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

Lots of coping and seething in there

Is anything more desperate than using a symbol of late stage capitalism to say they don't care about theory?

This bit's just sad ngl, like ziq's just willingly resigned to having literally no human connection except arguments online and people who comment on their posts. Like, seeing a comment saying you should try to be more of a likeable person and immediately assuming that the writer is trying to force you to become a Stalinist is just depressing. Like, from what little I know of ziq tangentially through this site, didn't ziq use to have at least online friends and treated them like complete shit?

Ziq saw what I wrote! Hi Ziq! We know you're lurking here!

[–] [email protected] 1 points 9 months ago

I don't think ziq ever had friends, even the people on Raddle can't stand being around them.

[–] [email protected] 23 points 9 months ago

I'll be honest. I had no idea Raddle had enough people on it to even get noticed.

What makes me sad that a person with the technical knowhow and funds wasted it on creating an echo chamber for themselves.

I want my own server, it's not fair!

It actually used be a good site pre-lemmy when tankies were half the population and the anarchists had to coexist with us. Now I have to pretend to be one of them to avoid the banhammer.

It's likely no one born after 1990 even knows who Poochie is, so I guess it'll work.

Well the only reason I know who Poochie is (born mid-90s) is because I was a Simpsons fanatic as a kid. The episodes I saw on TV in the early 2000s were mostly reruns, so I took to collecting DVDs of all the seasons I could get. I think I had it complete up to season 9 or 10 at one point.

complete up to season 9 me too. that's the best place to stop

Zoomer libs please stop regurgitating video essay lines about the simpsons getting bad at a specific point, it is not a substitute for meaningful dialogue

Dialectics is when I'm right and you're wrong, and I'm a real leftist and you're not

is this the guy who wants to abolish industrial society?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 months ago

Claims to just be "critiquing" industrial society while writing 6000 word screeds about how much better monke life is.
