When did we get a slammer emote lmao

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 18 points 8 months ago

Like 1-2 weeks ago i think

FYI this newspaper is considered left wing in the media spectrum

Also they're the biggest anti-China hawks, totally lost their minds over Xinjiang allegations

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 45 points 8 months ago

There's nothing more ironic than a French newspaper being called "Liberation"

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 26 points 8 months ago

There's a reason why there can't be a long-term socialism without national liberation, solidarity and cultural progressivism... with whatever this shit is...

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 8 months ago

Fr they should have called themselves "Colonizer Magazine"

[-] Tankiedesantski@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

"Liberation for me, but not for thee."

Pretty accurately sums up most demsoc center-left movements in the global north actually. They just want the spoils of colonial looting to be distributed more evenly, like thieves wanting a bigger cut of the prize.

Proof of horseshoe theory? Tankies be coping.

[-] Fishroot@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

The funny thing is Sartre, one of the founder of Libération eventually abandon the USSR when it went out of style for ''Maoism'' in the late 60s

[-] lil_tank@lemmygrad.ml 20 points 8 months ago

Scientists try to figure out why things tend to rot twice as fast when located in France

[-] Fishroot@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Maoism is a potent leftist black magic that can induce political brainrot, such as becoming right wing, apolitical, horrid geopolitical policies and pseudo-intellectualism to people with bad intentions

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

If you can catch people going down the Maoist pipeline before they get into a hardcore, "everyone is a revisionist but me" org they can remain cool and do good work.

[-] johnrobbespiere@lemmygrad.ml 7 points 8 months ago

Most of the leftists I encounter in my country that are not in the main party and the vocal sorts are all in this "hardcore, "everyone is a revisionist but me" org" sorta thing already it's kind of sad

[-] johnrobbespiere@lemmygrad.ml 11 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Doubly so because we also have actual armed maoists in the country who are illegal and these people call them revisionist too

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

Ah that sucks. Well at least you have some armed Maoists possibly doing good work? Around here the orgs that call themselves Maoist are 100% MLMs that rationalize themselves into near-complete inaction.

[-] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

Some? Like 70% of active leftist conflicts ongoing are led by Maoists. Let's be honest, they are doing the most work

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 6 points 8 months ago

Well I don't know where parent lives and it's hard to make assumptions. Some of the armed Maoist groups have problematic habits like picking violent fights with what they would call opportunists, like killing CPI(M) members in India. But there's a diversity of Maoists (including in India) internationally so it's hard to broad brush.

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Mao went very hard on the principle of “damn we gotta literally destroy everything before us because it sucked man” which I imagine would attract very angsty, emotional people. Most other theorists usually just explain the application of Marxism Leninism for their country and not expand it with original thought like Mao lol

[-] Fishroot@hexbear.net 3 points 8 months ago

Political defeatism is a real thing, especially with people who don't have a rational thinking that building something is hard and take time. People with Maximalist political orientation will eventually become disillusive of their beliefs because it's unrealistic. After awhile, they just realize that it is not the political ideologies that is important, it's power and the power express on other and they'll move to where the power is at.

All living things age faster in france to avoid being nonced by frenchmen

[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 48 points 8 months ago

What does this say? I don't read french on principle.

[-] emizeko@hexbear.net 49 points 8 months ago
[-] Hestia@hexbear.net 50 points 8 months ago

Fucking hell, making fun of a minority group's fasting practice when they're actively being starved to death is a special kind of evil. Infinite 9/11s for the french.

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 43 points 8 months ago

The french deserve a thousand charlie hebdos.

[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 17 points 8 months ago

Nope, we'll have another #jesuisliberation, instead there's need to be a lawsuit, make them go completely go broke and beyond

[-] Huldra@hexbear.net 20 points 8 months ago

To be fair, whats deserved and whats useful/practical are separate matters.

[-] Evilsandwichman@hexbear.net 38 points 8 months ago

Drawing goofy looking starving kids, can't imagine why so many people support Palestine.

[-] thelastaxolotl@hexbear.net 37 points 8 months ago
[-] Xx_Aru_xX@hexbear.net 35 points 8 months ago

I can imagine the smugness of the caricature maker the "ho hon hon zhese mussulmen sont trés stoupide! pour-qoui zey dont eat en le Ramadan! leur religion!"

[-] TechnoUnionTypeBeat@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago

Especially because I'm fairly sure fasting can be suspended in times of crisis, like y'know

A genocidal famine

[-] Beaver@hexbear.net 5 points 8 months ago

Muhammad was like "bro, you can eat, you need your strength" when his troops were at war.

...not that this publication requires any counter-argument beyond PPB

The French havent learned anything from last time they shat on muslims in their media?

[-] RyanGosling@hexbear.net 10 points 8 months ago

Westerners have an obsession with belittling Islam. In a vacuum, I wouldn’t care, but they’re especially obsessed with Muhammad. They think their drawings and insults are somehow protesting against extremism, but the only people who respond are the extremists resulting in mass violence. The ordinary Muslims just silently think the westerners are bastards and leave them alone. Great way to alienate people.

Libération is the tabloid that Jean paul Sartre founded

Also, cocoBOER

[-] SorosFootSoldier@hexbear.net 25 points 8 months ago

[-] Lemmygradwontallowme@hexbear.net 24 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

It’s amazing how extreme the inhumanity can be. For instance, a couple days ago I couldn’t fucking walk, so I sat on the sidewalk, leaning against a wall. Some dude had just refused to help me get ibuprofen (I offered to pay for it) because he “wasn’t going that way” (he “appreciated me” though, so I guess it’s all fucking great). This fucking yuppie shitwad on a Lime scooter said “Have you tried not being homeless?” as he whizzed on by.

There’s this little part of me that would love to show these insects how it feels to be chronically malnourished, or how it feels to have the shit kicked out of you by the very sort of person you thought was beneath you. But that isn’t me. I don’t want that to be me, anyways.

But if someone put a [hiss] in this cartoonist’s [silence] and set it off with his [beep] and [beep] in the [quack], I would just shrug.

[-] Egon@hexbear.net 16 points 8 months ago

I start sympathising more and more with those guys who visited Charlie Hebdo

[-] Maoo@hexbear.net 15 points 8 months ago

Euros don't characterize brown people as rats and bugs challenge: impossible.

[-] Vncredleader@hexbear.net 11 points 8 months ago

honestly just remove cartoonist from that.

[-] Quaxamilliom@hexbear.net 8 points 8 months ago

Isn't that from the Charlie Deadbo guys?

[-] barrbaric@hexbear.net 7 points 8 months ago
[-] Misanthropic_Stork@lemmy.ml 5 points 8 months ago

Figures, you can't spell Libération without lib. That reminds me of their affiliated video games podcast, Silence on Joue, which has an Israeli host that said on their Discord, in essence, that you can't make a Hamas omelette without breaking Palestinian eggs to justify the current genocide.

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
