the_dunk_tank
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
As I've said. Liberals will implement Fascism just as hard (because Fascism is the end stage of capitalism), but, unlike committed Fascists, they'll whine insufferably about it.
Don't Be An Asshole vs Don't Be A Pussy thesis
"We're gonna have kids in cages on the border but you don't have to be an asshole about it!"
"We're gonna have kids in cages on the border but don't be a pussy about it!"
"We're gonna ship weapons to Israel to bomb Gazan children but we don't wanna be an asshole about it!"
"We're gonna ship weapons to Israel to bomb Gazan children but we aren't gonna be pussies about it!"
This is the extent of the "acceptable "American political landscape
Fascist is a word with an actual meaning
Proceeds to call the USSR a fascist regime
Each panels requires one to be clueless about politics outside of the right wing bubble. Every single issue has at last one example of Democrats taking action to address the issue.
NO IT DOESN’T YOU CANT JUST MAKE THINGS UP HOLY SHIT.
Taking action is when you pay lip service to the problems without changing things in any material way. Or like on student loans when you send something out there specifically to sink and then go "We'll evaluate our options and try again" and then just don't do anything else.
lol that fedora wearer said neoliberalism wasnt authoritarian
While conceding that it was doing all of the same things
So, uh… what was Chile from the mid‐1970s to 1990?
Crony capitalism!
Can I just take a moment to appreciate that y'all exist? I can't believe I once spent so much time on r/ and bombarded by liberal dogma....
Same, I've never felt so frenzied and news addicted while so completely helpless as I did when I was a daily r/politics reader. It's a corrosive, high strung place to be
Even just as an alternative to my neighbours it's great to have everyone here lol
Fascist is a word with an actual meaning. I know it’s fun to call the democrats fascists, but that’s incorrect and ridiculous.
You're right, they're a mixture of fascists and social fascists. Every liberal has been so thoroughly scratched at this point.
Ask them to define that word and you'll get the best dunk tank material ever. Liberals fundamentally do not understand how capitalism works and thus can't understand that fascism is just capitalism in crisis. Which makes it all fascism lmao
The worst offenders were, of course, from dot world. I wonder if lemmy.world has their own Jessica Ashoo on their admin team?
If anything Lemmy.World has been worse than Ashooh due to their extremely open and brazenly partisan banning and suppression of socialists. Reddit has hidden it behind layers of obfuscation and secondary policy that simply targets the left without it being open and obvious about it to the general audience. The neoliberals running dot world on the other hand have had absolutely none of this, they have openly stomped on the left's participation with the exact same fervor and brazenness as fascists.
Their goal isn’t to get people to vote Trump but push the democrats to work harder for their vote. They post in a gender queer instance.
Getting libs to see alternatives outside of the duopoly challenge - level: impossible.
I hope that both of the candidates end up with sudden gray matter ejection syndrome like jfk
Redistributing this line. Fucking gem.
I don't know, maybe the party that has done nothing but suck the GOP's dick for decades has no right to accuse anyone of "helping Trump".
Where the hell were you guys in trying to suppress the white vote? Queer people in Florida really could have used you guys to cut off aid to Florida and send in the military to wipe out the nazi protestors. The latter would at least intimidate enough people into leaving minorities alone.
