Yeah, I can see presidential assassinations becoming the preferred outlet for misanthropic rage for those who don’t like the sound of children screaming.
Oh hey I’m back and there’s been a split in the Dunk Tank because of a rule I don’t even remember making. God I love the internet.
Yeah that makes sense. Dunks for the best, Dredge for the rest.
Does it affect the order comments get presented to us?
(But obviously don’t delete this thread, because it’s popping off)
The_Dunk_Tank is not The_Shitpost_Tank. Take it to /c/main, /c/chat, or /c/chapotraphouse instead.
Can people logged into other instances downvote our comments on other instances?

"Full and Conscious Subjection": Inside a Maoist cult in america
(maoistcultexposed.wordpress.com)
An aborted proletarian revolution as a key national myth will do the trick.
Our position hasn’t shifted that much from the pod’s position.
The pod has a semi-ironic veneration of China, per the Wolf Warrior episode. It hates the entire US establishment. It wants Iran to get a nuke. Much of its stance is based on opposing what the most awful people in Amerikkka support.
That’s not to say we follow the pod’s marching orders. Rather, we get to the same place for much the same reasons.
The Ukrainian issue is probably the best example of this. No one here’s super pro Putin or his brand of Russian nationalism. When the war started, we were deep into ‘lol there’s not gonna be a war’. We had to eat humble pie, hard.
You know what changed?
Ukrainian flag emojis.
The worst people in the world, with the absolute worst takes, went hard on the Ukraine side.
Was the war a bad idea? Quite possibly. It’ll likely settle into a frozen conflict again, much like it was before, with similar territory, at the cost of a lot of lives.
But seeing people go around, pretending there wasn’t Ukrainian shelling of the Donbas? Pretending Putin hadn’t been pushing for Minsk II to be implemented as agreed? Saying that Putin wants to wage a genocide against Ukraine? Seeing everyone bend over backwards to apologise for literal neo-Nazis?
Fuck that.
Look we just want high wages, strong regulation, and redistribution of wealth, but without any of the levers of power necessary to achieve it. Is that so much to ask?
What do we even call users of this site? Hexberries?
Not actually posting in /c/vegan because they aren’t a huge fan of roast beef.
