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

Bakunin also thought that the American north was oppressing the south by forcing them back into the union

Dude was dumb as hell and that isn't sectarianism. Kropotkin, from what I've read, has not had any absurd takes like this.

don't look up "Bakunin jews"

[–] Tunnelvision@hexbear.net 65 points 8 months ago (8 children)

Damn that is definitely one of the worst takes of all time and almost indistinguishable from what a dumbfuck chud would say today.

Meanwhile, Marx wrote a letter to Lincoln encouraging him to keep fighting to end slavery.

Really nailing the condescending aristocrat way of thought. Proles have no minds of their own, so if Marx "lost" a debate they would all abandon marxist communism in favour of anarchists because that's what the people who think decided.

[–] PaX@hexbear.net 58 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Also Marx would have never lost a debate

Note: I have no idea what debate this is referring to

[–] PaulSmackage@hexbear.net 41 points 8 months ago (1 children)

You can't lose if you never stop lmao

very great man of history too. Bakunin was such a powerful high level debatelord that surely he would have pushed the tides in his favor!

[–] culpritus@hexbear.net 93 points 8 months ago

The world might be very different is Musk had made it to Mars on time and enabled the billionaire faction to die in space.

Bakunin's views on the Jewish Question are what really brought Musk on board

That has to be one of the silliest quotes of all time and if he had said that in front of Marx he would've been laughed into hell.

smuglord Um excuse you, that's the Tesla brand stick, it's much higher quality and more expensive than your plebian stick, you can tell by the crisp dark bruises it leaves on me

Musk unironically identifying as an ancap would be so fucking funny. Vibes based political order.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 51 points 8 months ago

Elon Musk is incredibly stupid, holy shit

[–] Comradesexual@lemmygrad.ml 50 points 8 months ago (1 children)

What kind of bullshit is this?

[–] Posadas@hexbear.net 64 points 8 months ago (37 children)

What can I say, his antisemitism really spoke to Musk.

Elon was advanced on the divorce guy pipeline before he even got divorced.

Got real into sports cars, got hair plugs, started ranting about wokeness, made some terrible purchases out of spite, got really into swords/guns, now he's a spiraling anti-semitic conspiracy theorist

It's quite astonishing how they all follow the same path. Real NPC hours.

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 36 points 8 months ago (1 children)

real into sports cars

I'm divorced? cri

This man found ways to be stupid never before thought possible.

lmao Musk becoming a mutualist or something is going to be great discourse. Can't wait until mainstream news has to teach everybody the difference between egoism and syndicalism when describing the richest man on Earth

Hmm, weird. Makes me think there may be an actual real life example of Anarchists being incredibly silly, totally failing, then having soviets come in to pick up the pieces. Maybe in Munich in 1919?

[–] Great_Leader_Is_Dead@hexbear.net 32 points 8 months ago

Resist... temptation... to do... sectarianism!!!
