Love this free country where you face unemployment, and therefore starvation and homelessness, for exercising your free speech

anybody else remember the actress who got fired and dogpiled for suggesting that maybe half of manhattan shouldn't be shut down for an asbolutely massive police funeral parade that looked straight out of nazi germany

Moralists don't really have beliefs. Sometimes they stumble on one, like on a child's toy left on the carpet. The toy must be put away immediately. And the child reprimanded. Centrism isn't change -- not even incremental change. It is control. Over yourself and the world. Exercise it. Look up at the sky, at the dark shapes of Coalition airships hanging there. Ask yourself: is there something sinister in moralism? And then answer: no. God is in his heaven. Everything is normal on Earth.

I have such a disco elysium brain that i automatically read it in the narrator's voice ![dubois-depressed](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/96ae81ce-7e91-4485-bbe0-3c7a2cf4d7f3.png "emoji dubois-depressed")

Is disco elysium good? I've thought about playing it

It's Extremely Good and Cool

I love how steam reviews write the political content off as commie propaganda when the guy who wrote the thing literally lived in a communist country and has no tie to the government in order to have a reason to spread propaganda.

Libs just get in pure denial when they're presented with the idea that there is in fact something better than the current system.

[-] HornyOnMain@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

My favourite is seeing a review that goes

[๐Ÿ‘Ž] "woke gay communist propaganda"

and then the next goes

[๐Ÿ‘] "woke gay communist propaganda"

because it indicts them and they'd have to build a new self-image if they admitted it

I sometimes want to play DE, but I know it got hostile taken over by libs and I live in Germany where torrenting is illegal + I have never pirated anything in my life and idk how to do that, and I imagine it would be harder to do on Linux anyway. Or does the profit from the first installment still go to the original creators? Anyone knows?

[-] YoureNotAlexander@hexbear.net 5 points 11 months ago

A VPN is basically all you need to pirate safely. Playing pirated games on Linux is also a pretty simple process if you use Lutris.

These are the same bootlickers that whine about "cancel culture" if a sex predator is slightly inconvenienced and misses a few movie roles.

[-] wtypstanaccount04@hexbear.net 40 points 11 months ago

Hit or miss! I guess they never miss huh? ![palestine-strong](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/e1adbe05-ebf7-4265-a418-1ce483031977.png "emoji palestine-strong")

Big shock: the woman who fled Lebanon as a child because of ongoing Israeli aggression, isn't a big fan of Israel.

[-] CarmineCatboy@hexbear.net 30 points 11 months ago

at least they didn't say playboy doesn't have the right to act in a marxist fashion under a corporate capitalist regime which is a thing apparently

cancel culture is real

[-] M68040@hexbear.net 2 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

I always kind of thought most conservative philosophy was just kind of a paper-thin post-hoc justification for blind reaction of one sort or another. At least, that's how it tends to go for ![grillman](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/b674f45a-ed3b-4a2b-995b-189c052d6d7f.png "emoji grillman") and various people you run into posting

[-] BeMoreCareful@lemdro.id 1 points 11 months ago

I don't see the problem with changing your views.

[-] muddi@hexbear.net 16 points 11 months ago

This isn't about a person changing views really. It's more that this worldview is not internally consistent

One might even say there are internal contradictions in the capitalist mode of production and attached ideology, such that capitalism sows the seeds of its own collapse

dang you could write a whole ass book of takes like this

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 14 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

If someone hasn't even thought through their view on a basic level like "what does a company firing someone over speech say about free speech," they should not be "vehemently" weighing in on the issue in the first place.

[-] POKEMONGOTOTHEGULAG@hexbear.net 13 points 11 months ago

Would he have changed his views if the person in question was a rightwing psycho?

[-] NotErisma@hexbear.net 9 points 11 months ago

But in this context, they get dunked. ![shrug-outta-hecks](https://www.hexbear.net/pictrs/image/7cc4b291-507e-4aa2-9ba6-35d81eb4a08a.png "emoji shrug-outta-hecks")

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
