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

I wish the Unabomber was still alive to see this
His manifesto had curing diabetes as a sign that science "has gone too far"
in the same breath he says letting people have insulin is a similar problem
MKULTRA really did a number on this guy
"If a cure was developed for people with this condition, then they would be able to reproduce more people who could be easily cured. There can only be one conclusion from this: billions must die"
Nazism with environmentalist characteristics
LSD is a hell of a drug folks
when you understand genetics but don't understand biology well enough to get that most people reproduce well before diabetes would cause their deaths
The point is that nothing that kills someone after reproductive age is going to impact that trait surviving in the gene pool because they've already had kids, it's done
Hate hate hate how he gets glorified in meme culture. eco fashist rethoric is on the rise and people sharing "uncle ted" memes doesnt help
The whole intelligence bit to how his story is told is grating to me too. Regardless of if you agree that he was very intelligent, it's like when they talk up the charisma of serial killers and the like, they're just fetishizing these people.
how intelligent could he have been really, if he fell for this eugenicist nonsense?
he think he's so smart saying the eugenicist version of "billions must die" but somehow forgets that Gene Therapy and CRISPR babies will erase 99% of genetic disorders in less than century without needing any eugenicisms or state-enforced mass cullings. Yeah you'll have the weird homeschooling anti-vax crowd refusing to beastmark their unborn children or w/e, also those silly countries that refuse to give this to all citizens for free, but normal people are going to get their embryos augmented plus pay extra for anime eye colors like purple.
