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

Folks? The protesters are NOT HOT. More and more people are saying it!

[–] SpiderFarmer@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

Damn, they're certainly not at the protests I'm at. Respectfully.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 44 points 1 year ago

Twitter was a mistake...

Fuck this. All power to those protestors and to people that block roads and spread awareness!

boomers had lead poisoning, millennials have irony poisoning

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

That’s not irony. These people are chilling in lofts in the big city, eating brunch, socializing at some club or party while getting paid by Peter Thiel and a bunch of simps. These are their unfiltered opinions.

[–] MaxOS@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

It’s so weird that Red Scare was considered a leftist podcast

Hey, they didn't completely get rid of leaded gasoline until the 90's (and even now small engine propeller airplanes use leaded gasoline as AvGas), so we've got lead poisoning too!

Weird that of the people Adam Friedland has history with the one who does racist impersonations and almost says slurs as a bit is like the least problematic one

I wanna see a version of the American revolution but loyalists calling the revolutionaries libtards and stuff. That would be so funny.

[–] GaveUp@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

I can't believe Dasha of all people are saying this...

This guy looks exactly like her type (skinny white boi)

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago

At least that skinny white boi is doing something!

[–] odmroz@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Dasha is so unbelievably depressing. You can see that the judgement she inflicts on everyone else she also inflicts on herself. So much of what I see from her is just a "I'm not unattractive, right? I'm attractive, so I'm a worthy person. God, if I were unattractive, I would hate myself. I'm not unattractive, right?" Over and over again in perpetuity, no room for anything else. Her whole twitter is like this, she's fixated.

The Thiel bucks rot your brain like lead poisoning.

I met my wife at a protest. She thought I looked pretty fucking cool.

Woman obsessed with aesthetics continues to be so.

What a weird criticism. There’s plenty of attractive people with it being a college campus in nyc lol

Nothing but the best from Dasha nekrasova

Oh no! The students, they don't look attractive eviscerated

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I mean, they sort of are in that protests are about being perceived.

[–] KobaCumTribute@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago (2 children)

protests are about being perceived.

Protests are a material display of force and organization. It is saying "so and so many people are willing to show up and risk life and limb for a cause, despite the certainty of brutal repression by state security forces," with the implication that further escalation can happen if their demands aren't met.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes, you are literally being perceived to have power and organisation.

???

If there's a media blackout on your protest, no tik tok, no Facebook, no cnn, your protest is going to be smaller and potentially less effective.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Again, blame the media.

It's not our fault.

People are literally getting beaten up by fascists and possibly killed.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago (2 children)

And? I'm not arguing that the protests are "invalid ", nor that their cause isn't just, nor that people aren't getting merced or beaten up.

I'm arguing against autism dragons opening title statement that protests are not about being seen.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 13 points 1 year ago (4 children)

They are being seen, increasingly. It's working.

that is not their argument, they are mocking this person for not appreciating the vibes of the anti genocide protests, and thinking that's a reasonable criticism. This protest isn't fashionable enough, thats the thing, not that the person acknowledged that people see protests

No. Stop.

The protests are fucking valid and I don't care how they're "perceived."

If we can't at least protest and look ugly doing so, then fuck this country and fuck the comrades that turn against us because of "optics."

Protestors have been fighting the police and making things hell for the Zionists and inconvenient too.

Protests are also a gateway to more radical action, like road blockages, armed protest, and stopping arms shipments, not to mention good for recruitment.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago (1 children)

OK, if protests weren't perceived they would be ineffective. I do not see how this could possibly be controversial. And a way to get perceived is by blocking roads, ports, taking up space in (in this case) Zionist institutions.

Being perceived and trying to be doesn't necessarily mean leaning into liberal politeness politics. It can mean shitting on a confederate statue.

But it is still Aesthetics and making choices about it.

The vast majority of protesters were people who saw the initial protests on Facebook or tik tok or whatever.

Again, I literally do not understand how any of this could be argued.

[–] Pluto@hexbear.net 6 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Don't blame them, blame the media.

That's how it could be argued.

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago (29 children)

I'm not, I'm just saying protests areabout being seen. An invisible protest is pointless.

What do you think I'm arguing?

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I agree, the moods all wrong, there aren't nearly enough molotovs and property damage at these protests.

Even the modern day Fr*nch protests are more a e s t h e t i c, and they haven't guillotined anyone in years!
