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

no this makes perfect sense. see MLs have to agree and have hegemony of thought. Otherwise their whole plans fall apart. They can't disagree with each other. So they literally can't conceptualize dissent and internal critique as being positive. They are ideologues whose whole plan doesn't work if thye all don't have the same belifs. This would look like a war to them bc their ideal is everyone following the party line 100% of the time. And its a sign of failure if that doesn't happen.

Have they never seen us have a struggle session? Lmao

The only way a political movement can work is by making sure that literally no one agrees on what needs to be done.

Obviously.

Okay but that was quite literally the bolsheviks. Not a single member of the bolshevik leadership agreed on literally anything before Lenin died

diversity of thought, unity of action

And don't forget the part where they mount vicious struggle sessions to sacrifice anyone who is violating the hegemony in any way in order to terrify the remaining cultists into never straying from the program.

Questioning and changing your beliefs when new information is presented is so foreign to them, that the only explanation is to project your own cultish behavior to everyone else

Who's ideology was it that was named after conserving the hegemony?

I hope they post about this post about their post about hexbear's post about their post. Then a real discussion can start.

Why are you continuing to engage with these people?

[–] comrade_pibb@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago

Yeah, not ignoring this baby brain is the real dunkaroo

My favorite and least favorite habit of liberals on the internet is when they take out their pipe and pith helmet and begin to wax philisophical on the nature of the tankie brainpan

But yeah, not sure what else to expect from them, very dead-dove-1

Socialism has been cancelled, and it's because of crackers.

I would love to have leftypol style filters so that I could get rid of this terminally online nonsense from my timeline.

Liberals have all but two braincells.

Them calling Hexbear a raddle clone is proof enough.
