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

Vaush is a debate bro who values winning arguments above all else, including on topics he knows nothing about. He is a chauvinist who supports the plight of minorities as long as they lick his boots. If they do not, he deems them “subhuman.” He is a self-admitted sexual harasser who gave a dubious apology. Despite describing himself as an anarcho-syndicalist and libertarian socialist, he does not want to abolish the government and he has admitted that his political project is nearly identical with that of social democrats. He has cultivated a cult of personality that deflects all criticism as “out of context” when he himself proudly maintains those positions as “based and high IQ.” Although most of his detractors are hardly better.

If you have a timestamped link that adds context, please let me know and I will add it.

“He who is reluctant to recognize me opposes me.”

his sub is full of libs, and they get banned from even r/socialism for not understanding that electoralism is liberal ideology

shit you actually have to have really shit takes to get banned from r/socialism.

[–] thelasthoxhaist@hexbear.net 3 points 4 years ago (2 children)

They even get banned from alltheleft, the only sub that likes them is breadtube

[–] anonymous_ascendent@hexbear.net 2 points 4 years ago (1 children)

Breadtube has gotten so bad. They will call you a tankie for suggesting America isn’t the shining pinnacle of civilization.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 3 points 4 years ago

So it's been a liberal-infested hellhole like it's always been. Sounds about white.

[–] Alaskaball@hexbear.net 2 points 4 years ago

breadtube, more like libtube. Guess that's just youtube in general.

It's clear from watching some of these videos that Vaush is an op, and that's further cemented by his imperialistic China v US takes. I've only started checking his stuff out recently, and I'm not even sure why there's a debate about him on the left. The guy seems to clearly be an asset, operating in a very relevant space for leftists (twitch, youtube, etc).
