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

So Ana Kasparian from TYT did the classic: 'The left's focus on identity issues divides us! I'm done with it!' stupidpol after being called out for being a TERF and repeating typical transphobic right-wing rhetoric, which she constantly doubles down on.

This TYT LIB called Ben Burgerfucker maybe-later-honey decided to defend her, while proudly proclaiming himself to be "socially progressive" lenin-sure and "pro-gay & trans rights", yet thinks calling out a fellow LIB for spreading blatant transphobia is "identitarian scolding and purity-testing". hypersus Having believes means absolutely nothing to these idiots. Liberals will gladly defend TERFs as long as they're politically aligned with them.

It's always the same shit with these types of assholes. Conservatives do their culture wars, spread false narratives and implement laws criminalizing trans people's existence, and then when we defend ourselves and push back against the lies and bigotry that spreads even among supposed 'allies', all of a sudden we're the ones responsible for the culture wars and being "identitarian". agony Fuck off. And like any good class reductionist does, pretend like standing up for a minority and caring about their struggles is a distraction from class politics and fighting for better material conditions, maybe-later-kiddo just to hide the fact that you never really cared about said minority's struggles in the first place, and will gladly throw them under the bus because you don't care what happens to them. Also, the TYT are LIB, yet they'll conveniently pretend they care about improving material conditions. dont-laugh

And yes, in that video Kasparian used the term "identitarian" jesse-wtf to refer to intersectionality on the left. That term is literally used by Pan-European ethno-nationalists to describe their fash ideology, and she's trying to equate us with them. visible-disgust Another typical chud strategy. But apparently it's working for her audience, because even fucker Ben, the so called 'socially progressive' wanker is using that term now, and can't fathom how any of that is characteristic of someone shifting to the right, wonder-who-thats-for because like the typical LIB he is, he doesn't want to look in the mirror and admit he's full of shit, and that his social progressivism is just performative bullshittery.

Every single day I lose more faith in these so called 'allies'. desolate Fucking useless.

My rant is over. Gonna grab some more ganja to relax. rust-darkness stalin-smokin

Nihilists like this are kinda funny though. They’re so wrapped up in idealism that can’t even conceive of human consciousness as a material phenomena. So instead they conclude that it must not really exist.

They're expecting a supernatural exception even while pretending they're not expecting a supernatural exception, because they are the smartest. very-intelligent
