so i made the mistake of opening twitter today. one of the first things i saw.
even better -- if you visit the person's profile, their bio says "Landlord, Southerner, A10 haver."
bonus points. when called out for their racist tweets, they post this gem calling African Americans obese. https://x.com/NotOkN1/status/1816987866527867059
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 [email protected]
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
I've noticed this new update with racists that Africans got trillions in aid but couldn't improve the continent, both ignoring that Africa is a continent and not one country and that the value lost from colonialism and neo-colonialism costed the continent more than trillions, and also that the U.S. budget was $6.13 trillion in FY 2022, the U.S. is much smaller, has less population and doesn't need as much Africa. no logic.
They literally don't think colonialism should matter. They don't even recognize modern neo-imperialism and extractive industry and super profits - just getting people to think through how what happened to Africa between 1880 to 1960 might have a lasting impact in the 2020s.
It's because they believe colonialism was "ancient history" and "has nothing to do with them" and that neocolonialism isn't real to them.
That's what I'm saying https://lemmygrad.ml/post/5047264/4630058
