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

raddle is where like four weird lifestyle anarchists (this is code words for libertarians with left aesthetics) pretend to be a lot more than four users
Aren't lifestylists individualists rather than on the libertarian left? Isn't that the whole reason Bookchin denounced them?
maybe this is a regional thing, but when I think "libertarian" with no modifiers it's weirdo american right wingers, so i'm saying these are super individualists who are opposed to collective action and just pretend to be leftist anarchists
Doesn't raddle hate leftists though? They're pretty open about it: https://youtube.com/watch?v=50x0qcddf2k
Yes but they also pretend to be them
Someone called them out for banning leftists yesterday and got banned for it. It was hilarious: https://raddle.me/f/meta/177962/how-come-you-re-so-quick-to-ban-leftists-for-the-slightest

Damn takes me back.
Just from memory, I think Raddle started as an alt-Reddit back when shitredditsays was still a thing. I remember getting an invite on the IRC.

This now an AMA post.
@ziq@hexbear.net, how do you feel about showering with your homies? Personally, I can't really respect a person until I've seen their hog.

I went into that thread to talk to them but holy fuck, these replies are essentially demanding trans people self harm
Large concentration of trans people on hexbear just goes to show that not all queer people are cool people, and we're not automatically going to have anything more in common just by sharing a part of our identity. I don't think trans tankies are any better than cis tankies.
No you in fact do share a lot, it's been my experience overwhelmingly that our experiences are very uniform. I can talk and relate to people from all over the globe trivially, things are that shit for us everywhere. This sort of rhetoric is detrimental to the survival of the trans community, and is purely for the sake of ideology. For fucks sake, 90% of trans people are socialist. This is essentially encouraging trans people to check out of the community that helps them most (and I have had one person internalize this argument in person! It led to total self ostracization of help for ideological reasons). Sectarianism is so fuckin ridiculous, and is even more ridiculous in the trans community. In my view, it's incredibly important to have large non corporate trans spaces, it is easier to translate online activity to real world activity with trans people because we're desperate to get good things happening. This rhetoric tries to interdict that
tankies are worse because they should know better than to do around the clock propaganda for authoritarian homophobic states
Trans people get food and housing in these states, which is the biggest issue to fix in the west, based on my experience working with people. Mutual aid and charity have unfortunately been unable to tackle this completely, and regardless, the rhetoric before interdicts even anarchist mutual aid
most people have no authority-consciousness but marginalized people absolutely do, and yet some of us choose to use that consciousness to push for more authority, convinced stalin 2.0 is going to liberate us. it's obscene
Specters still haunting
not all queer people are cool people,
Norman Finkelstein is right? apparently radlibs really do only care about LGBT for building their social capital as fashionable
I don't think trans tankies are any better than cis tankies.
convinced stalin 2.0 is going to liberate us. it's obscene
lol how's your "liberatory free markets" doing in Ukraine after leftoids heroically SMASHED THE STALINIST STATE in the 2014 coup? Remember that psychotic genocidal trans who was fired for being too mask off in their obscenity? Hmm

so ziq's in that thread mocking db0 and calling them a tankie, isn't db0 an anarchist / anarchist adjacent(?)
Apparently anarcho-lifestylists think ancoms are secret tankies or something. You can see their feud start here: https://raddle.me/f/Anarchism/81827/how-anarcho-communism-would-create-authority
Highlight: Db0 calls ziq an authoritarian for opposing democracy.
It was then turned into an even bigger anti-ancom rant:

I've been too busy working the past few days to keep up with online drama
I'm fucking tired but it's cool I made the even more terminally online "leftists" at raddle mad hehehe
Would it be too online of me to write a response?

Can this "struggle session" (if I'm allowed to use that phrase) spread to even more websites? Maybe all the way to facebook? Then my dad could weigh in, he would have a good time.
