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

It's easy to call Lysenko a murderous snakeoil-selling dumbass, which he was, but this was what 99% of genetist were upto in those days.

If only genetics hadn't been discovered by imperialist pale demons

This is about H.G. Wells, not Orson Welles. Might want to fix the title (unless I'm missing a joke).

HG Wells certainly has spouted capitalism apologia, but this specifically reads very much like an intentional, satirical mocking of eugenics.

[–] RNAi@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Idk where is this from but it states HG was pro eugenics

lol literally the only time a PMC holocaust technician will be held accountable is if they don't lift a finger to help their class from the cruel and evil workers dictatorship!

It's such a shame...nobody would remember this wanker unless his two too crappy books were memed for their anti-communist propaganda!

That's Jorjor, I'm talking about Eichshi

[–] Salmarez@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Shit, you're right (as usual)! Sorry!

OK, now I am getting depressed, because I thought Orson Welles was better than George Orwell! At least we still have Hemingway(?).

[–] Salmarez@hexbear.net 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

OK, I confused Orson Welles with H.G. Wells! Sorry for the fuck ups! What no theory does to a volcel!
