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

The US is the Fourth Reich and the two flavors of politics are Nazi and Nazi in Flower Headband.

I have seen a flood of liberal vomit for months now. Its just so gross. Here's an example :

They know they won't care about Palestine after 2025 because they're already not caring about it before 2025.

[–] ShimmeringKoi@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago (3 children)

These fucks don't think about Palestine now

The lesser evil is still evil

And it's debatable if they even are truely any less evil than the GOP. Both are bad and should be opposed, not compromised with. They have blood on their hands.

The Democrat and the Republican both agree to the airstrike. The explosion kills innocent bystanders. The Republican gleefully says "fuck 'em." The Democrat solemnly says "collateral damage was unavoidable."

Is it bad to say that I genuinely hate liberals more than the far right

[–] frauddogg@lemmygrad.ml 59 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (1 children)

Nope. Not at all; in fact, I'd say that means you have a working sense of indignance and contempt because cracker democrats will smile in your face as they try and cudgel a vote out of you. The real sickening part is the moment it processes that their approach doesn't and will not work on you? That's when they get more hateful, more racist, more -phobic than the far right.

If you're Black, they'll tell you that not voting for them is a vote for everyone you love getting put up a tree by 'Trumpers'. When more than half of the dead Black martyrs over the last fifteen years have been slabbed out by Northerner cops in supposedly-Democrat cities; when it's been Democrats funnelling PDs military surplus via 1033, when it's been Democrats drafting up the plans for Cop Cities in the first place.

If you're any kind of Middle-eastern, bc trust, these crackers can't tell the difference, they'll invoke the subway attacks and random shootings that settlers keep orchestrating on ANYONE they think is Palestinian.

If you're any kind of LGBTQ, they'll invoke Project 2025 and breathlessly pearlclutch about how you'll lose everything the movement has gained if you don't support their genocide, because no one in the middle east has your rights like you do right here. Despite western Pride both not being a necessity to the outer world, AND already having been pinkwashed by cops and corporates thanks to the weak-link white gays to the point that if you look just across the pond at blahaj.zone, they're already eagerly slobbing on Democrat low quarters and we're only halfway through August.

And then, after all that, if their cudgeling still doesn't work? That's when they wish everything they just said on you directly, like some kind of peckerwood malediction. At least a fascist won't try to present himself as a friend just to take the mask off when it's clear I'm not buying what he's selling.

I have almost reached the regrettable conclusion that the Negro's great stumbling block in his stride toward freedom is not the White Citizen's Counciler or the Ku Klux Klanner, but the white moderate, who is more devoted to "order" than to justice; who prefers a negative peace which is the absence of tension to a positive peace which is the presence of justice; who constantly says: "I agree with you in the goal you seek, but I cannot agree with your methods of direct action"; who paternalistically believes he can set the timetable for another man's freedom; who lives by a mythical concept of time and who constantly advises the Negro to wait for a "more convenient season."

At least the fash is honest about being pieces of shit. Liberals wants you to pretend they're the good guys.

[–] josie@vegantheoryclub.org 32 points 2 months ago

Pretty much this. I hate the moral high horse that liberals ride on more than anything.

The enemy that tells you to your face they want to kill you is better than the enemy that smiles at you while sliding a knife into your back.

It's the lesser evil if you live in the imperial core, otherwise it's just intersectional war crimes
