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

MODERATORS
 

The comments are what you expect. All agree that we're psychopaths who support genocide and just want authority as a goal in itself. All agree we do no leftist praxis, I guess just based on vibes. One user wrote:

let’s be honest, they should be removed from society

which is cool. One-on-one, online or in person, I'm pretty patient with people like this, but when I see a whole thread like this with hundreds of upvotes and no pushback it makes me feel tired.

Real nice "leftist" community they've got over there

Edit: also this, data-laughing

they "should be physically removed" 🚁

That's a dog whistle towards Pinochet, right?

Anti-communists once again proving they'll side with fascists without a second's hesitation.

Virgin flying a helicopter to execute communists:

  • Contributes to climate change

  • Cringe fascist dogwhistle

  • Overplayed meme

Chad pushing fascists into the cuck pit:

  • Return fascist to soil

  • Even Google understands the reference

  • Forever funny

Credit where credit is due, Yugoslavian partisans knew what to do with a fascist.

They are so close to realizing that the word is as meaningless as "woke"

[–] [email protected] 56 points 1 year ago (2 children)

It isn't meaningless, in the same way "woke" isn't meaningless. It is purely reactionary. A primal visceral hatred of change, of a shift in status (particularly their own), of anything that might - even superficially - undermine their own sense of supremacy.

Woke is the sentiment that causes people to reject the modern state of affairs.

Tankies are the agents of change, coming to plow up their fields of strange fruit.

BARS holy shit. I think that's my favorite line I've seen posted here all fuckin month.

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 year ago

For those that dont know.

spoilerStrange fruit was a reference to black people hanging from trees.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago

Holy cow the anti tankies are actually just fascists who possibly could have guessed.

Anti-authoritarian is when you ban certain political persuasions from public life

Calling it a subreddit when you're not on reddit. I'm sorry, it's a terminal case of :lemmitor:#

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

omfg

didnt you get banned from there for a similar call out

[–] [email protected] 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

Yeah, I got suspended from the original sub ages ago bcs I got into a heated argument at someone in the replies to an "upvote to scare the tankies" meme that was just a picture of Syngman Rhee and then banned at a later date over getting angry at someone for saying that the US should go back into Afghanistan to liberate them from the Taliban.

I also got banned from the blahaj version recently for saying something along the lines of "ngl, it's sus af that you're accusing someone of being a tankie for posting an anti-fascist, anti US government meme" in reply to a comment that said "kick tankies out of 196" in the comments to that meme about the US hiring Nazi officials

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

i just wish blahaj banned 196 so we could all have a nice established trans specific server to be on without being harassed by chasers deeper-sadness. i hate how the queer community is so fragmented on the fediverse

Jesus Christ what the fuck

A Yankee sock puppet that spent more of his life speaking English instead of his mother tongue?

Ooooooo spoooooky

[–] [email protected] 34 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Same kind of fascism I'd expect to lurk in 3-no's queers. Then they wonder why I advocate for the total disfellowshipping of these consumer-queers-- if they wanna lay down with nazis, klansmen, and state dept. agents, let 'em. I won't be the one deworming and flea bathing them after their masters are done beating them like government mules.

Someone who got "no blacks, no fats, no fems" at the top of whatever gay dating profile they're currently on.

agony-deep That this is common enough for there to be a term for it says volumes, none of it good

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

There were so many a few years back that it was genuinely easier to stop expecting anything but micro- if not macro-aggressions out of white queers and refactor my "who I talk to" accordingly. Couldn't tell you the landscape now-- it was bad enough years ago that I just threw the shit out and started moving by introduction based on folk my homies have vetted.
