Me when my slave plantation rises up and kills me: "But I let you elect your own head slave!! This is antidemocratic!!" porky-scared-flipped

Why did John Brown not simply push the Whig party to the left? John Brown broke the law. He tried to steal someone's private property! How would you like it if someone came into your house and stole all your furniture, in the name of "freedom"? Also, he is a religious nut-job. I am SO GLAD we have BRAVE PATRIOTS like Robert E. Lee, to protect America from traitors. Anyone who votes for Lincoln in the next election is a fascist!

Terrorism is when you peacefully occupy college campuses 🇺🇸

Back in the GG days I was following various anti-woke sources/creators (read kotakuinaction, watched JP, shoe, Chris ray gun, etc.). Since then I've obviously left that whole sphere (I mainly attribute this to innuendo studios tbh), but it's interesting to see that Brianna Wu has made just everyone dislike her. I hope she sees the light someday, because honestly it feels pretty weird to still be disliking one of the people GG attacked.

Edit: other notable figures in my radicalization are Hasan and second thought, and my wife and I have had a bit of a radicalizing feedback loop. Then I discovered lemmy during the API thing, found out about hexbear because of everyone talking about how scary it is, and choosing to check it out myself and finding it incredible based.

I'll be honest, I watched thunderf00t for like two videos making fun of solar panel roads because they're dumb, then I saw the anti feminist stuff and thought, hey this guy's a tool.

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 15 points 4 months ago

At this point I really dont think Brianna Wu has it in her to see any kind of light, shes just genuinely a craven social climber.

She was cozying up to transvestigators and posting some deranged shit accusing Brittney Griner of having a voice in the hertz range of literal subwoofers.

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 9 points 4 months ago

Also claiming that she was spitballing hertz values from listening to one audio clip because she has "10 years of piano practice" which means that her brain automatically translates pitch to hertz.

If anything I would hope for her to just transition into posting more shit like this, she might end up at pre-president Trump tier posting if she keeps this up.

Trans peoole have an unfair advantage at the club because they have built in speakers

[-] Pentacat@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

To me, Lemmy was always this rocker dude hanging out at the Rainbow Room looking for cocaine. Sounds like he now hosts an online place where leftists make libs feel unsafe?

“Freedom of the press” is another of the principal slogans of “pure democracy”. And here, too, the workers know — and socialists everywhere have admitted it millions of times — that this freedom is a deception while the best printing presses and the biggest stocks of paper are appropriated by the capitalists and while capitalist rule over the press remains, a rule that is manifested throughout the world all the more strikingly, sharply, and cynically, the more democracy and the republican system are developed, as in America for example.

The first thing to do to win real equality and genuine democracy for the working people, for the workers and peasants, is to deprive capital of the possibility of hiring writers, buying up publishing houses, and hiring newspapers. And to do that the capitalists and exploiters have to be overthrown and their resistance suppressed.

The capitalists have always used the term ‘freedom’ to mean freedom for the rich to get richer and for the workers to starve to death.

In capitalist usage, freedom of the press means freedom of the rich to bribe the press, freedom to use their wealth to shape and fabricate so-called public opinion.

In this respect, too, the defenders of ‘pure democracy’ prove to be defenders of an utterly foul and venal system that gives the rich control over the mass media. They prove to be deceivers of the people who, with the aid of plausible, fine-sounding, but thoroughly false phrases, divert them from the concrete historical task of liberating the press from capitalist enslavement.

The only people who believe in absolute, unrestricted free speech are weird ancap types. The average run of the mill lib doesn't believe in it, none of the countries they stan have unrestricted free speech laws, and the facists obviously don't believe in it either.

Remember supporting her against the gamers only to realize that she is just a gamer too?

[-] radiofreeval@hexbear.net 33 points 4 months ago

At this point terrorism just means military action done by Brown people. And what the fuck else is military action if not a means to an end.

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 6 points 4 months ago

Always has. The term as we know it was largely ressurected in to political language by Bibi of all fucking people to delegitimize Palestinian political efforts.

Dont come crying to us when your dogshit mates turn on you Bri, I was always more of a camembert fan myself anyway

It'll be hard for her to muenster support

[-] MolotovHalfEmpty@hexbear.net 27 points 4 months ago

Says the woman who proudly and openly proclaimed she was a member of an online Nazi group. 🙄

[-] T34_69@hexbear.net 24 points 4 months ago

... Terrorism is a means to an end, it's like, the most "means to an end" a political action can be

[-] Cummunism@hexbear.net 20 points 4 months ago

fascism is under capitalism. that's not the left.

i'm definitely authoritarian though, because of what i want to do to capitalists and white supremacists.

[-] FnordPrefect@hexbear.net 19 points 4 months ago

Does...does JohnnyP think that 'antidemocratic' means 'doesn't like democrats'?

Also, other people have called out the projection, but holy shit, your 'team' is using literal Nazi talking points/tactics, no imagination required!

Brianna Wu helping to justify my disbelief in freeze peach and western "democracy" lol.

[-] kashifshah@lemmy.sdf.org 15 points 4 months ago

ruling with the ax, a fascist makes. my way or the highway type shit is what she is talking about - pisses my radical moderate self off, every time

[-] idkmybffjoeysteel@hexbear.net 12 points 4 months ago

Spoken while suppressing free speech and protests, but they knew this obviously

[-] KittyBobo@hexbear.net 11 points 4 months ago

Terrorist I can accept

[-] itappearsthat@hexbear.net 8 points 4 months ago

in the lib mind you are a terrorist if you want a thing to actually change instead of being "seen" and "heard" about wanting it to change

[-] Red_sun_in_the_sky@lemmy.ml 8 points 4 months ago* (last edited 4 months ago)

Brianna wu does not know meanings of words or is cunning enough to project. Cause brianna is a staunch zionist and even an american exceptionalist. Apparently anti genocide is a fringe left position. Brianna essentially spewing the "Oh nazis were nicer than the soviets ackshually". Albeit perfectly aligned with a fascist movement. Naive or purposely obscurant we'll never know. Anyways I think brianna sounds like a think tank cutout. She'll cite brookings on how nato never wanted to move eastward next. Probably did already with all the drivel she spews.

so close to dictatorship of the proletariat

[-] EmoThugInMyPhase@hexbear.net 1 points 4 months ago

Wish she got harassed and swatted more during gamer gate

[-] Frank@hexbear.net 3 points 4 months ago

Nah. That was unhinged frothing right wing misogynist violence. If you're going to harass Wu do it bc she has shitty politics, or because she's a clueless dork, not because she's a woman.

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
