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.

what part of infiltrating the DNC to spread pro-palestine arguments requires him hugging the pod jons and giving AOC a platform to spew her bullshit

[–] Philosophosphorous@hexbear.net 17 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (2 children)

he explicitly says all the time that he is overly nice to people on camera even when he disagrees with them so that he can hopefully deprogram their followers. its like you don't understand the concept of media or propaganda, or are being intentionally obtuse.

also, i think there's a fundamental disconnect from Hasan and his fans who see the DNC libs as annoying and misinformed but fundamentally OK people.

I, and other hardline communists, see the US as a fourth reich and the DNC as little Nazi genocidal fucks. When I see someone who is supposed to be "on my side" cozying up with them and hugging them, I don't think "wow so glad he is de-radicalizing those fascists" I think "what the fuck is this rich shithead doing? Is he a traitor to our cause like all the other people who schmooze up to the nazis have been historically"

the opposite is happening, his followers are being programmed to being more complacent and OK with podjons and DNC "progressives"

if thats the plan then someone at the DNC has clearly fucked up

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

have they? they've made half the people on a supposedly "leftist" forum defend statements like "he's on the fence about Kamala and waiting until she changes her mind on genocide to endorse her"

Like imagine saying something that stupid with a straight face. Never would have happened before Hasan

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

have they?

yep. because they had an aoc in their hands and kicked her out of their convention.

clarify your statement it made no sense

who had aoc in their hands? who kicked AOC out of the convention?

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 3 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

if the plan is to get someone's followers on the DNC agenda then they shouldn't kick that someone from the DNC. this is part of the rest of the conversation you're in, where some people feel that this streamer is the same type of careerist as AOC. i think it is self evident that if that was the case, then DNC wouldn't have kicked them out.

[–] SeekTheDeletion@hexbear.net 5 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

AOC was never kicked out of the DNC.

The Pod Jons invited Hasan into their room where he continued his stream (after hugging them), he wasn't kicked out merely his press credentials were revoked. If Hasan is so dangerous to the DNC, why would the fuckin DNC mascots the podjons be jerking off with him in their private cube?

The decrepit ghouls who run the DNC don't understand how important and influential Hasan was so they kicked him out. The savvier and smarter and younger pod jons saw what a fumble the DNC was doing by ostracizing a willing sheepdog, and instead called him in. There is an understanding among young media hustlers, one might call.... a network.

AOC was never kicked out of the DNC.

thats the argument, yes

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

i'm just on a different wavelength than you, nothing you say makes any sense to me i can't even parse it

[–] CarmineCatboy2@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)
