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

"I am not racist...Shing Shong Ling Long removed"

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago

to be fair, they didnt claim to not be racist

[–] [email protected] 66 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Damn the hexbears are gonna be so rude and unfriendly when they get to interact with the normal people of lemmy.

The fedeverse shouldn't fear us. They need us.

I really wonder what John Brown would think of us. A bunch of weird, foul mouthed people espousing economic and political systems that he might not have heard of, with bizarre hair and clothes, cheering him on.

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 year ago

he'd probably learn that slave patrols were professionalized and organized at all levels of government and conclude that his crusade had failed

He'd think we were losers and then recruit us to be the vanguard of his war party so we would die first. I'd happily join.

All of us together add up to at least two, maybe three, competent riflepeople.

Tervell would train us into a competent slaver hit squad

[–] [email protected] 28 points 1 year ago

I was just over on the 'gram informing everyone that Davy Crockett was a shithead for dying alongside traitorus slavers and that after the Mexican Army was done sending the Texans to hell they liberated two enslaved people who had been held captive by the Texans.

Not a single "methinks" in the entire comment. Redditors are evolving...

Yo I just noticed that Finland and Norway escapes the imperialist community label. What gives?

[–] [email protected] 45 points 1 year ago

Yeah it's messed up to let them off the hook but throw Czechia in, we were basically colonized after Czechoslovakia fell

[–] [email protected] 40 points 1 year ago

Probably wasn't handmade but just picked from any random same map that just happened to not include Finland and Norway on that topic.

Imagine carrying your Reddit branded avatar over onto Lemmy lmao

[–] [email protected] 49 points 1 year ago (1 children)

And it's the default reddit-logo pfp too

[–] [email protected] 39 points 1 year ago (2 children)

okay maybe it's a good bit

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

Either it's extremely funny or ChatGPT has come a long ways because I refuse to believe an actual human being could do that unironically.

In the country I live in China is definitely more respected than the USA.

[–] [email protected] 53 points 1 year ago (4 children)

Internationally

It's funny how libs ALWAYS take europe, north america and Australia for the whole world. It's the same assumption in every single comment criticizing China for whatever reason

[–] [email protected] 60 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The International Community:

Doesn't removed happen when they post a slur?

[–] [email protected] 43 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes. Text that matches the slur filter regex is replaced with removed.

ping pong authoritarian

Based. Anyone using a decadent Western handshake grip instead of a proletarian Chinese pen hold grip should be sent for 20 years of Laogai.

This is like if you gave a fox news boomer moonshine and asked it to do a stream of consciousness on China

John Brown is dead. Now is the time of monsters.

Reddit proves Yakub theory may have some legitimacy.

It's not like I'm mad that they're saying it. It's just pathetic. Do I get mad at cussing children? Is the word so horrible to me? No, it just stops them from being more articulate. It stunts their development. If a child is taking shots of alcohol it doesn't effect my body, but it's a pitiful sight. The racism while going to bat for finance capital is just sad, comrades.

Me epically owning le CCP
