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.

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

Ah to be a centrist lib swimming in the warm ocean of experience, happily drifting like a jellyfish and bouncing along without analysis or concern for the future

Pack it up, comrades. We've been completely owned by nirvana-level enlightened centrism.

People literally have no idea what they're talking about when discussing "woke" or any other related matter (CRT, cancel culture, etc). It's all political.

The holy center theory/horseshoe theory is so tired. These people have no actual solutions and don't stand for anything at all.

They want to feel smart and above it all as the voice of reason and superiority, like the cool kids on South Park or the based atrocity drunk man on Rick and Morty.

II think he and I would get along. I consider myself a moderate centrist. I think both Anarcho-Communism and Marxist-Leninism make good points and the best policies would be a pragmatic compromise between both sides.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Marxist-Communism it is then.

Yet they seem to be anti woke lmao, how can they be this much of the trope LIB with just one sentence.

[–] [email protected] 18 points 1 year ago

Extremism is when you think human rights are actually pretty cool

[–] [email protected] 15 points 1 year ago

when your understanding of politics is entirely instinctual and you think oppressed/oppressor is something that needs to be balanced like a tightrope walk

[–] [email protected] 14 points 1 year ago

So we need a left, with a right?

I think i found someone for them

Except Xtreme treatbrained apathy and status quo compliance. bootlicker

A bird needs two wings to fly, a left and a right

sure I've read theory. if you put all your points into mind then you might get killed on the mailbox, but if you put everything into body then you might get killed by your tie. that's how you know extremism is no good.

I put all my points into strength so I can throw barrels at italian plumbers.

I put all my points into soul and got killed by a ceiling fan

This just screams "I don't like women who stand up for themselves and want a victim to abuse, not a partner."

People whose speech is totally drenched in radlib sensibilities are unbearably annoying, but I suspect this person doesn't just mean that.
