Seen this shit before with Reddit's most astroturfed poison producers: Monsanto.

"Then drink it. Right now. With the cameras on you." ecoterrorism

Whitey on the Moon used to really piss off "I FUCKING LOVE SCIENCE" Redditors to the point of many Youtube listings of it eventually shutting off comments.

Really vile cryptofascist shit too, like "enjoy your mud huts while we bring the light of consciousness to the stars." cryptofascist us-foreign-policy

I hate when I hear the key-jingling kayfabe from people, including on Hexbear, where they start talking about the unquestionable magic of reusable rockets or "the mission" or whatever to shut out any and all dissent against the space treats. not-listening

Someone got really pissed in the past when I called a preoccupation with rocketry no matter its expense or its mistaken resource priority as space treats. Fuck that. It's space treats, especially when it's performative bullshit to get people clapping like seals, like that car commercial in space a few years back.

Yes, there were fucking "the mission" excuses for that too, like "it was just a test payload, it could have been anything, why do you hate science?" morshupls

enjoy your mudhuts

I hate crakkkers and this type of racist fuckery. Europeans developed immunity to illnesses because they slept in pig shit in actual mud huts while throwing sewage into the streets outside their home that contaminated the drinking water. Like everywhere else on the planet figured out bathing and hygiene, but whites just wallowed around in actual feces. The Romans thought Brits, French, Germans, and everyone else in northwestern Europe were disgusting.

Here we are, centuries later, and their descendants have the audacity to attack other cultures' infrastructure. A lot of the time, it was Europeans who destroyed everything. It's really easy for them to focus on space when they stole everyone else's shit.

I was absolutely this kind scientism enjoyer. When I was a teenager. Then I realized that the better world it promised is not possible under capitalism, it requires communism. Advanced technology is a necessary but insufficient condition for that kind of world. The social order matters too.

What a great fucking track that really gets to the heart of the issue, thanks. I haven't listened to it in a long time, gonna spin up my Gil Scott-Heron flacs tonight

If you want another song critiquing the corruption of science, check out DLZ by TV On The Radio. I've already linked it somewhere in this thread.

Oh I'm jamming that now, got it on my deep storage

The whole album is a highlight, at a time in the mid to late 2000s when music labels were pushing a certain sound and aesthetic on bands (trying to turn everyone into some MCR pop punk scene clone, no hate to MCR I still enjoy their music, just hate towards the big labels), and TV On The Radio decide to do something completely different and drop one of the best albums of the decade.

[-] nat_turner_overdrive@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago

It seems like there's some kind of lib backlash against TV on the Radio, I don't get it because when I see criticisms I just close the tab

My dudes were cooking the whole-ass time and no notes

[-] aaaaaaadjsf@hexbear.net 3 points 2 weeks ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago)

Well you see the band criticized US policy on Israel and bailing out the banks in their songs, called out assimilation, and talked about making an album about killing Nazis, and that's just too far for the libs.

But yeah they were cooking up something good, but they were just ahead of the times so they never got the level of fame they should have.

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
