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

Dude just loves riling himself up into a frenzy, doesn’t he? I guess he was mad that Hasan was going to interview Obama, which never even happened, and now he thinks Hasan is a “genocide supporter” because a random YouTube clip he came across that said “Hasan supports Kamala’s policies”, which he never even watched and was most likely just clipped. Hasan isn’t perfect, but fuck, you think at least him going to the DNC as a journalist would be considered fair from BE. Wild.

lmao bro he's just a streamer. At least, unlike badempanada he doesn't spend half his time being insufferable and punching left and hating on every still standing socialist government while being an expat living a cushy life in south America by pandering to self hating western anti-communists that want to also act like the smartest most ultra left children online.

fuck them both but fuck BadEmpanada more for larping like the most principled leftist ever while basically just being a whiny little twerp on the internet all the time.

lmao bro he's just a streamer.

tell that to his defenders here, because half the comments are about how he is the vanguard of the revolution and doing heckin praxis

You want your cake and eat it too. Is Hassan a serious political subject? Then he is open for criticism for being a radlib DNC bootlicker. Is he just a silly streamer? Then why are people here making these dumbass arguments about how he is working towards communism with twitch characteristics?

half the comments are about how he is the vanguard of the revolution

what vanguard? there's no vanguard in the anglosphere. Communism has no foothold in America. 0.000% of Communism has been built here dubois-depressed

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

tell that to the users in here talking about how much epic praxis he's doing (including you, who say he's a "pipeline"). If he's a "pipeline" then where that pipeline is dumping people out to is open to criticism. I don't see the point of moving people from one radlib camp to another, it's just celebrity parasocial shit combined with all the identitarian flavors of ideology to feel special. It's all radlib shit and it's actually damaging to any forming left because you have a bunch of would-be leftists in here making zionist-adjacent arguments filled with credulity like "He was on the fence about Kamala".

Anybody who is "on the fence about Kamala" isn't a Marxist or is lying. Anybody in here defending that shit is so attached to his dick they can't think straight and are shrinking into a DNC progressive corncob

he radicalized my brother, so I'm just speaking from experience. Let he (on the splinter site from their subreddit) who has never listened to Chapo Trap House throw the first stone emilie-shrug

[–] footfaults@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

He has radicalized some people, which is GOOD but c'mon that doesn't shield him from critique.

Like, even my critique of him is after watching a ton of his clips about the DNC and Kamala and Gaza but that doesn't make him impervious to critique.

I'm not saying don't watch him, or that he's bad.

[–] WhyEssEff@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

100%. He’s not immune and he’s made some wack moves and has some wack views. I think some of the shit he did at the DNC and was unambiguously cringe, like the stuff with the PodJons. I think he did lend too much benefit-of-the-doubt to the Harris campaign, but has since course-corrected after her campaign was entirely disambiguated.

I just think his presence and role is an overall positive for the American socialist movement in the state it is, and my anecdotal experience shows him successfully moving people outside of the confines of liberalism, so I’m willing to lend him an assumption of good faith at the very least due to that.

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

Don't bother with these nerds. Dickriding BadEmpanada is just a cringe as being a Hasan fan all these streamers can fuck off but if anyone is pretending someone is a vanguard it's these chucklefucks defending their favorite ultraleft settler streamer expat living off the backs of folks in the global south.

All these people desperately need to fucking touch grass.

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

that's my line

you guys are the ones defending the guy who streams 10 hours a day and has a bunch of children glued to their computers and phones

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 10 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You're the one defending a dipshit streamer that does nothing but sit in his gamer chair and punch left more than anything else these days while trying to cosplay as the most principled leftist in the room and actually doing zero praxis IRL. At least Hasan doesn't pretend to be anything more than a pseudo-left himbo streamer.

Stay in your fuckin lane.

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I never defended BE, lmao. Both of them are dumbasses and I hate all streamers. Please read closer next time

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

You are literally doing that right now in this thread by endorsing his hypocritical comments about Hasan.

Both can get fucked but BE is objectively worse.

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

"endorsing his comments"

Lmao i'm just mocking Hasan for being a DNC shill. Just because some dumbass ultra also has that criticism doesn't make it wrong.

So whenever an ultra and a radlib are squabbling we have to pick a side apparently? How about they both shut the fuck up? Is that not an option? I'm not the one who decided to make a thread white-knighting one of the sides and filled it with radlib users making credulous dipshit arguments like "Hasan was on the fence about Kamala"

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

I don't know anything about this it just looks like you picking a side between two random streamers. BE is worse from all I have ever seen what the fuck is your obsession here?

I could just as easily say BE and his anticommunist obsession is pro DNC.

Anyway I am done entertaining you.

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

never picked a side, they're both shit.

Lots of radlibs in here picked a side, so I'm mocking them

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

I don't give a fuck about either of these people. It is you motherfuckers that have an unhealthy parasocial relationship with a dipshit settler streamer.

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 7 points 2 months ago (1 children)

my "unhealthy relationship" is i want them to go away and for you people to shut the fuck up about them and stop posting drama about them here and stop embarrassing yourself making arguments on their behalf

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I want them both to go away. You defending the one is why you are so fucking cringe. I am not defending Hasan I literally never watch him, I am begging you people to stop defending the shit stirring clout chasing settler expat. Fuck off.

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 6 points 2 months ago (1 children)

where am I defending BE? Never anywhere did I do that, I said he's a dumbass ultra and clout chaser

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

I said he's a dumbass ultra and clout chaser

Where?
