I don’t really think he knows this site’s culture at all. No one is dissuading people from reading theory lol
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
this mirrors the same angle when people got disillusioned that the leftist comedy podcast didn't want to involve itself in "actual politics" and was content to just do comedy podcast stuff; as if them doing it would mean that everyone listening to the comedy podcast would transmute them into contributors to the cause rather than passive listeners to some guys making some jokes
same here, why isn't the pig poop balls website (that sprung around said comedy podcast) more involved into "actual politics" therefore making my posting be active contribution to the politics of the nation, rather than a place to post pig poop balls countdown gifs to the libs wandering in telling us about whatever insane shit radio free asia made up this week
this comment like all my comments on this site are just my little part towards the emancipation of a revolutionary working class. not that i'm some kind of hero of the working class or anything and i will vigorously debate anyone who would call me that. it is just the humble contribution of that kind of person who doesn't ask for greatness but on whom it is thrusted. excuse me i must go stand in the hall by the bathroom with my fist in the air while I listen to another rendition of the internationale. 3 times every day i find a new version to listen to. it really keeps me in touch with comrades around the world and prevents burn out while i do this gruelling but important work. then i will return and refresh my notifications.
