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

New type of guy: People who haven't read Marx bullying other people for not having read Marx.

Like that's not as old as Marx putting pen to paper

They probably don't even realize Israel started the Six-Day War. Plus, the invasion of Lebanon in 2006 didn't exactly go well despite Israel's massive military advantage.

Marx said might is necessary, he never said might makes right

Marxist Leninists: rigidly anti imperialist, also the only school of thought that analyses imperialism from the real factors that create it and keep it reoccuring

Pro state power anarchist: Marxism is pro imperialism

I think it’s just baby-brained “Marxism is when you want power and you take it by any means necessary” understanding that Jordan Peterson and James Lindsay spew.

[–] roux@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think that user has ever read Marx.

They think Marx is when his private property is taken away from them

[–] roux@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

same sort of person that thinks that private property is their PS5 or shoes.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago

'Right to exist' obtained by denying others of their right to exist.

Also, Israel have been treating Holocaust survivors like trash so

[–] OprahsedCreature@lemmy.ml 13 points 2 years ago

Can't have genocide survivors telling people what it's like, people will start to connect the dots.

when marx was talking about how rights are won by the people through struggle and not gifted by the ruling class this was not what he meant

[–] bennieandthez@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 2 years ago

Lol i love how they frame it as if they didnt receive support from the british empire, literally the most powerful nation at that moment.

[–] sharedburdens@hexbear.net 33 points 2 years ago

Dialectical might is right ism

[–] privatized_sun@hexbear.net 31 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

The international working class, as the mightiest class in human history, is right and based to crush reactionary obstacles to liberation such as ethno-nationalist collaborators with finance imperialism.

Also get that person here we need to catch more trans people

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Of everyone I have met on left twitter there are like 2 that would be a good fit for this website lol. And this is definitly not one of them if you check her profile.

[–] autismdragon@hexbear.net 22 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I can't quiet get a grip on her ideology but like most people on left twitter theres a lack of support for AES that just wouldnt mix well here. There's a lot of weird dogmatism and ultraism on left Twitter. Some folks are nice anyway but I cant stand the political line of like 95% of them lol.

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 14 points 2 years ago

Even more reasons to abduct them tbh, gotta give them some Feinberg

[–] saladpresser@hexbear.net 24 points 2 years ago

Because existing is the same as genociding the natives so you can take their land.

[–] D61@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago

Those "four countries" didn't actually invade Isn't-real, they massed troops and had some small skirmishes but there was no commitment to a large scale invasion/occupation attempted.
