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

How can you be pro-Turkey and pro-Armenia at the same time? I'm not even talking about Armenian genocide but Azerbaijan and Turkey are extremely close allies.

This meme will be relevant for the next 50 years at least.

What’s is the origin of this graph again? I forgot

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

Something from the Chinese internet about how to regard various positions

[–] mamotromico@lemmy.ml 6 points 1 year ago

Ah it was just from general users/citzens, not a particular website/org. For some reason I was remembering as if it was from some kind of news channel. Thanks!

Former fascist (recovering) doubt

you-think-this-is-funny People are dunking on this bit, but you think it's funny?

joker-troll I do, and I'm tired of pretending it's not

[–] frippa@lemmy.ml 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

In the good old days, bait used to be believable...

it got me but yeah, this is clearly bait

[–] Cromalin@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago

lmao, pro israel anti joe biden, recovering former fascist, solidarity with israel donbass and alaska. legitimately incredible bit

[–] DanComrd@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Real fedposting hours. I hope they get plenty of recovery time at their nice office with the other feds

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 21 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Part of me thinks, no fucking way feds would be this eccentric and creative.

Another part of me needs to believe it's fedposting to save my sanity

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

With shit like this I don't think it's "the feds" directly, whoever is running this account doesn't have an office at the J Edgar Hoover building. They probably contract people via some shady private entity that recruits already existing internet trolls to adjust their bits to me more political in nature. This weirdo probably is just some channer who gets Venmoed like 200 a month for this.

Reading that profile is just jesse-wtf

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

Honestly, this makes a lot more sense than people give credit to:

  1. She's a Turkish Israeli, so that explains pro Israel/Turkey and anti Palestine/Kurdistan.

  2. Being pro Russia makes sense since Russia is mostly friendly with Turkey and until recently pretty friendly with Israel. This would also explain being anti Ukraine. She could also just sympathize with people in the Donbass.

  3. Being pro Armenia doesn't make that much sense until you realize people in Turkey don't necessarily hate Armenians on a personal level even as they deny the Armenian Genocide. Also, there's a wide perception that Armenia is a pro-Russia country (it's not especially given the borderline treacherous actions of their Western boot-licking PM).

  4. Being anti Azerbaijan is just her not liking Azerbaijan invading and ethnically cleansing Artsakh. There's a geopolitical dimension to it that doesn't make that much sense (Azerbaijan being a Turkish proxy state), but she could just be someone who supports Turkey on a cultural level rather than a geopolitical level.

  5. Being pro Alaska is just her believing Alaska should belong to Russia.

  6. Being anti Joe Biden just means she has at least two brain cells.

Overall, this is an entirely coherent set of pro-/anti- during the war between Azerbaijan and Armenia in 2020. In the 3 and a half years since, it needs some updating, but the general gist still makes sense.

Most coherent lib

Putting a bunch of random flags next to a soyjack and seeing who gets mad

[–] CloutAtlas@hexbear.net 7 points 1 year ago

San Marino, Turkey, Guyana, Bangladesh, Yugoslavia, Macedonia, Qing Dynasty China, Belize, South Sudan, Andorra, Palestine, Texas, Iceland, USSR, New Zealand and The Vatican.

Go on, try and guess my politics.

[–] Erika3sis@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Now that's what I call luksusmening

Anyways re: simultaneous pro-Turkey and pro-Armenia, that's probably due to binationality, probably something like pro-Turkey in some things and pro-Armenia in others

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

This is your basic 4chan fascist in "disguise".

This is just social darwinism

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

I was gonna make a homonationalism joke, but pro-Russia and Israel...

Surely, this is a bit.......

Read theory, I'm begging you

[–] D61@hexbear.net 10 points 1 year ago (1 children)

There's a movie from the ... late 90's I think called "The Mummy". It starred Brendan Fraiser at the height of his career and fame.

There's a character that's a fixer, sidekick for Brendan's character. In a scene where he's seperated from the group and fleeing a certain death by supernatural causes he stops and starts pulling out medallions of every religion, kissing them and saying various prayers.

This Twitter bio has that same vibe.

Don't worry.... I think we can fix her, y'all! cat-confused

This isn’t a real person. The giveaway is “gem poster” and publicly announcing you’re a “recovering fascist”

And then the childish nonsense at the bottom of you somehow miss the first two red flags

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

Twitter has already banned this account at least.

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

First time I’ve encountered a pro Turkey/Azerbaijan poster who actually wears enough of a mask to claim to oppose genocide
