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

Lmao, did we raise that one "violence/aggression" graph from 23% to 27%?
Thank you for your service comrades :fidel-cool:

Extreme Right includes antisemitic and Christian Identity forums, neo-Nazis, Proud Boys, secessionists, and White pride groups.
Extreme Left includes anarchist and socialist forums.
Wow, these two things are so equal.
From another one of this guy's presentations, this time about perceptions of policing:
You just know that they threw in the extremism definition at the top so they can pretend they're being objective, while hiding bias inside loaded terminology. Why use terms like heterodox when they can use eXtReMiSt instead?

The sharp rise in Violent/Aggressive Discourse in the Extreme Left is an artifact of the inclusion of Hexbear.net. The amount of history that can be collected from Hexbear right now is minimal.
Remember guys. If you just police thought, and tell people they aren't starving or dying, they won't become radicalized. :so-true:
The fucking stupidity of shit like this. Both right and left radicalization is a result of failing material conditions, not "think groups" like liberals love to believe. If you want the "extremes" to go away, start providing a quality life to people without having to take it from someone else. But naturally that would require people like the ones that did this study to understand the system. It would also require these people to realize they are part of the problem.

Holy shit, we're in the news! We've made it big

The amount of history that can be collected from Hexbear right now is minimal (Fig. 7).
Hexbear minimal retention policy stay winning
Lol "right now" he has lurked enough to know the policy.
YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO WE ARE FUCKING FAMOUS LETS FUCKING GOOOOOOOO
This month’s report is run without data from Reddit because of the migration of the Pushshift API. Reddit accounts for nearly half of the material used in this report. Its exclusion adversely impacts the tracking of Conspiracy/Fringe and Extreme-Left forums
What left wing forums are there on Reddit now?
let's get those numbers even higher, folks :fedposting:
:kitsupogi:
Extremism is when you want socialism and understand that the bourgeoisie will try to kill us all to stop it from happening.
Honestly the low level of it in the "extreme left" that they're tracking seems to be an artifact of having no fucking idea what to track and define as "extreme left". We are essentially the same as a lot of people that you'll find in dozens of other communities that they probably glossed over because they look like pretty average socialist spaces.
Like, the average socialist I meet at a protest has exactly the same fucking views as me. They're not here. But they'd be saying the same shit if they were.
You should include all the soft-left that you've glazed over but interpolate the data in such a way that it assumes the platform they're on isn't liberal. The only reason the rhetoric out there isn't just an endless quantity of calls for maoing all landlords and guillotine guillotine guillotine is that everyone knows damn fucking well the left gets banned on every liberal platform for that.
In short, your research only indicates the lack of socialist-run platforms rather than the lack of desire for revolution. Like, did you even include the word revolution in your assessment of leftists? You know what a revolution looks like right?
In other news, this guy's parents named him Dick Roger lmao
I think its a bit interesting how the Ukraine war basically did not move the needle at all, despite the extremely edgy :reddit-logo: posts saying all the nasty shit against Russians, either they are not counting racism or xenophobia(very likely selective bias here) or as expected the "extreme" devotion to defending Ukraine is just reddit shit that barely registers anywhere else.
They have one graph that corroborates every other finding e.g Google trends. The Ukraine war completely dropped off the radar. It is still relevant but just part of "contemporary" discourse lol.
I'm betting that if the US government starts a new war, any advocacy for the war (from the government, the media or normal internet users) wouldn't register at all, since they don't define it as "extremism" or a "call to violence". Just like the only "fake news" regarding 9/11 is people saying that GW Bush did it. Because the US government, NYT, WaPo, CNN, Fox News, MSNBC and all other media just lying that Iraq was involved isn't defined as "fake news" to begin with.
Good point, where's the extreme liberalism calling for the murder of the homeless? Execution of all the orcs? Etc etc etc. Doesn't exist because it's not a measure of extreme rhetoric but "anyone saying mean things that want to change the status quo or do anti-imperialism".
You're a hack Dick Rogers.
The best part about it is that the peer reviewers also won't know what any of this stuff is despite being 'experts' and thus will let it slide out the rectum of article writing.
I know I shouldn't really talk about this but I almost got kicked off my school's undergrad peer review council for rejecting too many papers because I had the audacity to actually check and read their source material which, hey surprise, more often than not didn't say what they said it said, or even contradicted what they said. I think one of the last straws when they told me to knock it off was when I had remembered reading an article that was basically the same research project, published a month before the paper was written, but was uncited by the paper as a contradictory study, despite complete relevance.
They were like 'they don't have to have every journal article possible in there' and I was like 'come on they didn't even bother to check for recent background studies, who knows what other older ones they missed, they probably didn't even consult a librarian.' After that I just decided, fuck it, if they don't care, I won't care either.
I might call for violence because some 3rd party didn't correctly conclude that this site is not extreme-left, but just a bunch of libs.

I'd like to say something to the Richard Rogers's vastly underpaid grad student who is reading this thread. I have a request. I hope you get a raise. I really do. Do you guys have a union? I bet that you don't. You might want to look into forming one. I hope that doesn't count as "extreme left" messaging and "hate speech".
Best wishes.
Research these nuts lmao got them (please research them I want to make eggs instead of sperm)
We did it!
"Statistically 0.0%, better include it" despite most of those kinds of posts getting deleted by mods or done by fedposting wreckers
Edit: like fuck it, include all the shit that gets deleted by twitter or facebook automods and you'd see a deluge of misanthropy that would wash away your hope in humanity
Extreme leftism requires self-defence against the bourgeoisie. I'd like to know what these supposed other extreme left spaces are that are like "let's keep asking very kindly for factory owners to give over their factories even while we get ground into dust"
We shall not be free until the last landlord is strangled with the entrails of the last cop
Hi, please edit to be 51+ words so you can be included in the data. Thanks!
Landlords, who profit from the exploitation of renters, and cops, who serve as the armed force of the ruling class, are two pillars of oppression that must be dismantled for true freedom to be realized. Landlords hoard property and wealth, driving up rent prices and making housing unaffordable for many. Cops, on the other hand, often abuse their power, disproportionately targeting communities of color and perpetuating systemic racism.
To achieve freedom for all, we must rise up against these oppressive forces. It is our duty to demand the abolition of landlords and the defunding and demilitarization of the police. We must resist the capitalist system that prioritizes profits over people, and fight for a society where access to housing is a right, not a privilege.
Let us come together in solidarity and continue the fight for a just and equitable world. Only when the last landlord is strangled with the entrails of the last cop will we truly be free.
Violent, extremist ChatGPT?
