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

Looks like I.P.S. which after a bit of googling turned up Institute for Policy Studies. Which is still funny because their link to the KGB is ??? idk "IPS disagrees with me, KGB disagrees with me, therefore they are exactly the same" I guess.

Also funny that there is no line from "Liberation Theology" to democratic party.

It's pretty funny how they've become obsessed with Gramsci in particular because something something muh CRT.

I like how John Maynard Keynes appears out of nowhere, contributing a rare backwards arrow to the Homosexual Movement.

Is this chud referring to the lead singer from Tool dressing in drag? Are there any other Maynards?

That is an amazing confusion of names though

Tool is a land of contrasts

This is actually more unhinged than the evangelical “timeline of Revelations” chart I almost posted the other day.

It's very weird living in a time where chuds know who Herbert Marcuse is

The more you look, the more unhinged it gets

I think my favorite amalgamation is the cluster of "Diversity","Social Justice", "Multi-Culturalism", and "Moral Relativism" all smeared together, even though "Social Justice" comes from a different source than the other 3, with direct arrows up only coming from (presumably) "Moral Relativism" and "Multi-Culturalism"

Which of course begs the question of why "Social Justice" got jammed in if it's not going anywhere

God I wish the Democrats were taking marching orders from the DSA.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 17 points 7 months ago

Needs to include all the ultras so we can have a real shitshow map

Abortion not tied to the DNC. data-laughing

Unhinged bullshit that proves America and Americans are a total loss

I'm curious about the relationship between Stalin and Rudy Giuliani lmao

[–] Zuzak@hexbear.net 10 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I like the line that goes from Fabian Socialists, under Anti-Christianity Movement, then over John Maynard Keynes, to end up directly leading to Congressional Progressive Caucus.

[–] Nakoichi@hexbear.net 11 points 7 months ago

I think they meant to connect the anti-Christianity movement but forget to make that line an arrow, while passing over Keynes, which is really funny because the Fabians were much closer to Keynesian economics than being strictly anti-theist.

People aren't receptive to my backwards and oppressive values? It must be the fault of a vast web of conspiratorial Marxist brainwashing.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 8 points 7 months ago (1 children)

"every bad thing is the same thing" is the position that all certified dumdums reach eventually

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago (1 children)

love how long some of these connections are tho. damn, you think the feminist movement and social justice might be related? could the DSA be pulling the strings of the Democratic Party?

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 5 points 7 months ago* (last edited 7 months ago)

and literally what did keynes have to do with "homosexual movement" he died as a closeted tory
