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

I understand this to be an official endorsement of racism from the mod team at shitjustworks

Enjoy this attempt to find a single non-racist among our new friends

Its like watching a 5 round fight where the loser never landed a punch. He had no framework to even contemplate a defence to what you were saying

On the face of it it's so bloody unimportant - you can't post a picture of winnie the pooh? That is truly the most oppressed anyone has ever been in history.

And then you actually examine all of the articles they have - every single citation is just "reportedly" "allegedly" "this happened to one student" ass primary sources. I've never actually looked into this in depth until now (because I actually lived in China and of course saw the fucking bear everywhere), in my mind they had more convincing propaganda than that.

E.g.

“He’s propagating the issue, and frankly, I think he’s humiliated himself by being so childish about it,” says Deb Hoffmann, who holds the world record for the largest collection of Winnie the Pooh memorabilia. “If he would’ve just let it go, it would have died down by now. Plus, if the idiot knew anything, he would be delighted to be compared to Winnie the Pooh. After all, Winnie the Pooh is a very good-hearted, wonderful, thoughtful person. Being compared to Winnie the Pooh is actually quite the compliment!”

This may be the most guts-rage shit, how they invent reality and then react to what they imagined. The making up a guy to get mad at model of journalism. Also, this person quoted is literally just a collector of marketable slop? Why would I care what they think?

Oh, I see you learned about that gaggle of Anglo barbarians today. You have my sincerest condolences.

Federating with sh.it.piss.balls was even dumber than federating with the Wehraboos at lemm.pee.

Did our users vote in favor of this shit to prove that electoralism is a fuck? Because congratulations, you've proven once more that it is. We need more democratic centralism up in this mfer and defed that stain of an instance immediately, what the hell did you expect from this? Almost any not openly leftist sub that is fine federating us is some freeze-peach horseshit and will always have way too many reactionaries to let them in here. You privileged fucks could show a minimum of respect for the vulnerable part of our userbase that these people come to harass here, but no, actually taking care of your queer,neurodivergent and racialized comrades is too much when it inconveniences you by giving you less opportunity to "dunk on libs". Make an account there when you want to do that. Don't bring this here.

Hey don't look at me, I voted against federating with them both times

[–] AcidSmiley@hexbear.net 39 points 2 years ago (2 children)

As a token of gratitude, i award you two democracy spider stickers i-voted i-voted

[–] PM_ME_YOUR_FOUCAULTS@hexbear.net 36 points 2 years ago

This is literally the most benefit I've ever gotten out voting

i think the admin team prob could use some expanding and to be faster to use the banhammer tbh. i dont think the admins are generally privileged though, a lot are trans too.

ive noticed a number of trans people on other instances popping into /c/traa at least, and some even made accounts because of /c/traa and it hitting their front page.

You did a whole lot of scratching there. Including the mods lol. Interesting how mods on all those "leftist", "tolerant", "antiracist", "pro-LGBT" instances seems to be very tolerant to racism, fascism, homophobia, but will ban anyone pointing out that they are.

[–] WaterBowlSlime@lemmygrad.ml 35 points 2 years ago

I'm surprised they're still federated with us considering they made that community. I guess it's because they otherwise wouldn't be able to see our posts

[–] sharedburdens@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago (1 children)

mmmm-mods help someone is here making me think about racism in my midst! remove this miscreant at once!
