Vague anti first world sentiment is now tankieism
the_dunk_tank
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
Biggest insult so far is that he implied I'm just tankie-adjacent
No man, no. I've gone full tank by now, and I proudly wear that label like marshal zhukov wore his medals!
Edit: also imagine the McCarthist brainworm, removing a well-received pro-piracy post in the pro-piracy instance just to own the tankies, lol. π§ πͺ±
Reason why it was removed according to this guy:
makes a false equivalence that living in a βprivileged first world countryβ means you must be a pro-corporate lapdog
Not all westerners are corporate shills, but all corporate shills are westerners. When you're able to afford media and a decent lifestyle, you start to look down upon those who can't, you berate them for being "parasites" at worst and for "not supporting the poor corporations" at best.
I remember a time when piracy was the norm, when they wanted to show us a movie in school, they would either bring a burned CD or go to a streaming site, now they have won the "cultural war" and those things would be considered on par with armed robbery. 15 years ago we had people selling pirated games on the streets, good times those were. For context I live on the poorer side of the westoid core and our school system is chronically underfunded, it's not rare for a school to literally fall into pieces.
They tried to argue with me in a post I made about the banning of my post but at this point I think I'm not even gonna argue with them, the only thing they can do is reinstate my post but they won't, having a cheap laugh at their expense is better. Having an infinite discussion with them is less productive than having it with my (fantastic, beautiful and far smarter than them) cat.
These people can't be argued with, if I have the time I can find another guy from lemmygrad talking about it1: you can always win the conversation with libs (as their arguments don't contain any substance) but they always want the last word on anything, if you take the bait, you're gonna be engaged with them till the end of time, and frankly I don't have too much time to spare rn.

And a selected quote:
99.9% pure basedness concentrate
Oh dear, thatβs probably it for now, this lib has reached the point that they will simply regurgitate the same circular statements again and again. A well-coordinated team of comrades can keep them going like this for hours, but it will just be repeats of their previous statements over and over again, so thereβs nothing new to learn here.
I am not following their preferred script and it upsets them, they want me to play their games, and have run out of new ways to try to get me back on their preferred track. Here we see the real tragedy of liberal brainworms. They simply believe that insisting upon something enough will make it so, that just repeating the same things over and over give them more weight, make them more correct, as if simply stating something enough will make it true.
authoritarian states
I sure do love vibes based liberal politics
Bidet "uhhmmm we'll forgive π΄ $2 of student loans for every American, we'll put a mortgage on the white house and send the money to Ukraine! "
(lib crowd explodes into cheers of "heil 99% hitler, heil the lesser evil" )
Lib pundit: "sure Biden is a fossil, a weirdo, a genocide apologist and a warmonger, but at least he's not putler the baby eater! LESSER EVIL 99% HITLER"
Trumpet "folks, I'll personally manage interest rates, build a wall surrounding the Atlantic Ocean and π΄ make Atlantis pay for it! Yes folks we have the biggest walls we have the most handsome walls in the world"
(conservative crowd explode in cheers of "stop the Atlantidean caravan, build the Atlantic wall" )
Conservative pundit: "sure trump is a fossil, wears diapers, he's a warmonger, and has fascist militias on his side, but at least he's not a commie tyrant like Xi! DON'T YOU LIKE FREERUMB?
Since I started looking at amerikkkrakkker politics my brainworms rate has skyrocketed, it's at the same time the funniest and the saddest shit ever. At the same time I don't and I do get how Americans don't revolt immediately.
Brainwormed rant over
I love Hexbear because we always have random creative writing like this
Ah yes, Unruffled. One of the "anarchist" admins of the "anarchist" dbzer0. I remember this clown defending Nazis in Ukraine when he commented on a Hexbear post. I then went to check his profile, and had a good laugh when I saw that he claims to oppose apologists for authoritarian states.
