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

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.

Every one of these commenters should be packed onto a sandbar and fed a barely insufficient diet leading to excruciatingly slow starvation

"win this" it's 7000 people coming seeking a better life we could win by just incorporating them into European society

honestly I don't get how migration isn't anything but positive

I don't understand why people want to come here. If you're an immigrant from Africa and come to the UK you will end up working in an Amazon warehouse full of people none of whom speak English or even the same language as each other in an environment more hostile than some prisons. With a boss who only communicates by shouting at you. Also they have absolutely no idea how employment law works

How bad could their home countries be that this is a preferable life

The West destroys their homes and then accepts their indentured servitude, complaining the entire time.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I can understand why, its really bad in many countries that we destroyed. I just don't understand the strange nationalism some get for their oppressors.

yeah people that like you for being British are far harder to deal with than people that hate you for it. At least the latter is understandable

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Westerners can easily stop refugees by treating global south countries as partners and helping them develop and making their homes more desirable to live in. But of course, the first instinct is to become Hitler. But these are Europeans were talking about, so they have higher Hitler particles than other white people

Having those "maybe trotsky was right about invading everyone nearby" moments

Younger Trotsky often wasn’t wrong about things so much as that he was horribly fucking annoying and so people didn’t want to work with him.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (1 children)

The menshevik shit was cringe, his hatred of peasants, and then he just started to fuck people over hard after the revolution

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 year ago

Trotsky was the living embodiment of that "Moe throwing Barney out" meme, where he was the liberalism that stayed in the bar after liberalism was thrown out.

I know the rugby subreddit pretty much hates r/Europe because they tried to brigade the rugby subreddit with racist hitlerite bullshit during the world cup.

I have a dumb guy question:

What did the ussr do about immigration?

If you got this place everyone is trying to get into because they can, why not give em homes and jobs and build out all those eco socialist projects that want for manpower?

Maybe it’s just too hot in here and my brain isn’t working right…

Don't rescue sinking ships. Let those people die. Those who arrive should go to detention centers "either you go back home, or you go to prison in the poorest EU country, where they don't speak any of popular languages so good luck, for illegal border crossing, unless you can prove to me within one hour that you're a legitimate asylum seeker". Sure, this will suck for them, but once the message is sent, people will stop coming.

It's like gypsies. Some of them simply refuse to be a part of a normal society, and offering them help only exacerbates the problem because they learn that by being sufficiently annoying, they will get free food and housing

xi-plz
