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

THEY LITERALLY FOUGHT A FUCKING WAR AGAINST EACH OTHER. THEY WERE NEVER ALLIES AND IN FACT HATED EACH OTHER THE ENTIRE TIME. THE SOVIETS DEFEATED THE NAZIS AND EXECUTED A WHOLE BUNCH OF THE GENOCIDAL FUCKS AFTER THE WAR ENDED. OPEN A FUCKING BOOK.

The fash are out there re-writing the books right now. "But my molotov ribbentrop!" Like the cccp wasn't the last power in Europe to sign a treaty with the Nazis after every country in Europe froze them out. The Soviets spent most of the 30s trying to build a coalition to invade and destroy Hitler before he could re-arm and all of Europe told them to go fuck themselves bc they thought the Nazis would go east and solve their communism problem.

this level of political analysis is something I would consider immature if it came from the mouth of an eleven year old, let alone a grown adult

new site tagline please

[–] SoyViking@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

To many westerners nazis and communists are simply interchangeable movie villains who stands for nothing other than senseless cartoonish evil. They're as real as orcs or Darth Vader to them.

I like Nazis getting fucked by communists, but this is not what I meant by that at all...

This makes me as mad as human rights make them mad.

[–] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

nomygod GUYS fucking hamas is like NAZIS and COMMIES on CRACK

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago (2 children)

All politics is sexual pathology.

Really though i cannot imagine what was happening in the brain of the person who made this. Maybe something about that Grand Mufti bs and, idk, the Soviets removing support from Israel when they realized it was fascist trash? That's the best i can do.

New World Order + Great Replacement Theory = Jewtankieorcs flooding the zone with brown babies

I stopped trying to make it make sense after seeing this airport book.

It made it to #1 on the NYT bestseller list.

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

To be fair, anyone with enough money can make it to #1 on the NYT bestseller list.

On the face of it, ‘liberal fascism’ could just mean the US policy during the Cold War.

But from the blurb on the bottom I assume it is just rehashing that Mussolini was in a Socialist party when he was younger and using a load of brain dead libertarian talking points.

[–] davel@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Yeah it’s just brainworms.

In contrast to the mainstream view among historians and political scientists that fascism is a far-right ideology, Goldberg argues in the book that fascist movements were and are left-wing.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I am once again asking what the background of the phrase "All politics is sexual pathology" is, I don't think it was ever explained to me the last time I asked, and I don't like being out of the loop

[–] davel@hexbear.net 14 points 1 year ago

I just assume it’s some mid-century Continental compatible left philosophical wankery.

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

I think it was a Chapo bit back in 2020 and it stuck. It's been used a lot since then and I can't remember the original source exactly, but it's just a phrase you use when someone says something political while also being horny.

The phrase is used to mock Reddit/Twitter style politics fans who obsess over politicians for aesthetic reasons that usually come down to sexualizing them or obsessing over sexual aspects of their politics (See: Ben Garrison's Sexy Trump cartoons for a good example)

The idea is a bit of a dirt bag left joke when used in a mocking/sarcastic context, but it is somewhat based on feminist theory, that because we live in a patriarchy, the taboo of sex means it has to be constantly thought about to maintain the system. Like how capitalism requires constant work from workers or it collapses.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 5 points 1 year ago

I see. Great thing that I've never said something horny but also political!

Go straight to wall. Do not pass the labor camp, do not collect reeducation credits.

If i were brainwordmed radlib, it would be israel in that picture cause nazis liked idea of israel, and ussr briefly supported it for 3-4 years after the war

[–] davel@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

It came from Judeo-Bolshevism and Cultural Bolshevism which begat Cultural Marxism and Great Replacement. I guess the Russian orcs are the fascists now because fuck it nothing means anything.

[–] Jenniferrr@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago

Fascists will fabricate reality in its entirety if given the opportunity.
