“Communism took root on Reddit because redditors see themselves not as spoiled teenagers and man children, but as temporarily embarrassed revolutionaries.”

This is it. We did it. Peak comedy.

Capitalism took root in the world because people see themselves not as unequal wage slaves, but as temporarily embarrassed millionaires.

Well, when saying what the right action to take is a bannable offense, you limit then kinds of discussions you could get.

Somebody was posting in one of the general thread about how blackpilled some of these people are about the actual state and future of the US, and I think you can see that reflected in the constant attempts at infantilizing their opponents as material conditions in capitalism continue to deteriorate and radicalize people away from their ideology. They just get really butthurt and bitchy that people could ever think neoliberalism sucks ass.

I genuinely can’t think of a bleaker ideology than “this is the best we can do and we shouldn’t try anything else and you’re a child if you think we should do anything different.”

Being a liberal is fucking depressing. I used to be one, and it generally meant watching things get worse and worse without really understanding why or having any idea what could be done about it.

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
