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

In this post, I saw a lot of people coming to Bad Empanada's defense, and felt like they may be uninformed about his actual positions of things, so I felt that this ought to be posted.

His views on Ukraine are very clear if you watch his videos like the 90 minute one about how the scientific consensus on the Holodomor is that it wasn't a genocide, but since a lot of people in here get irrationally angry because of the smallest criticism of AES (while claiming to be "critically" supportive) and starts to cry fed they are a very easy target to troll. After this i am even less convinced that his Venezuela video was serious (which would be good because it was awful).

I don't buy this. He clearly fucks with people on Twitter but putting the effort into a whole video to just subtlety troll people is less believable. He still occasionally contradicts himself in his videos but significantly less often, I think what he says on camera is much closer to whatever his actual views are.

I think his actual views are somewhat informed by what pisses off the people he hates is the thing.

This is a stream of his. He is putting zero effort into these. 99% of these are watching Vaush and Destiny and other whothefuckcaresabout youtubers videos and him pointing and laughing.

Whoa bro I’m only being an imperialist chauvinist like my audience loves me being ironically

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 3 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not the audience, it's clowns like you who get all up in arms and spam comments trying to smear others because of stupid shit.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You should be smeared because you hold chauvinist and imperialist views you refuse to change. The smears will continue until your opinions improve

Go join blanqui and the other chauvinists in logging off forever

[–] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 35 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Sorry but if the video is a "joke" then he is doing a Vaush where he can pull a "just joking", this is pathetic, my man is lost in the irony swamp.

[–] AndJusticeForAll@hexbear.net 17 points 3 months ago (1 children)

It's not irony, it's just engagement bait at this point. He's not even making a point it's just him trying to annoy people.

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I think i should clarify: It is a joke in the way that it's purposefully much more blatant and outrageous as what his actual opinion is (which usually come out on his regular channel, not on his streams where he just talks shit for hours, that's literally what the streams are for). You can call it pathetic, i don't like it either, but that's why i am not watching his streams, only the main channel content.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 7 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You are the way you are because you absorb breadtube content and it turns your brain into chauvinist, terrorist supporting mush

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

Wish i had the time to absorb breadtube content lmao.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago (1 children)

You just said you watch BE content. This is where the stupidity is entering your brain from, turn off the spigot

One too many, the rot has clearly already set in. If you don’t stop soon it will be too late and you will be a burned out Bernie Bro Democrat radlib for the rest of your life, cheering on NATO

[–] NewAcctWhoDis@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago (1 children)

What the fuck is the point of intentionally putting out bad videos?

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago (2 children)

As someone else said it, engagement bait.

[–] TankieTanuki@hexbear.net 19 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago)

If I ever go rabid like this, please put me down. snipes-hesitation

I'm so glad I've never cared about breadtube

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 8 points 3 months ago (2 children)

Lmao you are the person that always used to defend SDF and the US bases in Syria.

Disregard this chauvinist people, they’re a habitual NJR defender and succ sucker

Counterpoint: funny parasocial podcast man fought for Rojava ypg-brace

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago

Even he regrets it and kind of shits on them now

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

I do defend the SDF cause i am not a fan of ethnic cleansing. Not US bases tho.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 5 points 3 months ago* (last edited 3 months ago) (1 children)

SDF are some of the biggest ethnic cleansers in Syria and are an American proxy who steal oil from the people of Syria. You know this, it’s been stated to you a hundred times, but you prefer to continue on in your radlib fantasy where there’s a “based communalism” for you to cheer for draped over the American imperialism. It morally absolves you in your chauvinist rooting for the imperialist side

[–] DivineChaos100@hexbear.net 2 points 3 months ago (1 children)

SDF are some of the biggest ethnic cleansers in Syria

Shouldve really given up reading this here-

are an American proxy who steal oil from the people of Syria.

No, they chose to ally temporarily with them in order not to be ethnically cleansed by Turkey and by IS. Which is a bad decision, as i stated multiple times, but again, talking to a wall.

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 6 points 3 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

The US is allies with Turkey and ISIS and green lit the Turkish invasion. Some “allies” the US is, looks a lot more like they are dogs and vassals who have to take any and all abuse because they got in bed with the devil and sold out.

Odd that the SDF just “released” 200 ISIS prisoners all at once as soon as their territory (illegally occupied oil refineries) is under threat. If they hate IS so much why are they releasing IS fighters to kill Arabs to protect their interests?

They are stealing Syrian oil. They ethnically cleansed Arabs throughout Syria. These are facts you cannot dispute or address.

You are the wall here, evidenced by you holding a 2016 circa opinion that 99.99% of socialists have moved on from. It’s YOU who is wrong and stubborn and incapable of learning new information.
