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

In this post, I saw a lot of people coming to Bad Empanada's defense, and felt like they may be uninformed about his actual positions of things, so I felt that this ought to be posted.

BadEmpada is like Mao in that he has some good takes and bad takes. He is unlike Mao in that Mao wasn't a youtube.

Personally I will say that I think we should go further and work towards a good empanada.

edit: Tone clarifier, I am doing a bit. If you actually believe I would believe this, then I am a teeny bit saddened. My actual opinions are much dumber.

BadEmpadanus is like Lysenko in that he has two good takes and the rest are all bad. He is unlike Lysenko in that Lysenko wasn't a thinly-veiled fascist who intentionally decided to help further colonize Argentina.

Personally I will say that I think we should go further and work towards fewer empanadas as they are not a significant part of a healthy diet.

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 23 points 3 months ago

Let's compromise and agree he is kinda like Kropotkin because they both have names that are kind of funny, and that you can have a good empanada once in a while, as a treat

He just wasn't a youtube, but otherwise they're identical.

Calling youtubers 'a youtube' is a pretty solid diss.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 11 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Reminds me of Ronald Jenkees in the early days addressing his audience with “hello youtubes”

[–] EmmaGoldman@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I miss that guy. He'd just awkwardly start with a rushed "hello YouTubes" and then hit you with a track that sounds like distilled good vibes.

[–] JamesConeZone@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

He likes Nixon

revisionism. Mao would be doing daily vlogs alongside Mr. Beast style videos.

[–] sweatersocialist@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

the daily vlogs go on his second channel, ZedongGrindset

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 18 points 3 months ago

Of course, I should've investigated before I spoke

[–] SoloboiNanook@hexbear.net 26 points 3 months ago (2 children)

BadEmpada is like Mao

Nooooo NOOOOO. I don't even know who this dork is but NOOOOOOOOO

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What do you mean? They both had good opinions and bad opinions, I am very serious and also objectively correct.

Not an argument. And since we are obviously having a very serious debate about a very serious topic, I would like for you to concede your position and admit that the only difference is that Mao wasn't an influencer debate-me-debate-me

[–] Assian_Candor@hexbear.net 20 points 3 months ago (1 children)

This should be a bannable offense

[–] Egon@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago

I am very serious, the only difference really is that Mao isn't a youtube. Time will tell wether BadEmpada, the modern day philosopher that he is, will have any actual influence on this world and we were right to care about him or if he was just another way to get my brain to give me sweet dopamine by arguing with people online.

Bad Empanada is waging a protracted streamers' war.

Doing the mass line but for posting
