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

Idk about y’all, but I like it when the fascists are stupid enough to out themselves to the world.

My thoughts exactly - I want my enemies to have a uniform to be pointed, named and shamed at.

remember in world war 2 when the Allies defeated the nazis by naming and shaming them?

[–] NephewAlphaBravo@hexbear.net 91 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I love how everyone's like "I like knowing who the nazis are!" and absolutely zero ideas on what to do about them

Wait for a chosen one to show up and defeat their leader, like in Harry Potter. galaxy-brain

This got me thinking. The common trope in Hollywood movies and shows is that, once the good guy wins, he usually shows mercy to the villain, and the villain sees the error of their ways and everyone gets along, or at least the conflict is resolved. I don’t hate this message of grace in principle. However, history has shown that this kind of behavior is never rewarded. If the loser is given an opportunity for an unlikely comeback, they will take it. Maybe this is part of why these neolibs don’t know what to do once they’ve caught a villain? It’s like thinking death always looks like someone croaking out epic final words before literal X’s replace their eyes, or that the entirety of sex is just when you kiss your crush and the studio audience goes “ooOOOOOoooo”

Harry Potter is a psyop

Operation Paperclip but for magic nazis. galaxy-brain

voooooooote them out! whats that? Hitler won with 33% of the votes bc liberals enabled the fascists and would rather form a coalition w them than with the communists? nah, hitler won bc the communists went to far actually and were trying to restrict freeze-peach very-intelligent

They're not the most perceptive bunch, they actually need people to seig heil in order to differentiate from themselves.

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 66 points 1 year ago (1 children)

isnt the point of outlawing it that now you can do something about fascists outing themselves to the world? ffs liberals are so spineless

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 61 points 1 year ago (1 children)

frfr. they secretly love the fascists bc who else would kill the communists?

[–] FunkyStuff@hexbear.net 39 points 1 year ago (1 children)

objectively the left wing of fascism, capitalism in decay, the oppression of imperialism turned inwards, etc etc.

[–] ZoomeristLeninist@hexbear.net 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

naw theyre the mainstream wing of fascism. social democracy is the moderate wing of fascism

there is nothing “left” abt fascism, hence the Stalin quote abt social democracy

ik what u mean tho, these ppl def think that they’re left wing
