lmao those reddit dregs are really pretending they're not the whitest crackers to ever grace lemmy, the vitriol they have for black radicals alone was palpable in the first week

Also it's clear they've never engaged with this instance at all if they think our deal is simply being a chapotraphouse fan site, that wasn't true even back in 2019 let alone 2023, lmao why lie about something so easily disproveable

[-] huf@hexbear.net 28 points 1 year ago

even the chapotraphouse subreddit had a running joke that nobody posting there was actually listening to the podcast

You would know socialism doesn't work if you spent more time working under capitalism smuglord

[-] Rojo27@hexbear.net 73 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

spend years reading leftist theory, but have zero real world experience

jesse-wtf

I just love this lib classic. I really do wish I lived in whatever "real world" these people live in where they don't feel even the slightest amount of rage at all the injustices imparted upon society by capitalism. Miss me with the pragmatism bullshit.

[-] queermunist@lemmy.ml 48 points 1 year ago

They have real world experience as a manager screaming at underlings to work harder and stop slacking.

[-] JuneFall@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago

It is basically a dog whistle for "your life doesn't count".

Quoting Bill Haywood

I've never read Marx's Capital, but I've got the marks of capital all over my body.

If you work, you know you're getting fucked by your boss. You may not have the means to put it into words to explain your exploitation, but you understand just the same that every dollar your boss gets is a dollar you didn't get for your work

[-] GaveUp@hexbear.net 58 points 1 year ago

Yes, I'm sure white and wealthy people are actually more likely to support poor non-white countries, cause I don't see any other types of socialists doing that

r/blackwolffeed is probably the largest Chapo fan community right now. Chapo posts here get like ~10 comments engagement max compared to the 100+ for every pirated episode there.

[-] ClimateChangeAnxiety@hexbear.net 33 points 1 year ago

Yeah if I’m looking for discussion of a new Chapo episode I go there not here

[-] Ram_The_Manparts@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago

Inform these people that you were raised by poor parents and you're currently working paycheck to paycheck and they'll tell you "just learn 2 code lol"

Fuck I hate these clowns

[-] Twink@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

No coding? Then just get a degree! funny-clown-hammer

[-] marx_mentat@hexbear.net 46 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Aren't the assholes posting shit like this the ones who are saying "China/Cuba/DPRK isn't real socialism it's actually fascism okay"

Absolutely, so it's guaranteed these people are the ones loaded with inheritance money and bullshit nepo jobs from their parents.

[-] blobjim@hexbear.net 40 points 1 year ago

feel like these are bait fedposts to get people who aren't white to out themselves but it could go either way lol.

[-] GorbinOutOverHere@hexbear.net 35 points 1 year ago

[-] axont@hexbear.net 12 points 1 year ago

my politics just aren't extreme I'm whiter than sour cream

[-] eatmyass@hexbear.net 34 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Some lib accused me of this the other day. My response was

I love people like you who will travel around the world, experience different cultures, talk to different people, and then somehow manage to have it just reinforce your biases and western exceptionalism. Do you really, honestly think that my opinions have been wholly formed by sitting on my ass in front of my computer?

it’s like those extremely bourgeois libs who will go on and on about the importance of travel in helping you grow as a person. Except their idea of travel is going to the French Riviera or some Mexican resort to have their whims completely catered to by the locals, and come back having their worldview confirmed. I’ll be honest I’ve only done international travel a handful of times in my life, but each time was one of the most eye-opening experiences of my life which really challenged some of my most deeply held beliefs, and which I credit with pushing me towards communism. These people tout the importance of “getting out in the real world” except somehow manage to have the same opinions as someone who has never left their shitty suburban hamlet.

These people literally cannot fathom that we exist so they just reason us out of existence. Oh they’re all white shut ins who aren’t living in the real world. Just like how we’re all Russian bots or right-wingers pretending to be queer.

Also lol @ “all white people from upper crust suburbs” as if he isn’t just describing Reddit

well yeah, I'm white, and I'm gonna be wealthy as soon as my XiBucks arrive, I guess these libs really can see right through us

[-] build_a_bear_group@hexbear.net 31 points 1 year ago

I'll finally be wealthy once all these Soros-bucks/wages from the CCP/FSB stipends start showing up... Any day now.

[-] Zodiark@hexbear.net 29 points 1 year ago

i dont care for felix's voice or manchild persona.

honestly glad hexbear also outgrew that podcast.

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 23 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Agreed. Podcasters in general are obnoxious at best and tend to involve the whims of the comfortably affluent doing the podcasts, no matter what they claim to be.

[-] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 17 points 1 year ago

Don't besmirch all my personal friends like that kitty-cri

[-] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 11 points 1 year ago

I should have added "to me" to me calling them obnoxious. I may be an old man yelling at a cloud, but I can't help that. meemaw

Very few people want to admit that this is the end, the beginning of an imperial unraveling. I see all these debates over whether China is communist or not, whether they’re the fucking Third Reich or something ridiculous, or they’re the saviors of humanity. They all miss this very basic fact: China overcoming mass poverty on a scale we’ve never seen, China modernizing on the timeline and scale that it has, is the only generational human accomplishment of the last 30 years. That’s it. That’s the only thing anyone actually remembers in one thousand years if we’re still here...The United States, European Union, India, no one has any equivalent accomplishments...In America, though, you never hear about it.

Radlib v*ush (🤮🤮🤮) fans describing how pointing out that america is an imperialist misery machine is a magic spell to remove melanin from your skin and add dollars to your bank account: morshupls

[-] NoGodsNoMasters@hexbear.net 26 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

Wow this has got to be the first time anyone has ever accused Hexbear users of reading theory

[-] 420blazeit69@hexbear.net 25 points 1 year ago

"Nepo baby" apparently means anyone who has a family that is "at least well off," which of course is defined as whatever some asshole wants it to be.

[-] GnastyGnuts@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

As usual, they spend all this goddamn effort writing fan fiction about what the pinkos must really be like, when they could just respond to the shit we actually say and the evidence and sources we provide.

smuglord Or maybe they can't.

[-] Tomboys_are_Cute@hexbear.net 19 points 1 year ago

Didn't realise fires weren't real I guess

[-] Fuckass@hexbear.net 15 points 1 year ago

CTH has basically lost all relevancy here outside of the comm c/chapotraphouse which no one even notices or cares about. I think it’s very funny that CTH is now re-emerging as the boogeyman of lemmy just like it was for Reddit

These people are disgusting. Literally filled with rabid anti-communists, probably whipped up by fedposting

Thank you hexbear mods for keeping this space in a better place.

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
