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

Trans rights are a liberal value

Seemingly not based on your comments, fuck off out of our instance

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I'm not even a liberal, but y'all are so chronically online and accustomed to being in a little echo chamber you can't talk to anyone rationally.

I've never met a trans person IRL who needs me to remember 4 pronouns, or needs pronouns like "Fae", but say something on Hexbear and you're instantly transphobic liberal Hitler.

You lost me at

I've never met a trans person IRL

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (3 children)

So silly, I live in an exceedingly queer part of a city and work in a business that is all queer people, so about 1/5 of everyone I work with is trans.

As far as I can tell, neopronouns are entirely a basement dweller thing.

This tells more about you than about the people you interact with. A person I worked with was telling me and a trans ally he never heard someone complain about what pronouns he uses (in a meeting in which we spoke out against a transphobic suggestion he made). He was quite sure of himself and didn't want to hear what we said. Even after we did make that semi public he stood his position, which is funny since my ally did actually demand in public to be recognized with the correct terms and name.

People didn't feel save around him. In my environment trans people and plenty of others are giving you pronouns, but then again I am not outside the scene, am I?

I guarantee the chud that said this likes to call people NEETS while either projecting from a basement or smugly sits comfortably upon their parents' boat dealership money and does chores sometimes to "earn" it.

tell us more, I'm sure your coworkers would love to hear about this.

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

columbo So you say trans rights are a liberal value right? Ah yes of course, that checks out.

I'll be going now. Actually, just one more thing, it's probably nothing - didn't you just say you don't consider yourself a liberal?

thinking-about-it

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (4 children)

I have many liberal values but I don't identify as a liberal.

Liberalism had its place in pushing the envelope of progressivism for a while, but it's not good enough.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 41 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

You are deffinitely a liberal, but you don't even know why we are calling you that.

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago (1 children)
[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yes but the dipshit maybe actually believe they aren't

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 20 points 1 year ago

they're already banned, you're not gonna get a response from them lol

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I believe in egalitarianism, and personal liberty, to the extend that it does not override egalitarianism.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Oh for fuck sakes , that's what liberalism defines itself as.

Again, you don't even understand your liberalism, nor why it blends so well with your fascistic tendencies we all know you have.

There's a simple explanation why liberals like you emit Hitler particles at such rate.

[–] Redcat@hexbear.net 16 points 1 year ago

that's what liberalism defines itself as.

noo liberalism is when karl marx forces videogames to have age of consent in them :(

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Well you're obviously not a socialist, and you're not a liberal, so that means you're either a libertarian/conservative or some secret fourth thing, so please enlighten me, what are you?

[–] FaeDrifter@midwest.social 1 points 1 year ago (2 children)

[–] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 32 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Those are vague term to obvuscate what you are, I also believe in egalitarianism and personal liberty to the extent that it does not override egalitarianism, are you also a communist just like all of us here?

[–] citrussy_capybara@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

personal liberty, to the extend that it does not override

Fae is a right libertarian. This is classic “NAP but I want to sound progressive, not conservative”. The embarrassed propertarians that realise their politics are repugnant. No pronouns, no regulations like age of consent.

[–] Redcat@hexbear.net 18 points 1 year ago

oh we know we are talking to a right wing libertarian, aka an american liberal (red party)

its just so funny to see them lose their minds at being called what they are

Shut the fuck up you sophistry-slinging cryptofascist coward.

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

Correct. Liberals have a tendency of equivocating the issue of human rights. Like you enjoy doing.

Please tell me you think the homeless are the real landlords so that we get the full triad of American Liberalism out of you.

[–] robinn2@hexbear.net 22 points 1 year ago

American liberalism inspired Hitler

[–] silent_water@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

you're right, you're a fascist. and we have strict rules for fascists. you need to post your hog real quick.
