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

Elon musk reads Reddit posts from people who read blog posts from people who read a quarter of a Wikipedia page on theory and then fill in the gaps with their own ideology

[–] chungusamonugs@hexbear.net 41 points 2 years ago

I'm not convinced elon musk is literate, let alone capable of reading anything more thought provoking than Harry Potter

I am once again asking you to read Georg Lukacs - The Destruction of Reason-Penguin Random House LLC (Publisher Services) (2021).epub 0.9 MB https://files.catbox.moe/w2jp94.epub

[–] dumpster_dove@hexbear.net 40 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Noooo don't destroy Reason-Penguin!

"What's that, Nietzsche? Shut the fuck up!" rust-darkness I say to the crank-head pedo before my partner unloads three rounds into his dome

Words can't describe how much I want Elon strapped to one of his shitty rockets and sent on a course to the sun

[–] GrouchyGrouse@hexbear.net 1 points 2 years ago

Too much rocket fuel to send it into the sun. Just send him up high enough that he burns up upon reentry.

Plus then you get to make a wish on a falling star.

I've read both extensively, but haven't watched either movie.

I don't understand the meme. Marxists get doomer, Nietzscheans get cooler?

halp

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

The meme has no actual meaning to anyone who knows anything.

But Musk thinks this meaningless combination of words and imagines is insightful because it combines intellectual(tm) terms with the latest movie and just goes full on so-true

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

Okay, that's what I thought. Thank God.

I thought for a second that Musk knew something about Marx and Nietzsche that I didn't know and I couldn't bear it.

[–] da_gay_pussy_eatah@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yeah see I didn't have that problem, and I think your mistake is lending any credence to anything Elon ever says.

[–] anarchoilluminati@hexbear.net 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Well, I don't really, but I don't know if he's reposting or if it's his own content.

If he's reposting, then maybe I missed something.

[–] da_gay_pussy_eatah@hexbear.net 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

sorry that came across as kinda bitchy my bad lol, i was just trying to shit on my-hero

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

Haha No worries. Just wanted to clarify too.

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

It's nonsense

Elon Musk reading:

This is funny. I don't understand what any of it is supposed to mean and i think that's a good thing

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

Translation:

Marxists exiting their ideological bubble:

A look of horror at how incorrect Marx was

Serious intellectuals reading Marx:

A look of smug superiority at how incorrect Marx was

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

When I see the word Nietzcheans I think of the weird offshoot human culture in the 00s TV show Andromeda it's not like there are real people who describe themselves as Nietzcheans, right? anakin-padme-2

Hey, look everybody, it's a NERD! farquaad-point

[–] mayo_cider@hexbear.net 7 points 2 years ago

The only reason I believe Musk can read and write is twitter

[–] Raebxeh@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

Jokes on you that’s how Marxists always look
