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

I will never be as big a tankie as liberals. When I talk about paperclip, they respond about how the ussr did it as well. Which means they think being under KGB custody was a sweet a deal as being a celebrity heading a propaganda project in the US. Which is a wild statement about how much they like the USSR

Libs implying that the KGB wasn't harsh enough on the Nazis

Paperclip is the limited hangout

Bloodstone is the real meat on that war crime rib

being a celebrity heading a propaganda project in the US

Von Braun? Called him a nazi in a twitch chat once and somebody was like "You mean American scientist and Hero Von Braun?" unironically

That's where my mind goes anyway, were there more?

Seeing the amount of American chauvinism present in supposed leftists is just sad. There is no urge to do any self crit or reflection, straight to defense mode.

It is also like how they get with decolonisation or reparations. They take it as a personal attack.

Dronie bots paid by Uncle Sam

Can someone explain to me how a trans-inclusive instance is this fucking awful? Were we not federated with them at one point? I swear we were. What the fuck happened?

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago (3 children)

The allowed in "anti-tankies" from 196, and that became basically the only comm that matters. 196 is nominally pro-trans but does so in a really weirdly horny way, and because 196 is predominantly cis it comes off very chasery. The admins of blahaj refused to take action agaisnt chasery posts, and the mod of the 196 comm actively defended them.

That's fucking disgusting. Imagine selling your soul for internet traffic from people that hate your very existence.

They're chaser-inclusive first, trans-inclusive second

They did the thing where liberals keep siding with anti-communists and inevitably become fascists
