Most of the bitching about cancel culture is stupid, but it’s amazing how fast everyone on twitter turns on someone like an inch from them politically and tries to prove they are a nazi on a barest shred of evidence.

I still at disbelief at the Antisemitic Christman Reptiles thing. It’s kinda affected my attitude to what can probably be described as “standpoint epistemology” popular on twitter.

I never really understood the Mattstream stuff about people obsessively jockeying for position in online spaces by trying to separate the virtuous from the damned, but then I started reading Twitter threads and bios instead of just screenshots and everything sort of clicked.

Seems like I’m bad at searching shit on twitter, but Matt posted a photo of Alex Acosta (who’s not jewish) and made a joke about conspiracy theories being onto something considering how reptilian he looks. Immediately a couple of prominent jewish leftist accounts cancelled him and the whole pod by association for doing antisemitic tropes.

Same shit happened to Contrapoints at points when she made a video where she discussed capitalism using the reptilian metaphor.

Edit: Found the screenshot of the original tweet.

Create post

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
