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'm always left curious what liberals think black people do for a living. They seem to assume all blue collar jobs are held by redneck whites, so, I guess all black people either have hip media jobs or they're all on unemployment. Yah know, ignore all the black UPS drivers and Home Depot forklift operators you guys probably ignore throughout your day.

ah, you mean the help?

Idk, there is certain blindness of pmcs to those they see beneath them

[–] SuperZutsuki@hexbear.net 26 points 2 months ago

They're simply inveterate racists. No further explanation needed.

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago

This guy isn't a liberal

[–] lil_tank@hexbear.net 8 points 2 months ago

They think they're all doing crime

[–] nocturnedragonite@lemmygrad.ml 6 points 2 months ago

They think we all play sports or rap for a living

This reminds me of people calling Chappell Roan's refusal to endorse Kamala "white feminism"

There is nothing a politician, of either party, hates more than a working person.

"I miss when people thought communism was shallow liberal idpol"

The danger of detaching idpol from class struggle is that you get idiots who only take aesthetics from movements, not materialism.

[–] UlyssesT@hexbear.net 20 points 2 months ago

They'll become "only hardhat jobs are real jobs" ideological puritans but then shit on the hardhats the moment the treats are in trouble.

libbing-out solidarity frothingfash

"I'M not porky, YOU'RE PORKY!"

Reminds me of infrahaz calling baristas bourgeoisie.

[–] LENINSGHOSTFACEKILLA@hexbear.net 11 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Jeez, I forgot about that. Truly one of the most inane takes I've ever heard

[–] DragonBallZinn@hexbear.net 2 points 2 months ago

What a way for him to just reveal he’s a fed.

[–] Comp4@hexbear.net 29 points 2 months ago

Power to the people

[–] Dirt_Owl@hexbear.net 28 points 2 months ago

Fuck your economy.

It never did anything for me

The cope on mainstream subs is incredible. They of course "support the strike, just not so close to the election" or "just not so close to such a devastating hurricane". MFers don't understand the concept of striking at the point of maximum leverage.

I made the mistake of going to the union subreddit and by god, are they actually for unions? Or do they just want unions to parrot the democrat talking points and support them with nothing to return?

As someone who is both very pro-union and a former stevedore: good

The Settleroids/radlib scolds can't help but post Ls.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 9 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I meant post the OP in stupidpol not a post about the strike in general

[–] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

Ooof, but on the linked post that they were referring to, the first thing one sees is black men at the picket line.

We're all in this together, even the Bushnell weirdos. No need to project racial animus.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 4 points 2 months ago (1 children)

No, I’m not in this together with the strasserites

[–] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

The worst "strasserites" are the ones vocally supportive of a multiracial working class movement, truly.

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

supportive of a multiracial working class movement

Yeah bro, that’s totally stupidpol bro

[–] FungiDebord@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I showed you the receipts lol, stay losing

[–] Lussy@hexbear.net 1 points 2 months ago

100% of those bigots didn’t look at that picture.

[–] peeonyou@hexbear.net 18 points 2 months ago

good fuck the economy, what has it ever done for any of us?

[–] HumanBehaviorByBjork@hexbear.net 12 points 2 months ago

Richard Hanania is open Nazi and considered weird even by other Nazis. Not sure what exactly he was going for here.
