Something about the images they chose makes me laugh every time. It's like they asked HB to pick them.

[โ€“] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago (7 children)

Honestly, what's the most violent text/image you can find undeleted here? You'd have to search for days. I've seen some of the alt-right websites, they have wojack depictions of murdering-people-they-disagree-with casually front-paged. You'd be thinking "That's a big enough sample size" in less than an hour.

Probably capabara-tank

I mean, there's that shinzo Abe meme. Also the pit/wall are pretty violent references. (not that fascists don't deserve it)

[โ€“] SoyViking@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago

Libs would be too lazy to investigate what the meaning of these memes are.

Let's be fair barbara-pit fash-bash garcia-cock-shotty the-doohickey no-fash stalin-gun-1 stalin-gun-2 officer-down etc. I can't find the one that is specifically (I think) an SS soldier with motion blur to suggest being tossed into the Barbara Pit, but you get the idea.

Forever love how the most common pic used to represent gulags is from Muppets: Most Wanted (2014) and has Kermit being wheeled out if you look closely (obscured by center guyโ€™s head)

[โ€“] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'm now going to just refer to Bezos as center guy

[โ€“] WIIHAPPYFEW@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I couldnโ€™t tell who he was from that angle lmao

[โ€“] Juice@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I thought it was the dopey buzzard from Looney Tunes

I'll always love The Muppets though. Muppet Christmas Carol is a legit touching movie.

Are we mentioned in this one? The last academic study on this that I saw explicitly called us out for skewing the data set.

[โ€“] AernaLingus@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

Nope, it's an old article and really doesn't say anything of substance:

This is hilarious, but looking at the rest of the data, the "extreme left" doesn't even get off the x-axis lol

[โ€“] chickentendrils@hexbear.net 54 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I remember the data analysis for this was fucked. It just used word lists and logic that would make detect leftists discussing right-wing violence as violent content itself. At least they were public about the methodology it just sucked.

It happens to work pretty well with the Q people, definitely incels, and pretty much all right-wing forums though. The worst you can find on here amounts to wondering why mass violence is never directed at the those responsible, praising slaveowner liquidation. The congressional baseball game guy was the only notable example in modern times.

Meanwhile on the right....

violence

Incels: every single thread contains rhetoric encouraging mass violence, express desire to kill women

Q: routine calls for the deaths of low level bureaucrats who didn't throw down for Donald

Reich wingers: passing laws to kill trans, gay youths, force pregnancies upon people in the """developed""" country where they're most likely to die, even in cases of raped kids

The worst you can find on here amounts to wondering why mass violence is never directed at the those responsible, praising slaveowner liquidation. The congressional baseball game guy was the only notable example in modern times.

You forget the most successfuladventure-time since Gavrilo:

[โ€“] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Yeah, I know. We really need to step up our game.

[โ€“] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

I will be proposing one violence every hour freedom-hater

[โ€“] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Bit idea: take martial arts and then talk about the techniques you learn and how they could damage the human body in a 50 word essay in order to further skew the data set.

TW//I'm gonna do it

spoilerIf I were in an MMA match against my political opponent and I got them in an armbar, it would be dangerous if they didn't submit. As my responsibility is only for my own safety and my goal is to win, I would continue to apply pressure to the joint. Therefore, their arm would get hyper-extended and it would cause damage to the joint, ultimately it would likely tear ligaments. In extreme cases you could pop the elbow out of place. A referee intervenes on their behalf at that point. It's a combat sport, but it's not a blood sport; you're not supposed to butcher each other.

Iirc it was because the way we used to hide posts older than 3 months was screwing with their data collection so it looked like there was a sharp increase 3 months before the paper was published

[โ€“] Philosoraptor@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

Yeah I think that's right also. It's still both very funny and extremely rad that we got the callout.

[โ€“] StellarTabi@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

Of course we were hiding it, the poor database optimization was just a cover story.

Cool, capitalism is violent with its mere existence. Left-wing violence is self defense.

[โ€“] AlkaliMarxist@hexbear.net 56 points 1 year ago

I'm sure the freeze-peach people will come to our defense any time now. I'll just wait...

[โ€“] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And the far-right ISN'T like this? They commit hate crimes on a constant basis, but 99.999% of the human race loves them.

[โ€“] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 56 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I don't think most of the human race is far right?

[โ€“] Gucci_Minh@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Perspective gets skewed when you live in a fascist westoid country. Visit China or Cuba and see how based everyone is. (Not Shanghai, Shanghai is cringe)

Funny how there's always an outrage when we start behaving like the right does.

[โ€“] Utter_Karate@hexbear.net 24 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is no time to stop the violent discourse! I hope every liberal and right wing thinker stubs their toe really bad, and then they stick their toe in their mouth because of the pain, and then they just zone out, but their toenail continues to grow and punctures the back of their throat and curls around and comes out of their eye, and then when they snap back to reality and pull their foot out of their mouth they accidentally rip off their entire face and their brain falls out on the floor, and we all point and laugh because their brain is so small and smooth! That would be just swell!
