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 !shitreactionariessay@lemmygrad.ml

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

I am genuinely confused by hexbear too

Is it a site for queer people or for beanis lovers?

It’s weird that those forums are in English, reading the insane takes and rhetoric....

That's the only language I speak. What other language would I use? Is it really that hard to believe not everyone is a liberal?

...Also saw an account with a trans flag, which is surprising they would accommodate such a person or such a person would have those weird views on lemmygrad.

jesse-wtf

These people are not socialists. It’s all just right wing agitprop. It’s extremely obvious.

Has the right wing started supporting minority rights and an equitable redistribution of wealth while I wasn't looking? I hate libs even more now.

There is no coherent ideology over there besides “America/the West/capitalism should be destroyed.”

Even lemmitors think you should read theory

Or ask them to explain how the holodomor was actually not that bad and the millions of people that died deserved it.

That's not at all what we say, it was a famine. The last famine. Not a holocaust. Stop repeating nazi propaganda, please.

I also learned just now that the collapse of the USSR and and its former constituent countries in the 1990s is an example of how great communism is, because when the communism went away, everything got worse. It’s flawless logic; I can see no counter argument. [new comment, same thread]

Genuinely, explain how capitalism coming in and then everything getting worse shows why communism is bad. Or are they saying things didn't get worse under capitalism? Should I tap the "life expectancy in China" sign yet?

Also lets be real, a whole lot of these people are also chronic weed smokers [new comment, same thread]

jesse-wtf well that was random.

the entire weed comment, didn't include the full thing originally for brevity. But it seems all the more out of place with context.They do genuinely believe it until and unless they are challenged on it in a way they cannot refute and also simultaneously does not anger them.

If it angers them, they all become screaming sarcastic trolls.

If you manage to do it politely they will act as if they have an extremely nuanced opinion and well we basically believe the same thing with minor differences.

In short, they basically have late stage irony poisoning which has legitimately caused many of them to become delusional and extremely aggressive if correctly agitated.

If you are enough of a leftist to know their more grounded ideas and the lingo / meme culture, you can fit in well until you trigger them with a verboten question or idea.

You are correct that many of the psychological traits are basically the same seen in other cults of personality. Self reinforcing bubble.

Also lets be real, a whole lot of these people are also chronic weed smokers. Sure, in moderation that shit is fine, but use it consistently to the point that you need it to cope with reality and … well long term hallucinogen use kind of warps most people’s sense of reality.

Actually second to last famine. The last famine was caused directly by the nazis burning Eastern Europe to the ground.

Thank you for the correction!

kulaks did deserve it though

and for any liberals in the walls "kulak" is not an ethnicity. A kulak was a landowner who decided to burn their crops and kill their animals instead of letting them be collectivised so, fuck em trans-gun

Don't hurl factual statements at me as if they're insults!
