I’m sure that the patron saint of drone strikes is really broken up over having supported a bad thing.

Why are we dunking on Briahna Joy Gray she has occasional lib takes but she’s one of the best checkmark posters on the bird site by far.

I think a critical difference between the online right and the online left is that when the right finds a big name that is “on their side”, they flock around them and support them, eventually leading them further down their pipeline and radicalizing them. It’s positive reinforcement basically, our monkey brains love that. These personalities find a new audience and whenever they say more right-wing shit, they get cheers, so they keep going deeper and deeper.

Meanwhile the left does the opposite. No surprise the big content creators and streamers all become libs, appealing to leftists is just not worth the massive headache it entails because as soon as you say anything out of line, a significant portion of your followers is just done with you.

Basically I think dunking on people like BrieJoy is counterproductive. Audiences influence personalities just as much as vice versa. For all intents and purposes she is on our side, if we want to get anywhere we need to support people like her and radicalize them through positive reinforcement rather than alienating her.

Are you suggesting that leftists personalities turn into conservatives because of Twitter mentions?

I’m suggesting that personalities who might be on the path to become leftists get alienated in part by twitter mentions

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
