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

Every panel confused me.

You don't want to give weapons to fascists while also giving billions to the arms industry?

That means you're like a conservative, since they don't want to do that either for entirely different reasons

So you're actually a Nazi

Because you're like a conservative, and they're like Nazis, and totally different from us liberals

kbin was one of those radlib hives like beehaw that was all about tankie hysteria, wasn't it?

Also jesus what a pathetic shop on the Republican logo, which should be extremely easy to get proper transparency on. We can see what their priority is.

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 28 points 2 years ago

all the reddit brains who were very concerned that lemmy devs are communist ended up on kbin lmao

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 34 points 2 years ago

Was this made in the last few months? I thought libs had already pretended this didn't matter anymore?

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago

Finding out that Lemmy users are older than the average user of every major social media site explains so much.

Every day I hope that Lenin gets up from his tomb and does October Revolution 2. lenin-crush-capitalism

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

please, lenin, my people yearn for freedom

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

This was made by a child or a fed that's really shit at their job and knows it deep down.

Anyway the inevitable outcome of turning everyone's brain into soup for fear of communists is that people with brains that are literally soup will end up running every single aspect of that dogshit country. I'm sure this will have no negative consequences though.

Tbf, there was a fair amount of user here who were proposing we ally with PatSoc types cuz of our shared anti-war stance shrug-outta-hecks

Hey everyone remember PatSocs? Lol that became a real nothingburger.

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 23 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Okay it was like maybe 3 or 4 people but tbf they were VERY aggressive posters.

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I think that whole 'movement' was 3-4 aggressive posters.

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If I recall they managed to talk a few people into agree with them, if half assedly. They were here and they rose a stink, that can't be denied. They've all gone quiet now cuz PatSocs turned out to be a pathetic LaRousite Op that died before it became anything.

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I've always been fascinated by LaRouche. Not in an positive way, I just think the movement was interesting.

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago (1 children)

It's frankly a bizarre group that Im personally convinced is an Op, like I suspect the number of actual genuine LaRoushites is tiny, most of their leadership are probably Feds.

[–] sir_this_is_a_wendys@hexbear.net 13 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They are mainly a cult that uses cult tactics.

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah but I'm still pretty sure their leadership is all Fed. There's even evidence that LaRouche himself was a fed, his bodyguard and close confidant was confirmed an FBI informant.

I don't doubt it. Intelligence agencies are masterful at utilizing weirdos like that.

Had a good laugh at the guy claiming Poland alone could march through Moscow. The absolute delusion of these people is unbelievable.

Tiny dog syndrome

Liberals have nothing between their ears

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

Whenever I see pictures like this I assume they were posted by a 15-year-old.

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

Online leftists “defending” (70% of the time it’s simply explaining the war from a materialist standpoint) have 0 material effect on the war

Online republicans defending the war have 0 material effect in the war because the military, intelligence, and legal apparatus of the US government will continue supporting Ukraine regardless of anyone’s opinions. They will only falter when it starts affecting their other agendas e.g. Israel. But that’s because Biden is a Zionist and not a slavaboo

[–] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

The only thing more cringe than everyone here calling a white fish burger on white bread with mayo a little fashy is libs calling everyone here a fascist.

The user admin of "Ukraine" has a very strange profile, is this because of kbin to lemmy not showing posts?

User constantly pushing bizarre (and often incorrect) American prop

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 8 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Pugjesus is a menace, see his posts a lot lol. Never seen such profound brainrot

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

He admins "Ukraine" and "HistoryMemes" but somehow (intentionally) uses the wrong flags for different nations. It's on purpose, because he's pushing stupid american prop lol

[–] Zuberi@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 2 years ago

For those of you wondering what the original "logic" was

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

This is about the level of analysis I would expect from lemmy.world, yeah.
