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
The racism is just so deeply ingrained they don't understand, and there's not much to say about Obama at this point; he's taking the piss and he knows it.
Thank you for posting educational stuff and not a pig shit. I never knew any of that. Holy shit. That sounds amazing. I've gotta go look more into this.
Gaddafi was a weird one. By our standards he's a reactionary, he rejected socialism but also rejected liberalism and wanted to find another way that wasn't either. He wrote the green book (inspired by Mao's little red book) going over some of his views.
He deserves criticism, but at the same time there is absolutely no arguing that he wasn't vastly superior to unfettered capitalism. He also experimented with a kind of democracy that hasn't really been done anywhere else ever, this will come across as a surprise to anyone who has heard the ebil dictator propaganda, but that's par for the course when it comes to dealing with how the US portrays its enemies. It is very much worth your time to explore: https://www.foreignpolicyjournal.com/2013/01/12/gaddafis-libya-was-africas-most-prosperous-democracy/
Again I'm not without criticism for him. I fundamentally believe his path was a mistake, and its failure sort of makes that clear. Had he centralised more power rather than implementing this form of democracy he could have kept Libya's nukes, and then what followed would never have happened. I applaud wanting to achieve this level of democracy but think it's a huge mistake and ignored the material conditions in an irresponsible way. It's something worth aiming for, but progressing too quickly in this area leaves gaps for the state to fail that put millions of peoples lives at risk.
Anyway this is one of the reasons why we have a visceral hatred of Hillary Clinton. She orchestrated much of what happened to Libya. And she was proud of it. https://youtu.be/6DXDU48RHLU https://youtu.be/ABdF7dyUIcc
Fucking evil monsters walk this planet. Pisses me off just talking about it.
If we're going to talk evil monsters, let's also add a Clinton friend into the discussion: Madeleine Albright
When asked if she thinks half a million Iraqi children dead to have successful sanctions was worth it she said she does.
The US government is full of little Kissingers.
