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

Pretty solid tagline potential:

Lemmy wouldn't be as bad if it weren't for the constant brigading of the hexbears and their ilk. You literally can't get away from them. Ban their channel, the users still show up everywhere and spout nonsense.

Yeah their is no balance or consideration of ideas- it s full alt-left all the time everywhere.

I love the term "alt-left" because it's a helpful indicator that the person doesn't know what the fuck they're talking about and they're just mindlessly echoing words used against them. You can't have an alt-left if there's no mainstream left for there to be an alternate to.

These chuds think that Hillary Clinton is the mainstream left

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

what, specifically, are the ideas are we supposed to consider?

what ideas, motherfucker? big-honk

[–] PKMKII@hexbear.net 37 points 2 years ago (2 children)

I remember a comment on here a few months back predicting that at least half the Reddit protesters fleeing for Lemmy after the API debacle would back before Christmas. Whoever that was, you called it.

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

yeah, looking at the monthly active users that seems to track

[–] sharkfucker420@hexbear.net 2 points 2 years ago

Happy to not be part of that half lol

[–] MF_COOM@hexbear.net 35 points 2 years ago (3 children)

they make a nonsensical claim. You respond with evidence and citation. The miracle happens and the other side is convinced. Do you know what happens next? The mods delete the discussion, to ensure that no one sees the opposing opinion

Something that definitely happened. I bet everyone clapped after he supplied his well- cited argument

[–] AntiOutsideAktion@hexbear.net 26 points 2 years ago

The citation was the wikipedia article on the subject

To everyone's surprise, they didn't post evidence of this happening.

... does this person live in the same universe as I do? I had a comment deleted from .world for calling out someone for being racist, but the racist comment is still up.

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago

When people call US party politics "polarized", they are obfuscation things because there is a way in which it is very false and one in which it is very true. The parties are not radicalized in opposite directions [i.e. having contrary radical views], the Dems are just Diet Republicans. They are, however, highly dogmatic [i.e. intolerant of contradiction].

.world is not radical compared to any Republican space, but it is certainly dogmatic in its "moderate" views being enforced.

yeah, i literally got banned from a news comm on lemmy.world on my alt for calling someone out for doing overt nazi apologia around the time that that SS member got a standing ovation in canadian parliament

[–] TheCaconym@hexbear.net 32 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (1 children)

Funnily enough, they were banned in the past from world for "pro-kremlin views"

That ban's three months old though, so I'm betting it happened to them again with an alt recently

They're basically a freeze-peach CHUD / libertarian I think

[–] Goferking0@ttrpg.network 18 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Ah so they got mad lemmy didn't have their r/con safespace?

[–] GarbageShoot@hexbear.net 18 points 2 years ago

This guy is a huge loser, but it looks like this was over him making fun of russiagate theories

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (1 children)

And even if you try to get out of politics, no use. Even memes are all about politics.

This brings me joy.

And even if you try to get out of politics, no use. Even memes are all about politics.

The only acceptable politics are the ones the Enlightened Centrists don't notice being political because it's just the water in the bubble world they swim in.

The kind of people I tell my kids to stay away from so that they don't learn that doing drugs is "cool"

Doing drugs is cool though...

There is little point in trying to talk to someone who doesn’t understand life is more grey area than full black/while binary choices.

100% this person, if you said "you know communism is not all bad...." they'd cut you off and explain how it killed 70 gajillion people and 30 elephants

[–] Tommasi@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

The end part where he fantasizes about denying lemmy users a job interview chefs-kiss

Just the pettiest power fantasy imaginable about getting back at the mean internet people.