Oh that guy, he got owned by a bunch of hexbears on a thread about Ukraine news, he's probably just gonna find a reason to take that out on whatever hexbears he sees.
authoritarians will be banned
Criticizing first world is verboten
The fuck is "Noopolitik?"
Noopolitik is a an academic word for Russiagate brain. Noopolitik refers to mass politics influenced by misinformation/the Internet
It's also still used if "misinformation" turns out to be 100% true.
Also, it's for some reason never applied if, say, Israel pushes the narrative that babies were beheaded, or if Zenz says there's a genocide in the middle of Urumuqi, Xinjiang.
The term was invented by defense experts John Arquilla and David Ronfeldt in a 1999 RAND Corporation study and often appears in connection with that of smart power.
You can't make this up (although apparently you can)
doesn't like authoritarians
riled up by the word "bootlicker"
π€
The Dude profile pic. Guaranteed libertarian
I had to look that one up: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noopolitik
I think he means Xi and/or Putler bots, because he suffers from BlueAnon conspiracy theories about social media.
I had to scroll back up, it literally just doesn't draw that equivalence?? Tankies on the brain I guess :rent-free:
At least McCarty was paid lol
That bio is basically "no fun allowed" smh literally 1986
First worlders aren't all corporate bootlickers waah waah has anyone thought of the first worlders πππ
If you're pro-corporation, what the fuck are you doing modding a piracy forum?!!?
People are hypocrites is the easiest answer to this I think.
They want free media on their invented terms, but want to criticize the free media consumption of others. It's been a thing in piracy communities since the beginning unfortunately. The great "debate" over "ethical piracy" or some shit. Everyone thinks they're fucking Batman out here with the correct moral code.
The "lib who thinks they're an anarchist and serves as a keyboard warrior to fight anything progressive" guys are so fucking annoying to deal with. At least stop making actual anarchists seem so miserable
Anticommunism leads to liberalism or fascism? I'm hearing this for the first time, terrible news, terrible news. It was a great instance, a beautiful instance.
If hating on multimillion media companies makes you a tankie, we may as well open up the gates of the CCCP to... literally everybody? What battle are you picking here? Whose back they got, Sony?
It's official guys. "Tankie" is the new "antisemite"
I will always assume DbZero is some dragon ball spinoff I've never heard of
I'm imagining a version where the dragon balls aren't real and nobody gets wished back to life.
Nice posting comrade . Keep it up.
Good to have you on board, you tankie-adjacent
Eugene is hyped to buy the Nintendo Switch 2, he loves his mario zelda treats
Yes my instance is a bunch of dumb fucks... The mods are the worst offenders.
They also have 0 fucking idea how to sus out the bot farms. The moderators also don't have an ability to view their chat logs. If you message them >7 days later, they have NO context for what you said before.
I'm totally sure there were 5x the number of people who liked the OG post that drilled down 50 comments in a chain just to dunk on some "tankie"
300 upvote post 1200 upvote comment
NOTHING TO SEE HERE ;)
Real " tankie" energy.
No attacking .
Instance creator in here explaining that if you remove all instances of "piracy" from the meme then it stops being related to piracy.
I'm just gonna say that Eugene and his ilk are very common in video game communities and I hate them. I remember reading through the a famous FF7 (original) modding forum for a famous translation mod and they would show open contempt for people acquiring the PS1 era game through illicit means. In a modding forum of all places.
I was going to say wasn't that a real guy during BLM taking a katana to defend other people's property until he got turned into a pretzel by a crowd
(On the og post, I saw you comrade)
Petition to call this "Unruffled" (more like Ruffled amirite?) fella Eugene from now on
just saying there's an active defed nom thread for these shitlords in /c/hexbear
This meme about antipiracy losers is not piracy related! And I bet a tankie posted it!!!
The fuck? Lmao
Imagine being a corporate bootlicker in a fucking piracy community. What's the point of piracy then if you're just going to lick the boot? So are they just a corporate bootlicker who's too cheap to pay for slop lol
