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

You are completely wrong, this is equivalent to supporting the democrats and "anti-fascistly" voting for biden.

I mean, yeah kinda. I'd rather live under liberalism than under fascism, I'm not an accelerationist.

I'm sorry brother when I see you use those 3 words in the same sentence I can't help but feel like politics is just an internet game to you, you're not an "accelerationist" you're probably nothing. Good luck

So uh what am I to do here exactly to be the One True Leftist in Europe according to you? My only local real leftist org is kinda crap (I've seen for myself), leftism in Europe in general is extremely weak, save for Greece and maybe France, and that's a big maybe.

If EU liberalism gets deposed it's not gonna get any better here and my life and the lives of many of my loved ones is gonna get a lot worse, why the fuck would I cheer that on exactly?

I'm not telling you what to do I'm telling you you're wrong about the EU "stopping fascism"

My only local real leftist org is kinda crap

But if I WERE telling you what to do, I'd say join that one and hopefully talk to people in real life. It's better than thinking about things like "accelerationism"

It's not stopping fascism, it's just a better state of affairs than fascism, literally the "lesser evil". Stop putting words in my mouth.

I did. Some people were cool, some sucked, the org itself is irreparably poisoned by petty infighting tho.

Maybe do something similar yourself instead of tut-tutting people about not posting enough eu-cool emojis on hexbear.net

Oh I'm sorry I didn't realize you were making a a "lesser evil" argument, very astute point I'll defend the EU (hitler's wet dream) now as the only alternative to fascism

Very silly thing to say, I don't care about emojis I replied to opinions here which I disagreed with, if I had agreed with them I wouldn't have

Ah so you're just being a pissy debatebro over my choice of words, got it. Take care.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

Not a debatebro just disagreed with you and replied because I think you're wrong. You take care too
