name the last legitimately antifascist action that you took.

(Obviously don't go encouraging people to dox themselves by actually saying this to someone. But you get my drift.)

This kid needs to be bullied more. And this is coming from me a staunch anti bully and significant victim of it. It's better to suffer lifetime trauma like me than be like he is.

His bio has a thumbs down for the US, Russia, and China, yet he simps for an organization who's main goal is to advance US imperialism. Makes a whole lot of sense. The kind of brainworms I've come to expect from Vaush funny-clown-hammer fans.

Pink Capitalist, Globalist, and Anti-Italian

The whole world needs a gay global capitalist system that exploits the labor of Italians

These people are just trying to take the piss out of socialists because they know their real ideology is extremely safe and mainstream. They get paid to tweet while interning at the Institute for Peaceful War and Extraction. We shall neither read their tweets nor reply to them.

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago (1 children)

This is what happens when your entire ideology is replying with Chad memes

A socialist who loves capitalism??

"Stop texting my girl."

"Who's your girl cause I texted Beyonce?"

"That's funny. Stop. Seriously."
