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

MODERATORS
 

Translation:

My personal opinion, for those who are interested, is that these two instances (Hexbear and Lemmygrad) are filled with what we call here nazbols, tankies, or even left-wing fascists.

They are primarily authoritarians who like to call themselves leftist, but use the same tools, have the same political vision, the same organization, and politically and historically tend to ally with “official” fascists as soon as a truly revolutionary leftist movement emerges.

I found it tolerable to “do nothing” as long as they stayed in their corners, but I had somewhat forgotten that an authoritarian remains an authoritarian and that the only place they deserve is down a well, not forgetting to strike the hands that try to escape with a big stick.

They also said, talking about Hexbear, that keeping it a safe space for transgender people is disgusting, fetishizing, and authoritarian.

They're a crazy rightoid that for some reasons refuses to recognise it. They'll probably say it wasn't transphobia, but just a sick reference to the Avengers that we're too dumb to understand, or some crap like that.

Edit: Oh and they also said that there is no doubt that the Uyhgur genocide is real, because China is culturally genocidal. You can't make this shit up.

I knew about the sinophobia (because they made that claim to me lol) but transphobia too? Unsurprising, just disgusting.

[–] Pili@hexbear.net 25 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Right here:

Translation:

"It came from the statement made in the thread that hexbear was 'aggressively pro-trans,' which seemed quite disgusting and fetishizing to me. This aligns with the rest of the authoritarian theme of the instance, you might say, having the perspective that one must make a superhuman effort to allow a minority to use a space."

Stop making efforts to create a safe space, it's authoritarian!! angry-hex

Holy shit, that's monstrous. Hexbear is extremely anti-chaser and recommends theory like The Gender Accelerationist's Manifesto, and Anansi's response is that protecting trans individuals is "disgusting, fetishizing, and authoritarian?" Unsurprising from this clown

[–] frauddogg@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Honestly "anansi" is probably a chaser himself. He's already a racist, fascist colonizer; you can't convince me he's not a walking hat trick of foreign Kyle-assed fuckery.

magic-conch-shell signs point to "yes"

Would be the least surprising news about them.

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 15 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Wow that is just an incredible, incredible take.

So... A good chunk of Hexbear's moderation staff are trans. And the trans community aggressively hunts down and purges transphobes on the site with the full support of not-trans members...

And that is somehow fetishization.

This person has a brain palace of great beauty and wonder. I wish to study it.

Seriously though jfc what the hell even is this?

Somebody fetch the calipers and the doming hammer, I think I'm about to bring back phrenology but as applied to hwhites

POV: You're Anansi

So he's basically saying here that in his ideal commune if you're trans or from another marginalized group you can die on his watch and he won't care, there won't be any hate crime laws -- even liberal society is better on this than him.

You're joking, you're joking; I can't believe my eyes.

You're kidding me, you've gotta be; no way the guy who belongs to a vicious culture of 500 years of colonialism, slavery, resource extraction, and fascist collaboration is fixing his face to call China culturally genocidal. The guy from the country that shoots Afrikan kids the minute they try to get in the way of frog resource extraction? Top-500 rank projection, istg.

To defend their point about China they said that the "colonization" of Xinjiang was attested under imperial dynasties. They hate flags and nations until it suits them. But like if there was ONE nation that absolutely did not follow with their past... it was China.

[–] Cowbee@hexbear.net 20 points 1 week ago (1 children)

What the fuck? Incredibly disgusting racism. france-cool

[–] Frank@hexbear.net 10 points 1 week ago

Oh... that does explain some things.

Honestly I've been downright gentle with these frog motherfuckers. Not like Camus didn't perform the single greatest act of self-snitching in history; conflating my "I want every frog who ever fixed their face to jawn on the motherland swinging by their ankles" with "you advocate for the destruction of millions of French" like, my man, my cracker, my little colonoid polyp, are you implying that millions of cracker-assed frogs say the kinds of shit about my people that you do?

Fuck these honkey cousinfuckers, I swear to god. Habsburgism must've chewed their brains generations ago; they don't understand the deleterious effects of colonialism, they don't understand why those they colonize despise them, they don't even understand why this circlejerk session of theirs is wrong. I genuinely think there's some kind of cracker-borne developmental issue affecting an entire nation there at this point.
