Nah, they know (hexbear.net)

For those who didn't play the game, the whole point of that segment was that even the most pristine, idyllic image of the Nazi-envisioned world reserved for the upper crusts of Americana and their useful servants sucks to live in. You listen into conversations which highlight the constant sense of dread and anxiety of maintaining their place in an ever-shrinking hierarchical strata. There's an upcoming "Changeover Day" which, in the words of the that one Nazi chatting with two Klan members, will "separate the wheat from the chaff". I'm pretty sure either the anime pfp Nazi never played the game or did but convinced themselves they'd thrive in this scenario.

The game was peak lib most of the time but it was quite poignant with its themes on Fascism and its American roots. It's a shame that the game that followed it up was so bad.

While it can depend upon the sorority, many sororities, particularly in the south, encourage a 'Party on Saturday, Pray on Sunday' attitude, where these social settings are where they are supposed to seek out husbands. In doing so, many of them will participate in fringe fashions that supposedly run counter to their 'conservative values', ultimately because they are not wholly adopted culturally or ideologically, but purely performatively. In doing this performance, this is part of the process that can potentially move these styles into the popular bourgeoise culture, because it is about the woman wearing the outfit, not the outfit wearing the woman.

Current feminist theory often discusses the contradictions this creates within a patriarchal society, as it is simultaneously a rejection from normative patriarchal definitions of fashion, but is simultaneously only acceptable within those norms, specifically within the male-gaze. Essentially, one can deviate, but only within the acceptable tolerance margins, and only for a specific time period.

Edit: I don't really buy into that personally. My personal opinion is that pretty much all values in the U.S. at this moment are mostly post-hoc rationalizations of reactionary nihilism, with maybe a skeleton of an ideological framework.

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
