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

Vibes based politics, history is not the antagonism of classes, it's the antagonism of good personality traits obviously, that's why really nice people like Napoleon did so well

They should’ve accepted Hitler into art school and this whole mess could’ve been avoided

We all know that artists can never be racist. Salvador Dali fought so much fascism they had to kick him out of th surrealists because he was too busy fashing the fash.

Definitely how that played out.

"nerd the left-wing authoritarian personality construct" lmao shut the fuck up weirdo, who unironically believes this shit?

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

People who think material conditions are irrelevant and that history is shaped by the Myers-Briggs category of the Great Man in question.

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

People who need to come up with a reason for why believing in and standing for nothing is actually better than having principles and trying to improve the world.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 9 points 1 year ago

There are alot of psychology-major and docorate soc-dems who absolutely believe this, as it gives them an academic reason for their passive compliance with a system rife with inherent violence to distract from the fact they inherently profit from it because the more trauma there is, the more there is a need for their services.

I've literally heard it said irl, this chuckle-fuck isn't smart enough to create this argument, he's aping it from people who actually went to school.

At least chuds are entertaining in how unhinged and off the wall their takes are. There’s a ton of mental gymnastics needed to explain how bike lanes are a Marxist plot to destroy white Christian culture but gymnastics have spectacle. Centrists are pure annoyance because they’re the pure embodiment of unearned patronizing.

Naked, taking down to everyone with their eyes closed, dick flagging in the cold wind

[–] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

This is literally just god complex with a bunch of political mumble jumble thrown in to look smart. Wow, a narcissistic, arrogant asshole got people to drink kool aid and fuck their wives? This is classic leftist authoritarian personality complex

centrists are more annoying than chuds, liberals are more annoying than centrists, socdems are more annoying than liberals

expectations are higher the closer you get to humanity. it's why the weyland-yutani corporation is more hateable than the xenomorphs

not narcissism = hoarding wealth like a dragon

narcissism = giving food to hungry people, giving housing to the homeless

Is it really "old left history" when socdems & libs keep repeating the same BS? Like everything that lenin wrote is still true, even "the economist" is still there.

[–] viva_la_juche@hexbear.net 27 points 1 year ago

Sdl talking about narcissism farquaad-point

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago

"Personalty constructs" stfu and get in the locker, nerd marx-guns-blazing

The modern day Phrenologist instead of skull shape to measure intelligence they use personality

Dark triad more like tri-and read some theory, amirite?

[–] Adkml@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago

Yea were the narcissts not the people convinced they're better than everybody else because they believe in nothing except triangulation.

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

That's a social fascist

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

Evolutionary psychology is bullshit.

Only fascists try to make political alignment about genetics and biology. This person is a nazi.

source: I pulled it out of my ass. I fingered my ass until it began to leak, and then I scrawled my "findings" on a page and published them. Here. On Twitter.

[–] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

He came up with pseudo-psychological categories to pathologize the people online that anger him, when he could have just given food or money to a homeless person instead smh.

[–] amphibian@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

LOL, MLism and Marxist principles are entirely about destroying individualism and helping the prosperity of the community before anything else. Clearly this is comparable to wanting to genocide "inferior races" for the future of the white man or whatever

[–] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Projection much, SDL (Socialism Done Left)?

Dirt_Owl, I don't think this guy's even a centrist... just a pathetic social chauvinist 'Marxist' that can't even Ultra-left right....

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago

Maybe. When I see "Both side bad" I tend to default to assuming centrism

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

"The leftist brainpan is predisposed to narcissism"
