Bit idea: Don't share your take if you don't understand your take (hexbear.net)

Doing this bit will stop you from getting banned. It will also give you a chance to listen and learn without getting banned. It will also stop you from accidentally (or purposely?) harming your comrades, preventing you from getting banned. Hexbear is not theory but it can be a decent start so shut up and read and listen and maybe at most ask some simple questions about things and then accept the good answers you get so you can try to learn instead of posting your shit take and thus getting banned.

We go through this cycle once in a while and the folks who survive it are the folks who already have correct takes and the folks who shut up and listen to and learn from the correct takes. If you aren't sure if you're the former then make damn sure you're the latter.

NO INVESTIGATION, NO RIGHT TO SPEAK

Unless you have investigated a problem, you will be deprived of the right to speak on it. Isn't that too harsh? Not in the least. When you have not probed into a problem, into the present facts and its past history, and know nothing of its essentials, whatever you say about it will undoubtedly be nonsense. Talking nonsense solves no problems, as everyone knows, so why is it unjust to deprive you of the right to speak? Quite a few comrades always keep their eyes shut and talk nonsense, and for a Communist that is disgraceful. How can a Communist keep his eyes shut and talk nonsense?

It won't do!

You must investigate!

You must not talk nonsense!

I make people so mad sometimes when I am asked to share my opinion on something and I say "actually I don't know enough about that to have a well formed opinion." This simple statement enrages people to a ridiculous degree. Why should I have an opinion on something I don't know enough about to have an opinion on? It makes no sense and yet it is apparently the expected state of being

New tagline? I thinks it's already one on grad too!

[–] [email protected] 9 points 1 month ago (1 children)

It is already a tagline here.

Idea: We should either decrease non-theory taglines or put more of them so they are more likely than the "haha internet drama" ones.

For every haha internet drama tagline, one theory tagline must be added.

we should try to find theory taglines that sound like internet drama taglines, to keep people guessing
