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

So transparently an op.

I have never seen anyone support these losers once they learn about their weird shady views, yet somehow they have more reach than anyone else on the Marxist left. Plus they get invited to weird formal shit that implies they enjoy a good degree of institutional backing for some reason.

The CIA is losing its way.

Hinkle being interviewed by CCTV was a definite what-the-hell china please consult hexbear before interviewing patsocs

He's been on CGTN more than once. It's embarrasing.

Ah that's the one, cgtn is the cctv international channel so i was searching the wrong keywords

reminder that twitter is not real life.

communists have, as small as it seems at times, a stronger presence in the labor movement than these swine. The main body of their handful of "official" members are dumbass know-it-all streamers and dumbass know-it-all students

I'd hope they would have picked a less idiotic front person. Amazed they are even using the word communist

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jackson_Hinkle

Jackson Hinkle (born September 1999) is an American political commentator and influencer[7] who hosts the web television show The Dive with Jackson Hinkle on Rumble. He is known for his support of Vladimir Putin in the Russo-Ukrainian War,[8][9][10][11] and for his opposition to Israel in the Gaza–Israel conflict.[8][9][12][13] Dubbing himself an "American Conservative Marxist–Leninist",[14] commentators and journalists have variably described Hinkle as far-right,[13][15] right-wing,[10][16] and conservative.[17][18] Promoting a syncretic mix of conservative and communist ideas, he is a self-described proponent of "MAGA communism", calling on those who support the working class to ally with the MAGA movement against an alleged globalist threat.[19][20] Initially an environmentalist during his high school years,[21] Hinkle has turned to promoting pro-fossil fuels stances in recent years.[14

I too, love to grab my fellow black-ops buddy's gun instead of holding one myself

[–] [email protected] 30 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Gomulists cant afford guns so they wait until their comrades die and pick up their guns then continue the human wave

Yeah, they made us watch Enemy at the Gates in high school too

I just thought it made the Soviets look cooler

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I just thought it made the Soviets look cooler

I don't see how. It makes them look disorganized, unprepared, and callous. They were desperate, yes, and some units and civilians were indeed unprepared and took extreme measures to ensure combat compliance, but they were not mindlessly throwing people at the enemy as a tactic.

Tbf I think if I had watched that movie at school age my brain would have also been like" wow cool, just like the Warhammer commisars!"

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

USA is practicing two kind of capitalist degrowth, deindustrialisation of economy and burning up the planet to crisp, opposing both is anti-american.

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

Some of these things are not like the others.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 1 month ago

At least he kind of gives away the game with the "no anti-Americanism" stuff.

[–] [email protected] 25 points 1 month ago

I love playing with my toys and making up epic action movies in my head! Sometimes I stretch out my arms and got "BRRRRRRRRR" while I think about epically owning the wokies as an F35!!

the move to spamming Death Stranding ghost soldiers is so deliberately just playing a heel character these guys are like the pro wrestler who pretends to be a necromancer

Don't let this person distract you from the fact that in 1998, The Undertaker threw Mankind off Hell In A Cell, and plummeted 16 ft through an announcer's table.

This sort of guy lost me at trying to make an american values-friendly form of socialism, when my whole thing is that i hate american values

There isn't a locker big enough to shove this nerd in to.

I assume they didn't go with the Worker's Party hamner-sickle-paintbrush because thry couldn't find one artist who didn't break down laughing at the GPU Gacha rolling another "Hands? What are those?" gutterball.
