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

What exactly does sexual liberation and equal rights mean to this person?soviet-hmm

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago

Sex for me and not for thee?

[–] oregoncom@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Charitably, they mean a man can fuck dudes without it being gay because the concept of gay didn't exist.

[–] ashinadash@hexbear.net 12 points 2 years ago

It's not gay if the proletariat is sexually liberated

[–] Drewfro66@lemmygrad.ml 9 points 2 years ago

If I had to give them the benefit of the doubt: that prior to Western Capitalism (Imperialism, etc.), being queer (in whatever way; being attracted to the same gender, identifying with a gender other than your agab, not fitting in with either gender's norms, etc.) was not an "identity" the way it is today; that, like with race, the distinction is made to otherize and oppress (though, of course, while that oppression is happening, those identities can also be a rallying point for those oppressed cultures themselves).

[–] BeamBrain@hexbear.net 30 points 2 years ago (2 children)

LGBT itself is a concept created by western capitalists to divide the working people

What the proletariat wants is sexual liberation and equal rights

wtf-am-i-reading

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 17 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sexual liberation is when straight people fuck a lot

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Sexual liberation is when I awooga at women in bikinis

Me when I see a dame with a big pair of bazongaz

When youre almost there but in the last mile cut the wheel hard, careening through the front windows of a pre-k daycare because you're angry that you're "not allowed" to say the n-word or call people slurs in casual conversation

The second comment especially shows the complete lack of investigation of the commenter as it is directed towards Alunyanneгs, a comrade who lives in the global south

@jlyws123@lemmygrad.ml

The concept of being gay didn't exist before western capitalists and was created to divide the proletariat? Are you out of your fucking mind?

[–] corgiwithalaptop@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago (1 children)

[@jlyws123@lemmygrad.ml

Get in here and explain yourself coward

[–] Awoo@hexbear.net 21 points 2 years ago (1 children)

In what specific year of history did the capitalists invent being gay @jlyws123@lemmygrad.ml ?

[–] kristina@hexbear.net 20 points 2 years ago

In 2008 Obama gayed America with Islam

I love how every picture from a non Western country is always some military or police figure or building behind some scary looking object like a fence or a wall. Even though the fence in this picture is clearly decorative, and the person in the picture is clearly in symbolic dress uniform. Nothing about what's happening in the scene is functional for defense or control, it's all decorative or symbolic, but western media always uses pictures like this to evoke some feeling of fear. It's so disgustingly hilariously obvious and they always do it. I'll never forget years ago some picture was floating around about some evil secret government camp, when it turns out the photographer literally put their camera in a drainage ditch to make it look like there was a wall, and used all sorts of gray filters to make it look bleak. When in reality it was just a nice building right beside a nice city block.

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

during the first half of your comment I was thinking "I gotta find that picture showing them putting the camera in the drainage ditch" and then you mentioned it. GOOD post

I tried but failed, I'm having trouble because I don't remember much about the article itself so keywords are hard to come up with

I haven't given up but it's gonna be pure luck to find anything given how trash web search is now

[–] jabrd@hexbear.net 16 points 2 years ago

The inevitable conclusion of libs using "but those brown people would kill you for being queer" to justify continuing to bomb the brown people. Thank you liberals for continuously using minority groups as your scape goat to do whatever evil thing you were already doing and getting them more vilified in the process. You are super cool and we are all grateful to get to watch you lose elections on our behalf big-cool

how did lemmygrad let this clown in

[–] CannotSleep420@lemmygrad.ml 16 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Every blue moon you'll get a user who's been around for awhile who's only chimed in on the geopolitics stuff come out of nowhere with shit like this.

[–] Yurt_Owl@hexbear.net 19 points 2 years ago (3 children)

We've had our fare share. Some lasted years then I guess one day they woke up and decided they wanted to partake in the worlds shittest takes contest.

[–] a_blanqui_slate@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Imagine anyone think they have a shot against me in that competition.

[–] voight@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, your takes aren't even bad half the time.

It's more akin to a dog advising you on how to get treats from their owner whose house you have broken into.

You don't have enough time to figure out why the dog is talking in this situation, even if it is mildly interesting. Its advice is also unlikely to help.

I have to fave this bc i believe in communicating thru slapped together custom memes but it's hard to read + amazon prime show iirc + random screenshot of a social media-based organism that couldn't survive outside a lab

[–] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 11 points 2 years ago

Not being informed enough or not reading theory then just getting around through vibes alone the one day they get unlucky and their vibe are off and miss

[–] keepcarrot@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

I only post about tanks, no one will know!

Folks, they're not bringing their best!

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

See, this is what happens if you don't ban people based on their transphobic votes on posts and comments. Now I know there's 13 accounts on there that are absolutely rotten with brainworms. Uphold Transcomrade69-thought!

[–] zed_proclaimer@hexbear.net 15 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

While a bad viewpoint that’s not what social-chauvinism means and is in fact the opposite. Social-chauvinism is when you are pro-imperialist for your own country. This person is obviously not an imperialist and thus not a social-chauvinist, just a person with reactionary views

For clarity, I'm stretching the useage of Chauvinism here. While you're correct that Lenin is referring to imperialists dressing their imperialism in leftist garb, Chauvinism, in general, is any kind of belief in the superiority of one's group over another.

OP clearly thinks they're better then the queers and our supposed bourgeois decadence.

I think leftists can have a little word play, as a treat

[–] axont@hexbear.net 9 points 2 years ago

Yeah Lenin was specifically talking about parties in Europe that were supporting their respective country's war efforts WW1 while also calling themselves socialists. Completely incoherent goofballs.

[–] Frogmanfromlake@hexbear.net 10 points 2 years ago

My right-wing uncle says stupid shit like this. Claims that the US and EU are trying to queer the global south as a form of genocide because they're scared of our rising birthrates.

[–] Grimble@hexbear.net 8 points 2 years ago

this Gay bullshit makes me argue with my wife a lot so someone must've invented it to trick me

The combination of that avatar and this take is giving me a headache
