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

OH MY FUCKING GOD, these fucking people are the ones who complain about "tankie" censorship while simultaneously banning anyone who doesn't adhere to their anticommunist unfalsifiable orthodoxy. They use the same talking points all the time, which we've debunked COUNTLESS TIMES, and REFUSE to listen to any points we make. It's really hard to interact with people when they themselves are the ones who've been poisoned by so much propaganda they automatically refuse any good-faith discussion.

Every time I see an asterisk now my mind fills in "Latest Fad".

I have gained a lot of sympathy for the comrades who post here from lemmy.ml. That place is rancid holy smokes, the entire thread is full of some of the most bazinga brain libs I've seen in my life. Extremely weird understanding of politics, double standards for what counts as censorship, absolutely 0 effort to try to understand what Dessalines is trying to say, no consistency in terms in general. I'm so glad I only have to see the 1/400 people that come here rather than existing in that space. Literally worse than /r/neoliberal.

Yeah, it's like they left reddit because it wasn't reddit enough for them. No idea how anyone can tolerate putting up with them, though those that do, do great work, I've seen a lot more lemmy accounts actually learning stuff thanks to them.

they linked the wikipedia article for Tankie lmao what a closing argument

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 89 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (4 children)

It's a real goofy time over there, haha. A lib tried to Ultra me and tell me Lemmy is Capitalist because posting is Value, and asserted that I haven't read Marx, only being exposed to Lenin via memes.

Deeply unserious people.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 55 points 2 years ago (1 children)

tell them to make a hexbear account and try to prove their point here

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 42 points 2 years ago

If they try to swing back again I will, but I think they finally realized how cooked they are.

That, or they were trolling the entire time to make me look better, but it's .world so I doubt it lol

[–] Justice@lemmygrad.ml 48 points 2 years ago (1 children)

If a website (like Twitter or facebook) make money off ads and our posts bring viewers to ads then yeah us posting creates value in some way for the capitalists who own the websites.

I don't think lemmy has ads though? I never see them if it does.

Wtf was their point anyway? "You claim to hate capitalism, yet you participate in capitalism. Curious!" posting? Classic reactionary dipshittery

[–] Cowbee@lemmy.ml 46 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Lemmy has no ads whatsoever, it's FOSS. Some Lemmy apps do, like Sync.

Their point seemed to be that the devs are actually hypocrites and admins are basically bourgeoisie.

"Guys did you know there are leftists online?!?!?"

[–] goferking0@lemmy.sdf.org 76 points 2 years ago (1 children)

They learn from who they are worshipping. Exactly how the CCP control the narratives.

With no hint of irony

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 44 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago) (2 children)

It's always accusations of worshipping, simping, praising and fellating from these people. If someone could explain the sexual pathology at play here, I would be very grateful

Of course dot world whips up a red scare over the dev team the day before we release the next version of Lemmy.

A damn link to US Congress. Wow I posted a burgerland.gov link, my point has been proven; how will tankies ever recover from this?

[–] highalectical@lemmygrad.ml 51 points 2 years ago (2 children)

But also, state media from the bad country is categorically deceptive.

[–] PoY@lemmygrad.ml 34 points 2 years ago

Not to stir the pot but wasn't this known? Besides "socialists" write better software than fascist any day of the week.

[–] Gay_Tomato@hexbear.net 52 points 2 years ago (1 children)

The liberals of lemmy have the collective memory of a toddler.

[–] blindbunny@lemmy.ml 42 points 2 years ago

So regular liberals?

[–] queermunist@lemmy.ml 36 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Literally why I moved from .world to .ml last year, I didn't want to be on one of the redditeur instances.

if they're so concerned about free speech they should let lemmygrad and hexbear back into their lists

Cant wait for when sublinks drop and see lemmy.world die by trying to force their users and comms to switch to it and them just leaving for another instance

I hadn't put it together yet, but I'm realizing that "tankie" is just the liberal version of "woke". Much like conservatives call anyone left of them "woke", liberals call anyone left of them "tankie".

I don’t know why we are expected to spend any amount of time engaging with this infantile garbage. Who let them out of the kiddie pool? Now they are spewing their putrid shit all over the adults’ table. I’m not having a discussion with these entitled manchildren, they have nothing to say that’s worth listening to.

Think of it this way, would you spend hours trying to argue with a toddler who thinks the moon is made of cheese?

Have they decided on a definition yet? Trying to work out if they'd consider me one
