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

Oblivious wolves. This was like the libs a while back using the Sartre quote about antisemitism to describe our incivility.

Saying "genocide is bad" is hate speech against fascists.

[–] JuryNullification@hexbear.net 63 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Actually, it’s only genocide when it’s not done by international-community-1international-community-2

Communism is when first world crackers make up utopias in their heads and then do nothing except criticize non-white countries

[–] Krem@hexbear.net 90 points 2 years ago (1 children)

the soviet union and china weren't communist. I also don't like scary angry communists like various independence movements around the world, they look like the people they call "terrorists" on the news. when I say I'm a communist I mean I want to have a nice real communist country like Sweden, where they have a semi-functional healthcare system and communist parties get 0.5% of the vote and the party that wants to make being a foreigner illegal gets 57.5%

"Totalitarian" is arguably the most meaningless word, ever. Also, imagine being haunted by the specter of a country that hasn't existed since probably before you were born. Oh no! The big bad soviets are going to rise from the grave and steeeeeal yooooour graaaaaaain!

An incredibly concentrated dose of stupidity in that thread. It's amazing. I don't even get what the point of being off Reddit is for those losers, they have the same critical thinking skills as the average redditor.

Truly. Imagine having a brain that works like this.

Hate speech is when you criticize Israeli colonialism and genocide according to Lemmy dot world.

They are aware that the majority of the world recognises the state of Palestine, right? The world is not Europe and the USA. Very ironic instance name.

What hatespeech? Every time I've been to lemmgrad it's been based. What are they posting hatespeech about?

Not braying for the genocide of Palestinians right now is considered hate speech by these libs

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 59 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

we always knew that their 'love' for xinjiang muslims was bullshit. they bray for the genocide of muslims everywhere, but suddenly xinjiang is an exception?

[–] BurgerPunk@hexbear.net 46 points 2 years ago

Uighurs were only allowed to be people in their eyes to make China look bad. And even then, its not like they wanted to actually do anything to help the Uighur people. All they even wanted out of believing in it happening was to say "China Bad." Even when they pretend to care about Muslims, they don't care that much

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The lib response to that is

Two things can be wrong at the same time, you're just a tankie brainwashed by Xi and Putler, or you're a wumao bot, because I can't comprehend real people disagree with me smuglord

It's now hate speech to say America is imperialist

For real though they probably mean pro-Palestinian language

lemmy.world is a joke, unbelievable how thin skinned they are

[–] Maoo@hexbear.net 60 points 2 years ago

Their admins are not thin-skinned, or at least that's not why they do these things. They're cynical and fascist. This is why they lie and fail to show receipts: if they grounded their claims in examples, they'd have to show the political decisions they're making around what counts as "hate speech" (treating Palestinians as humans deserving liberation, for example) and what does not (calls for genocide against Palestinians).

Lmao the only remaining left wing check against that place becoming a fully fascist shithole is now gone.

It is literally just going to be a nazi bar now. They will force them to speak in a certain way by policing language used, but they will all be nazis.

Oh no, it appears we are now in a 'circle-jerk' and are 'cloistering ourselves from reality on the internet', whatever will we do now without the insightful knowledge of "Um have you considered that maybe both sides are bad?" or "How can you blame liberals for this, its not like the President of the U.S. just gave the go-ahead for genocide, even going as far as to give them more and bigger bombs to do so?"
