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 free the South from the racist Weebs

The best and most celebration worthy parts of southern culture almost entirely come from black people. Not whatever this shit is

The other half of the founding fathers who wanted to just do feudalism started a civil war then lost isn't a culture, I'm sorry its just not if your culture dosent have a unified language, geography, religious/cultural and maybe the bare minimum is like 1000 years I don't want to hear about it.

But you know what I'm not even gonna go their as their are problems in defining culture like I just did.. the south dosent have a united BBQ culture let alone a full blown culture so get the fuck out of here. grillman

Both did, it’s just one half wanted Roman style feudalism that hides behind the pretense of designated families competing for limited titles.

I always found the states early goverment, you have the liberal striver types but think the French went to far but then you got straight up Roman style slaver who treat their slaves worse then the romans. In my heart of hearts 💕 I believe the American revolution is what happens then a revolution is entirely made up of opportunistic elements, I dont even think they belive it was gonna last as long as it does.

With all the “new Rome” language part of me thinks you’re right. I’ve seen people talk about it as a bourgeois revolution, so there’s definitely some theory out there that backs up the other point.

Who's "they?" The vast swath of the eastern seaboard defined by western european immigrants like the Italians and Irish, the "fugeddaboudit" and "BAHSTAHN" guys that everyone thinks of when they think of New England cities? The west coast people known for wine exports, distinctive music and film cultures, drug culture, etc?

Southern culture is now largely defined by hollow rhetoric and hypocrisy. They want to be rednecks with big trucks but they whine about how much they have to tip the food slave who brings their DoorDash order. They talk constantly about Christian values and then indulge in hedonistic lives and go out drinking alcohol to excess and fornicating (which the Bible explicitly says will bar you from entering Heaven volcel-judge )

There is a southern culture, but it doesn't come from white people.

Quite literally, Christianity to them means that they ARE "The God". Your best case scenario is that you are deemed "the help" by these inbreds and allowed to live so you can serve them. I hated them even when I was a libertarian because I saw them as the ultimate "welfare queens", they want to takes from hardworking minorities, Jews, women, and LGBT people and essentially be taken care of by them while they ungratefully hurl insults at their so-called "inferiors". They need us, but we don't need them.

Distinct recognizable culture such as slavery?

[–] zifnab25@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Distinctly recognizable culture such as poverty merch and a Schizophrenic sense of patriotism.

America is just a very large cargo cult.

The only problem with this is that white southern culture sucks balls.

I live innawoods, my car is splattered with mud from getting it out of my driveway when it rained. Many of my friends growing up were deeply impoverished (rusty-ass trampolines, sun-bleached toys strewn over the yard, "ignore Uncle Jim, he won't talk, he's playin his online poker", wife-beating happening in the other room stuff) and I had to go to all their horrible evangelical grifter churches when I slept over on Saturdays.

My point is that I'm just as if not more "southern" than the dorks like this guy and I'm a communist or some shit LMAO OWNED

It's hilarious how rabidly racist anti-semitic the WASP is while screeching about how much he loves American culture.

Us Jews are the reason blue jeans are as popular as they are. Hell, we want our brisket back while we're at it. Wait until they found out how much black people contributed to just about everything else (but we'll give the "Irish" Americans a break here, as they have made legit contributions to American music too).

Me: "Aww man, I hate the midwest sometimes..."

Some grayback: "I am your superior, Dixie is perfection!"

Me: "Shut the fuck up, traitor. Glory to the People's Republic of Iowa!"

Also thrse people would get the fuck beaten out of them for watching "removed littlr girl cartoons" by their peers if they actually interacted with their "southern culture"

[–] Poogona@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

It's tragic, I was acquainted with a few of these types in high school and they spent all their days floating at the edge of normie cliques, silently rehearsing their fantasies of one day joining the military, instead of just letting go and joining me and the other abberants getting into shouting matches over who had misquoted Futurama.

[–] UmbraVivi@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

I did like how Far Cry 5 presented American culture

[–] Parzivus@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

I tried to think of something clever to say to this but it melted my brain a little so I'm just gonna move on
