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
It's almost like y'all libs are starting from your own political position, which is based on indoctrination, assumption, and zero reading, then projecting that out onto the people who oppose your political worldview by accusing them of the very things you yourself are guilty of.
Libs always do this. They can't help but be grossly chauvinistic in their conceptualisation of the world because if it's true for them then obviously it must be true for everyone else.
That ain't how it works, buddy.
Another lib who acts hostile towards the act of reading. Many such cases!
The people asking us to cite sources won't click the references on a Wikipedia article.
insert ten year old screenshot of some redditor posting "i'm going to get banned for this but fuck the see see pee" with ten thousand upvotes and a stack of awards from years after the original comment
If it can't be described in a quick listicle it must not be true
Hey, the State Department works really hard to distill disinformation into snappy talking points.
Remember when libs laughed at trump needing bullet points when staffers tried to give him documents and paperwork to read?
It has to be a Harry Potter speech or less.
The ultimate defense against Russian propaganda: refusing to read anything
We're all just arguing with the spirit of this megamind:
This one truly lives rent free in my mind at all times
I was literally just about to quote it in my other comment, too.
Every single liberal seems to be an offshoot of this moron
I'll let you cook. Let's see where this goes. Got my eye out though.
You've been arguing the same point here for weeks and you still think you'll be silenced just because everyone here is afraid of what you have to say? Are you going to keep repeating this every few weeks?
It's almost as if
It's weird that
It's funny that
I like it that
It's ironic that
smug liberals with nothing to say have to preface their nothing statements like the above to try to sound smug while saying nothing.
Lol. Lmao even.
Literacy and healthcare are the cornerstones of the socialist project. Our longest running group that meets regularly is our book club, which predates the existence of the site. Our most active members tend to be at least decently well-read in terms of communist theory. Even more if you expand to nerdy fiction.
I’ll bite.
I’m currently reading Inventing Reality by Michael Parenti. It’s an analysis of how, in capitalist societies, media companies consist of many stakeholders and natural social filters which influence the news to converge on simplified narrative versions of the truth which is biased in favor of capital. This process doesn’t need to happen through direct centralized conspiracy, but rather through interest convergence and socioeconomic in-group preference. It’s similar to Noam Chomsky’s work on the topic, but I prefer Parenti’s prose and structure.
I used to think this until I realized how many hours I spent reading and replying to long threads like this. This format is much more conducive to spreading falsehood than people recommending books.
There were people on r/t_d giving you book recommendations? I shudder at the thought.
The moment someone starts to recommend Julius Evola to you, that's when you reach for your gun
I’ve given a couple fascist texts a go just for shits and giggles and they’re always incoherent nonsense. The idea of esoteric fascism has always struck me as redundant.
Funnily enough, the only people i've seen reference fascist theory were well read communists. I did the same thing and took a dive into some of their theory to kind of make sense of what they think, but even stuff like strasserism seems absolutely absurd in how its supposed to work.
A hallmark or fascist prose is extremely bad prose, they just lack the ability to produce anything enjoyable to read
Look, ScrewdriverFactory’s can be so hard to put together from scratch and there’s several different ways to do it depending on your use case, so we needed a central location to formalize that institutional knowledge.
I guess that's on us to assume you're willing to read more than a pamphlet of text before forming an opinion.
MAYBE FUCKING READ A GODDAMN BOOK FOR ONCE IN YOUR LIFE, YOU AREN'T ILLITERATE, FUCKING READ SOMETHING YOU SHITHEAD
Im beginning to wonder if you're just genuinely incapable of being smart
