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

Winning is when you underestimate the Japanese because you are racist and get your shit kicked in.

Winning is when you get stuck fighting a war in two fronts, and you lose to fucking Austria-Hungary and the late Ottoman Empire

Poland would be even angrier and somehow even more fascist if their territory was still property of a Russian monarchy.

:rage-cry: no! he was assassinated by traitors!!

truly monarchists are on one of the most high grade copiums imaginable :data-laughing:

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

So crazy that getting killed by the opposition is a point in your favor.

It made me think of the Simpsons bit with Milhouse's dad bragging about sleeping in a racecar bed.

also i wonder what the Polish monarchists think about Russian revanchism? has it occurred to the empire perverts that some of their aspirational empires overlap?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

what the Polish monarchists think about Russian revanchism

big assumption to say monarchists might think

Created the Duma

Only after the Russian Revolution of 1905, and he dissolved it

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

If you're a monarchist you'd think the Duma was bullshit anyways and justifiably deprived of any real power lmao.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

Well they're willingly monarchists in the year 2022, of course they have contradictions like

The duma was cool and based

Only one person should control everything

owning a fancy car = you hate the poors

owning multiple mansions, palaces, generational fortune, having millions to even "donate" = lover of the poors

doubt Lenin actually had a car, probably just the vehicle they used to transport government officials lol.

edit: Look at this thing. Epic. https://unravellingtravel.com/lenins-rolls-royce-silver-ghost/

That first link is infuriating.

He then began to enjoy the good life just like the Tsars as illustrated by this photo taken at the May Day Red Army Parade in Moscow 1918!

Dude was a well documented workaholic to the detriment of his own health because of his commitment to the Revolution, but yeah this one photo of him being driven in a May Day parade proves that he just wanted to take toys from rich people and live it up.

Two links to solid liberalism :LIB:

the Soviet government passed one of its first acts ever, with the decree of 3 May 1918 that expropriated about 2,500 cars from the bourgeois members of society.

To give an historical perspective, this predates the October Revolution by about six months

lol

They seem to think socialism is a poverty cult

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

They only think about socialism in bad faith so its not so much about their honest belief about what socialism is/should be, but that if they believe X they can strawman and slander socialist leaders like Lenin as hypocritical and grifters.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

If you're poor, socialism doesn't work because it makes you poor! If you're rich, you're a phony champagne socialist who's betrayed the people!

“Dynasty lasted over 300 years”

Oh word?

I wonder who ended it and under who? :thinkin-lenin:

fascists love to back the losers after they lose. resentment over losing is their main psychological motivation.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 years ago

resentment over the expectation of loss, as depicted by lionized stories of noble loss.

fascists love to back the losers after they lose.

Hahaha. glances despondently at the rotting corpse of the USSR while shedding a single tear That's totally just a fascist thing.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

yeah, this is also the world in which communism lost. and i think the lesson for the as-yet-unformed real movement is that we cannot unburn the ashes of the old world, only build the new one.

For what it's worth, I think the fetishism of dead communisms is more of a detriment than a benefit to today's left.
