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

a significant increase in hate speech

But the SS aren't really nazis, its the lemmygrad users who are the real nazis

Oblivious wolves. This was like the libs a while back using the Sartre quote about antisemitism to describe our incivility.

Saying "genocide is bad" is hate speech against fascists.

[–] JuryNullification@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Actually, it’s only genocide when it’s not done by ![international-community-1](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/d4de2130-a0bd-47de-858f-b6d491c75bdc.png "emoji international-community-1")![international-community-2](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/e1592766-a6f4-4f23-a7a7-9068d7bd1c29.png "emoji international-community-2")

Communism is when first world crackers make up utopias in their heads and then do nothing except criticize non-white countries

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 77 points 1 year ago (1 children)

the soviet union and china weren't communist. I also don't like scary angry communists like various independence movements around the world, they look like the people they call "terrorists" on the news. when I say I'm a communist I mean I want to have a nice real communist country like Sweden, where they have a semi-functional healthcare system and communist parties get 0.5% of the vote and the party that wants to make being a foreigner illegal gets 57.5%

Throwback to the asklemmy(?) thread asking if socialists would want to move into a socialist country and people were listing Nordic countries calling them socialist... ಠ_ಠ

"Totalitarian" is arguably the most meaningless word, ever. Also, imagine being haunted by the specter of a country that hasn't existed since probably before you were born. Oh no! The big bad soviets are going to rise from the grave and steeeeeal yooooour graaaaaaain!

An incredibly concentrated dose of stupidity in that thread. It's amazing. I don't even get what the point of being off Reddit is for those losers, they have the same critical thinking skills as the average redditor.

Truly. Imagine having a brain that works like this.

Hate speech is when you criticize Israeli colonialism and genocide according to Lemmy dot world.

They are aware that the majority of the world recognises the state of Palestine, right? The world is not Europe and the USA. Very ironic instance name.

It’s kinda fun watching liberals realize that Bolsheviks aren’t leftists

i hope i die before i have to talk to a liberal ever again, these people are complete dipshits

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 51 points 1 year ago (15 children)

It’s kinda fun

I like it that

I love it when

It's funny that

It's interesting that

insufferably smug liberals can't seem to communicate without those fucking sentence starters.

lemmy.world is a joke, unbelievable how thin skinned they are

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 52 points 1 year ago

Their admins are not thin-skinned, or at least that's not why they do these things. They're cynical and fascist. This is why they lie and fail to show receipts: if they grounded their claims in examples, they'd have to show the political decisions they're making around what counts as "hate speech" (treating Palestinians as humans deserving liberation, for example) and what does not (calls for genocide against Palestinians).

[–] lckdscl@whiskers.bim.boats 54 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Seems like they also recently decided to ban posting archive links/big chunks of articles. Rip that AI summary bot lmfao. What a bunch of clowns 🤡

What hatespeech? Every time I've been to lemmgrad it's been based. What are they posting hatespeech about?

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 53 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Not braying for the genocide of Palestinians right now is considered hate speech by these libs

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 47 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

we always knew that their 'love' for xinjiang muslims was bullshit. they bray for the genocide of muslims everywhere, but suddenly xinjiang is an exception?

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago

Uighurs were only allowed to be people in their eyes to make China look bad. And even then, its not like they wanted to actually do anything to help the Uighur people. All they even wanted out of believing in it happening was to say "China Bad." Even when they pretend to care about Muslims, they don't care that much

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

The lib response to that is

Two things can be wrong at the same time, you're just a tankie brainwashed by Xi and Putler, or you're a wumao bot, because I can't comprehend real people disagree with me ![smuglord](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/97a4a756-428f-4517-846a-1c810805ad28.png "emoji smuglord")

I keep seeing people talk about hate speech on there, any time I've asked for a link no one responds

It's now hate speech to say America is imperialist

For real though they probably mean pro-Palestinian language

Lmao the only remaining left wing check against that place becoming a fully fascist shithole is now gone.

It is literally just going to be a nazi bar now. They will force them to speak in a certain way by policing language used, but they will all be nazis.

Oh no, it appears we are now in a 'circle-jerk' and are 'cloistering ourselves from reality on the internet', whatever will we do now without the insightful knowledge of "Um have you considered that maybe both sides are bad?" or "How can you blame liberals for this, its not like the President of the U.S. just gave the go-ahead for genocide, even going as far as to give them more and bigger bombs to do so?"

David Hayter voice: After World War II, Lemmy was split into two- based and cringe. This marked the beginning of the era known as the Cold War.

more like lemmy.zion

Welp, time to set up a self-hosted instance so I have no curtains blocking what I want to see.

[–] Sprite@lemmy.ml 40 points 1 year ago

.ml is the best if you don't want to self-host (not saying you shouldn't, just posting in case someone feels this way but doesn't want to self-host). All the ML and none of defederation.
