the_dunk_tank
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
They're literally just doing mental gymnastics to try to figure out how they can be actively supporting a genocide and still be the good guys. And the playboys getting pretty stale.
"Fuck Biden, he's literally actively carrying out a genocide."
"Yea well trump would bebworse, trust me."
"Fuck Biden, deportations have gone up under him since Trump and he's trying to eliminate the asylum program."
"Yea but Trump would be worse, trust me."
"Fuxk Biden, were drilling more oil than anybody at any point in history"
"Yea well Trump would be way worse"
This coming from the same people who have been wrong about fucking every important decision for the last 30 years, and also managed to lose elections to Bush and Trump.
I have been having this conversation all month (year, decade, century) and I am losing my goddamned mind.
Damn I forgot that Biden is being held hostage and forced to circumvent congress to run guns to Israel, and forced to sign that border lockdown bill, and forced to give all those companies oil
Poor powerless little president
Blow up the train you spineless cowards
It’s close enough to the tracks that it would hurt the hostages, and the wreckage would probably have enough momentum to hit them anyway.
This is a good analogy actually. Blowing up the train would feel good, but that isn’t going to stop the momentum, and it’s unfortunately virtually impossible to outright stop it’s momentum at this point. All that blowing up the train would accomplish is sending fiery wreckage towards the middle track.
This is why accelerationism is stupid.
Dot world delenda est
Blowing up the Genocide Machine is bad actually because of this scenario I imagined
I agree it has to go but we need to keep feeding souls into it and shut it down slowly (they will never shut it down and will forget this conversation happened as soon as it's time to go to brunch)
Why did these people leave reddit in the first place?
I'd honestly like to know. Looking through their post histories, most of them aren't FOSS geeks and are only active in politics threads.
I hate to say shit like this, but it seems like the reddit astroturf campaigns have come to lemmy
There were many of them last year who were like "I was a power poster who had N amount of karma, and now I've left it! So long, spez!" so I think some of them left simply because they hedged their bets that they'd be settlers in a land untouched by hecking updooted content.
I also think many of them went back after it became obvious R*ddit wasn't going anywhere and the "important" moderators were in fact easily replaceable. When I predicted this at .world many of the libs there were unhappy, but by now I think I've been proven right.
Hive mind migration over 3rd party app API drama happened, proving of course that none of them even have an original thought.
Removed Comment Once again I'm reminded of how the Holocaust was allowed to happen. Keep posting your silly memes that you use to excuse your beloved president deepthroating a far-right foreign government committing genocide. "Never again" if it's convenient. Downvote if you love genocide. by hark@lemmy.world
reason: rule 1
Rule 1:
Be civil Jokes are okay, but don’t intentionally harass or disturb any member of our community. Sexism, racism and bigotry are not allowed. Good faith argumentation only. No posts discouraging people to vote or shaming people for voting.
my man hark what are you doing in stormfront 2
In this house we believe
In letting inflation disproportionately fuck minorities and the poor
Respecting the letter of law is more important than women's rights
In shutting down the border until we figure this thing out
Drilling for oil is good
Trans athletes aren't people
Committing less genocide than the other guy (while still committing genocide) is a selling point
"at this point"
It always was. It was an alternative to Reddit caused by Reddit's downfall that offered no alternative to the ideological conditions of Reddit in the first place. These were people so addicted to Reddit they needed custom apps to fathom using it.
Let's say for a second this reality were true. What they're saying is they're still ok with the Palestinian genocide. They really think this is a good look.
Right because Biden is doing so much to help Mexico and Ukraine and the lgbtq community
Lol the BLM flag in there to. Libs are so delusional
If people like William Lloyd Garrison and John Brown voted Whig party every single election and attempted to nudge them left we would still have fucking slavery.
The Whig parties death in the 1850s is what allowed the more radical Republican Party to rise. No one looks back on the years of Whig party rule and says, “wow but at least the slavery was ran more politely.”
It's delusional to think that a political party that uniamously supports genocide abroad wouldn't also uniamously support genocide at home
Actually it became Reddit 2 when I stopped using it 10 months ago.
I was the only thing holding back total Redditeurization. 😔
!!Warning!! Extreme cringe
"I hope this post gets a lot of tankie comments. They’ll be flockin’ to a blockin’
Heh. See, cause. It rhymes. So.
The one yesterday had that commenter who was all “what’s this? Oh it took me a second cause I blocked all the tankies” and that’s when I realized I forgot to block lemmy.ml. Now that that’s done, it’s just onsie-twosies. It’s a bright, bright sunshiney day."
Adults in the room, everyone.
Honestly, I think it's time to push the Lib onto the tracks
It's funny... alotta the fellow users even disagree with them pro-genocide Bidenists , it seems...
Future lemmy.ml migrants?
I myself had my first account in .world . I left when they blocked !piracy!piracy@lemmy.dbzer0.com tough.
Projection is a played-out accusation, but where the fuck do Democrats get off accusing leftists of being grandstanding and sanctimonious?
And off not taking real action to stop genocides...
They don't/didn't like when that's pointed out. Especially when they grab the shit meme from politicalhumor a few hours later
It's funny when I say "I don't believe Trump would be worse than Biden on Palestine", suddenly these debate bros, logic bros, logical fallacy referees do not understand the difference between "I don't believe this is true" and "I believe that this is false and the opposite is true".
Power must feel really fucking sweet if these dipshits hallucinate having it
