i was browsing blahaj to see what the aftermath of defederation was like. reading the thread this came from made me so angry i had to just stop
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
The first paragraph is very:
If you are not a liberal at 25, you have no heart. If you are not a conservative at 35 you have no brain.
Which has been a pet peeve of mine for a while. I think usually because they don't give any reasoning or explanation. It's just "you don't understand the world yet", then explain it to me!
I feel like the intent has to be just to dismiss young people's views as being out of touch, without offering anything better.
I was conservative at 10, libertarian at 12, social democrat at 15, anarchist at 25, and Marxist-Leninist at 30.
Why would I become more conservative when capital is making the world more shit every year of my life lol
I was a libertarian at 25 and i'm a communist at 40, their truism sucks and is wrong
Same, also with having kids still only drove me further left.
Wait thinking Johns are gross is being detached from reality now? Really? Have any of these people actually talked to anyone in real life? Even fucking dudebros hate on Johns and call them simps lmao. Like I'm telling you, you're not going to find much support for this in the real world. There's a reason men don't solicit sex workers in public and tell their wives about it.
There's a reason sex work models in some countries make "selling" legal but "buying" illegal. It's a real thing in the real world.
Didn't we just have an anti-SWERF struggle session a couple months ago? I thought the consensus was that sex has already been commodified and that sex work is no more "selling your body" than coal mining or any of a number of other jobs is, and that if you're taking particular offense to sex work you should seriously reconsider whether that energy is coming from a sexist slut-shaming puritanical place or truly from your leftist values.
I didn't take any particular stance on the issue because I'm neither sex worker, nor john, nor a woman. I guess I'm saying this partly to restate the strict anti-SWERF hexbear line, and partly to clarify my own understanding, not to attack you personally because I don't think you've said anything necessarily incompatible with this, but it could be taken that way.
Yeah, those shitlibs really drove my brain cells to the brink of death in such an intense way that it awoke me from my 2 year old slumber. No more lurking, only dunking from now on.
"Here's my flimsy excuse to say that pronoun tags are a bad thing"
- another transphobic sock puppet account
Sweetie you're not an ally to LGBTQ people unless you're a mask off scratched liberal who loves war.
ur not an LGBTQ ally unless you want to arm nazis
The A in LGBTQIA is for Azov
"Did you know that if you don't throw your trans comrades under the bus to appease chasers and ableists that it totally means you're actually just using them as a shield bro, just trust us bro"
Every accusation a confession.
Just like all their other bullshit. They claim we're right-wing, they claim we aren't LGBTQ+ accepting, they claim we support Putin, yet no matter how many times we ask, never once have they ever bothered to pony up any evidence to back up these wild accusations.
The issue is that the liberals have figured out you don't need evidence. You just need more people to repeat a message often enough for it to become the accepted """truth""". It doesn't have to be the actual truth but you create it by making people believe it through repetition.
It's propaganda, and it works. Nobody is immune to it including us, but the more switched-off to propaganda that people are the more susceptible to it they are. And the vast majority of people are switched off to it.
It's a good thing we outnumber and outpost them
That's why they defederate us though. They create a chamber in which we don't exist, and then repeat the propaganda without opposition where people believe it.
They did the same with historical revisionism, like the ribbentrop pact, and look at how almost every lib repeats that ahistorical shit now.
Social media pillarisation is about getting communists away from susceptible liberals, so that they don't become communists and so that communists don't interfere with their propaganda by injecting the actual truth.
"Ok guys I just got this great idea for how we can troll the left, it's really funny I promise, what if we like, what if we all like, set up a community where we pretend to be commies, and also a bunch of us were like, trans and gay and stuff? No no like hear me out we would like ban anyone who says slurs or questions the validity of trans people in any way, lol. Like, what if we designed a bunch of custom emojis with the trans flag and made everyone display pronouns next to the name to make sure nobody gets misgendered? That'd be so funny lol. But we HAVE to make sure nobody catches on, so we should just like, keep the bit to ourselves for a couple years, we'd have to like, spend a couple years hanging out in that kinda space with just us until we can perfect the bit. Ok so who's down?"
Seriously, have these people met chuds before? I'd be impressed to see one that could keep the mask on for like a day.
Don't forget having fucking reading groups and forums for learning about leftist theory and history and having many users on hand who can discuss Marxist, etc. works with a great deal of familiarity, often readily including citations and encouraging people to do their own reading.
This is some "Judeo-Bolshevism" level shit
"JohnBrownWasRight"? Sounds like something a republican would say in an alternate history where the Southern Strategy didn't lead to a reversal in Republican and Democrat's positions on race in the 60s. Clearly the Mandala Effect is at work here! No more sand painting until we get this under control!
I mean, you are. If it looks like a dog and barks like a dog...
Actual communists would be trying to get Democrats on their side; they need them if they're going to stand chance at holding office or gaining seats. What you guys are doing is driving away the people you need the most. Your behavior makes no sense for a communist. I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers. That alone tells me everything I need to know about this place.
The point I'm trying to make is that you're not fooling anyone, MAGAts.
Edit: How do I disable inbox replies? I really don't care to read what any of you idiots have to day. I don't listen to terrorists. Don't you guys have a courthouse to protest in front of? Go give your previous "god emperor" your attention instead and leave me alone.
I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers.
we have plenty of emojis dedicated to dunking on exactly that
also
Hey libs you guys will love these:
We have an entire fucking comm devoted to it
This guy just doesn't understand liberals are also right-wing
Actual communists would be trying to get Democrats on their side
lmao
and what have democrats done for communists? Why shouldn't they get communists on their side?
I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers.
The acceptable range of opinions on this instance regarding what should be done with right wingers ranges from the moderate position of "Force them into re-education camps" to "Force them into a pit and throw in dynamite."
I'm really not sure how we could possibly make this more clear. BASH THE FASH
I'm a Maoist now, Jack!
Democrats should be the ones trying to get communists on their side you absolute dipshit that's literally how political bargaining works. You're just a mad lib. Cope and seethe more
Actual communists would be trying to get Democrats on their side
You do understand that some people live in countries that are not the USA, right?
Actual communists would be trying to get Democrats on their side; they need them if they're going to stand chance at holding office or gaining seats. What you guys are doing is driving away the people you need the most. Your behavior makes no sense for a communist
I thought this was a joke at first, I'm serious. Not everybody on this site is from the US, but the democrats are a garbage party and do nothing for communists in the US either. Even if we had a one-party dictatorship of the democrats, they would simply re-create the two-party gridlock within their own party, as they have done numerous times in the past (Obama administration, Biden administration, various democratic strongholds such as California). They're increasingly not much of a party anyway, since they have no apparent means of forcing their own members to follow the party line.
I mean for one, you literally never hate on right wingers. That alone tells me everything I need to know about this place.
We literally do that all the time. You probably only found out about us after all this federation drama, during which we've been mostly making fun of all the goddamn liberals it's brought in, so that's why your perspective is skewed.
The point I'm trying to make is that you're not fooling anyone, MAGAts.
Motherfucker you are a fool.
