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

DPRK which is a self contained country not engaging in apartheid actually equals a genocidal ethnostate engaging in apartheid
jesus fucking christ
Post-imperialism is a cancer on the American "left". A lot of people seem to think everyone is in the same capitalist stage as the imperial core (no lol) and therefore we are just exporting liberal "democracy" and thus opposition to the west is just anti-liberalism. Boiling everything down to anti-liberalism is a way to sustain a mandate of the advanced countries. So long as the West isn't imploding into total reactionary chaos and the non-western world isn't 100% anarcho-communist, American libs and socdems think the advanced countries get to dictate world capitalism under globalization and especially under the crisis of globalization as people reject it for various reasons (progressive or reactionary)
This trend exploded in the 2010s as unipolar hegemony just crumbles :xigma-male:
That's a nice term for it, same as 'post-left' just meaning someone that's convinced themselves that we've already moved past the contradictions of our society, so there's no need for leftist politics and now it's fine to say slurs.
Illustrative of his ideology that he thinks Israel's behavior is aberrant and undesired by the US.
Who forcefully created both of these states, salamander?
kim il sung created north korea when he INVADED south korea, a nation that always existed independent of North Korea. The 1940s never happened. :very-intelligent:
People's Republic of Korea? What's that?!
So... if these committees represented the will of the people of Korea at the time, and it was suppressed from outside in the south, and the Soviets instead integrated these committees into a new government. That means the DPRK is actually, seriously the legitimate government of the entire Korean peninsula.
This'll be fun to point out the next time I get into an argument about North Korea. But it's also absolutely infuriating. Death to America.
That means the DPRK is actually, seriously the legitimate government of the entire Korean peninsula.
They are, people tend to look only at Kim Il-sung and think that the Soviets only built the government with Kim and his comardes. When in reality the DPRK government was composed of members of the Provisional Government of the Republic of Korea.
I actually never liked their art style.
i draw like shit so i have no room to talk. i'm here to criticize their ideas :edgeworth-shrug:
The art style makes me gag for reasons
I've always liked it. It's expressive enough for political cartooning and RBS has a pretty distinctive style that makes them stand out enough to be recognizable.
reminds me of old-school furry porn. that real usenet shit
It's because he adds too many ruffles, creases, crevices, etc. to a fairly plain art style and colour palette. It ends up clashing as well as making everything look kinda' dirty.
Look at the DPRK dog vs. the fairly OK-looking PRC Panda.
It's like a shitty copy of the style of Marmaduke with terrible punchlines
The only good one they made of the liberal sitting on a throne of oppression saying "there's no ethical consumption under capitalism" while they choose to be more unethical.
Maybe they missed the message as they lack self awareness
seriously, this guy's shit
