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

which whole post, this one?

and nah its dumb af to be sectarian, the ideologies are nearly identical, most arguments are semantics or order of importance.

Yes this one.

I disagree. Most core arguments are about praxis. Just in this thread you can see awoo further dehumanizing me as "wrecker" because I didn't agree on them on one single definition (not even tactic).

The reason hexbears will dunk on you is because we recognize the suffering billions are put through to benefit the heirs of imperial hegemony. While you obviously don't care, we do, and may find those perspectives incompatible. There is a science and a practice to leftist praxis; and folks like you seem to almost find glee in muddying the waters, and that can be really frustrating when we actually are the ones who suffer the most for American hegemony and capital.

Sure, say whatever excuse you want in your head to dehumanize me. Fact oif the matter is all I did is post a low-quality meme in my own space expressing a very common anarchist sentiment. Once this started, hexbears found it really easy to start hyping each other up and start making uncharitable interpretations to keep making my "sins" larger and larger. Until I've become basically one step away from CIA-plant as multiple of you have implied gleefully.

I'll say: If your objective is "left-unity", y'all have a very strange way of achieving it. Good luck with all that.

Awwww, I'm sorry cracker, did I make you confront the fact that your activism may be an outlet for "feeling good" and will in no way benefit the people who actually are hurt by the hegemony you tacitly support?

I wish I had anything funnier to say but, no, you are so frustrating because it's so easy to pretend you're close to "getting it" and waste breath on courting you but in reality your own ego prevents you from really sympathising with the people who's suffering benefits you. The reality is, you're just a dumbass who quickly shows their own selfishness, and that's easy to bully you for and make an example so someone else who's useful will see you and not fall down the same path.

Sure sure, when I don't walk goose-step with tankies I'm infantile, a useful tool and frankly counter-Revolutionary. Old song, sweaty. Sing us a different one.

Between that racist comic with Mao having slanty eyes and you misgendering Awoo, it's not looking good for you.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago (1 children)

being anti-sectarian doesnt mean you can't criticize other leftists, you just cant say 'lol anarchism dumb' or whatever. being 'anti-brigading' isnt a core tenant of anarchism. sectarianism is viewed as wrecker behavior on this site.

for what its worth i do value the fact that you have created an anarchist-leaning instance, thats nice.

Thanks.

Sure whatever. There's a reason I'm not on this site. From my perspective I'm being labeled as "wrecker" so that it's morally acceptable to bully and harass me from now on. But whatevs 🤷

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

in what way have people bullied or harassed you? im pretty severely out of the loop on this

[–] VILenin@hexbear.net 8 points 1 year ago

They said the c-word with a hard-r. Oppression on a scale never seen before.

[–] TreadOnMe@hexbear.net 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I mean, if you're not a wrecker, you're a 'hmmm is it tho?' smuglord dipshit, so I would embrace 'wrecker', at least people will think you're intentional.
