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

2003 : support the invasion and occupation of Iraq, destabilizing the middle east and creating millions of refugees.

2011 : support the annihilation of Libya, destabilizing North Africa and creating millions of refugees.

2013: support the intervention in Syria , funding and training extremists and creating millions more refugees.

2014 - 2022: support coups, bombing campaigns and military actions throughout North Africa, creating millions more refugees.

2023: "Wow, where are all these refugees coming from? We need to put them in camps!"

Also: decades of deliberately covering up greenhouse gas effects on climate, thereby increasing the rate and damage of natural disasters, causing millions of refugees (soon to be billions) agony-mescaline

And i can bet my left nut that 99% of these refugees support Russia.

[–] [email protected] 69 points 1 year ago

Could it be that there are legitimate reasons people in the global south might support Russia?

No, it's the shape of the North African brain pan that's wrong.

Fuckers have so many brainworms they should be a mind flayer by now.

Nazis / average reddit libs are so incredibly dense. Europe already does let refugees drown en masse, puts the survivors in camps and immediately deports a large number of them. If you're too racist to bear that people from the Global South come to your doorstep, maybe stop bombing and overexploiting their home countires and stop making equatorial regions uninhabitable through climate change.

I'm surprised they don't seem to have an "open borders" fake news cycle yet. Ours in the US has been going for as long as I've been paying attention

[–] [email protected] 42 points 1 year ago (3 children)

you underestimate just how ethno-centric and downright racist Europeans are. Also we did have it for few years around 2016, but now even socdems and libs are doubling down on stopping immigration.

[–] [email protected] 32 points 1 year ago

Doesn't stop euronazis from claiming everybody to the left of Heinrich Himmler supports open borders. It's the same as in the US, libs cave in to far right pressure thinking it will secure them "centrist" votes and get nothing in return.

There was one in the mid-2010s with all the Syrian refugees and you still see r*dditors talk about ”bearded children”.

These same people will claim unironically that Europe must be preserved because it's a bastion of human rights and that "those people don't place value on human life, unlike us"

[–] [email protected] 59 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's pretty easy to square that circle if you don't consider the migrants human beings.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 year ago (1 children)

White supremacy is the black hole at the center of liberal thought: not directly observable (they won't explicitly say it), but its presence is betrayed by how all their other ideas orbit around it.

I have to ask... Why? Why haven't you all given up on Reddit, and especially those who talk about politics on Reddit? Now the only ones talking about politics on Reddit are the Nazis who don't give a shit about Reddit's abusive business model. Political Reddit is now practically 4chan

It's not so much that anyone wants to be there but that it's a theater of operations that you can not ignore when waging a political battle.

I think it's fun to make very socialist comments in subs that are very much not socialist, but like not use any socialist words, and then get a lot of upvotes from people who would call me a tankie in a heartbeat if they realized. I don't think I'm changing anyone's mind btw, I don't think I'm doing anything important, I just think it's funny to write one of those a couple times a month lmao.

I also just need some outlet to disagree with libs on the internet, as lots of sorta-libs-who-don't-follow-politics surround me irl, and I don't want to be that guy to them, as they are my friends. It's also just fun to practice arguments at random people, so you can see what works, and what doesn't without any real consequence. There are people I actually want to convince in real life, might as well prototype my arguments when I can.

Also it's entertaining to yell at fascists. Like yeah, I should touch grass, but Redditors being mean to me doesn't really bother me, so it's not like I'm losing anything doing it. It is nice however to have this place, where I can go to relax a bit, if I don't feel like having /r/europe people in my replies.

I gave up on reddit like 4 years ago when chapo got banned. I just lurk around there nowadays and participate in some niche communities that are not political.

[–] [email protected] 70 points 1 year ago (3 children)

There was a racist who suggested "an Austrian man's dark arts" as a solution. Just the casual hitlering going on is so bad.

They think they're so clever when they say stuff like this too. They actually think they're fooling people with this stuff, even though it isn't a dogwhistle, it's screaming through a megaphone.

Reminds me a bit of this thread from /r/HistoryMemes

Europeans talking about American Racial Tensions (MLK) vs Europeans talking about Romani people (Hitler)

comments proceed to prove the post 100% correct

It's amazing how their racist arguments about Romani people are basically exactly the same as American racist arguments about black people, but they can't see the connection.

Literally Hitler hitler-detector

[–] [email protected] 54 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

That whole thread is ridiculous. Almost every comment is the most racist mask-off shit advocating for the death for foreigners in one way or another. Some are even explicitly saying they don't care that they're taking neonazi positions.

[–] [email protected] 52 points 1 year ago (2 children)

how do these people get so personally pressed about such a proportionally tiny amount of people? literally less than 5 in 100 persons is a migrant in the EU, and that counts non-EU white people. i'm convinced most of these nazis probably haven't actually spoken to an immigrant. this current italian "crisis" drama is over 100,000 people. in a fucking country of 60 million, with a gdp of 3 trillion you're going to tell me y'all can't afford feeding & housing 100k?

As my friend Aimé Césaire once said: Europe is indefensible. Racism, orientalism and imperialism are the default position of many europeans, when "they" are "threatened" by people who flee their countries thanks to the absolute economic starvation THEY (The europeans) have produced, they turn around and sieg heil at the nearest swastika. Instead of turning into straight up nazis (And it is poles who are unironically doing it, lmfao), question your own authorities and be critical of your own history. If you don't want africans arriving by boat, demand Capitalism to stop starving Africa and to eliminate their dependency on western financial "aid" and capital.

Europe is nothing but a glorified peninsula that has contributed next to nothing to the world, since it's a peninsula starved of natural resources, they took them from other places. Look at it this way: The America's first experience with Europe was fucking Columbus man, a complete brute who found them by accident and then proceeded to do genocide because european moment. Then the europeans pillaged the entire continent, made themselves rich from America's riches and now they try to lecture us on "how to human rights". This is Europe, a thorn in everyone else's asses. Europe delenda est.

When we have the revolution in Australia and they make me head of the Committee of Public Safety I'm putting every single person responsible for this "put them in camps forever" idea into the remains of the Woomera camp and then redesignating the target zone of the nearby rocket range. One death is not enough for the suffering they've caused worldwise

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

My theory is that climate change will eventually make Australia unlivable and Australians will try to flee en masse to New Zealand.

I hope New Zealand treats these Australians with the same compassion and dignity as the Australians treated "the boat people".

So much of it is just fan-casting anyway. None of these assholes have any control over the state of the border. They're just regurgitating the opinions of those that do. If they were based leftist world workers, what would change other than the content of the sub?

None of the "good policy choices" were retrospective about colonialism, or about ceasing modern interventionism. The idea can't even begin to formulate in their pathetic minds.
