Thank you Hexbear for not being like disgusting shit in this pic. There are far too few sites like Hexbear. This is quite sincerely the only place safe for everyone on the left.

Why would any fully functioning adult willingly hang out on an image board

You can switch topics (video games, politics, anime, whatever) but the tone remains the exact same, just assholes being dicks to each other and calling each other slurs. Reading this shit is like being stuck in a train car with a group of the most obnoxious kind of thirteen year old boys

Why would any fully functioning adult willingly hang out on an image board

it's embarrassing to admit but
  1. i find people sharing things there that would be censored on twitter (such as testimonies from the civilians in donbass)

  2. there’s a lot of reactionaries there but also a lot of alienated proles

  3. it’s the only imageboard I know of that lets you post PDFs, mp3 files, etc… I actually have gotten a few books from there, and given a few books to people there.

Image boards and dark webs are usually filled with fash but contain some of the realest people you will ever talk to.

I jumped ship though because the fash started pushing out the cool people and they all came to places like here.

Cause people there actually talk politics
The comparison is that on leftypol, arguments on theory frequently devolve into OP’s pic, but you still get good conversations sometimes, whereas Hexbear is essentially a permanent dunk tank with no discussion to begin with.

hey that’s me calling everyone a cracker

board quality has really declined in the last two years, it seems like all the decent people literally logged off and are now organizing in person and all that’s left is all the stupid ass Haz patsoc /pol/ converts trying to simp for the fascist imperialist pigdog running dogs (did I mention that they are d*gs!?) in some idiotic red brown alliance

it’s honestly pathetic how much people there try to pander to /pol/ and the other parts of the internet right, like dude how can you not browse 4chan/8chan for years and not realize right wingers (especially online right wingers) want to fucking kill you for even being like a democrat voter

just a bunch of dumbass white kids lol

ayyyy its me, the pirate poster lmao- I 100 agree with u on that place, I kinda just went there to find a place with left discourse, ended up finding a noxious plume of fire instead it’s fun as fuck to troll the incels on /siberia/ tho ngl. there’s like a single-digit amount of cool ppl still there, most are reactionaries that treat their chauvinism and loserishness as revolutionary. I guess that’s what happens when a bunch of angry suburban boys want to feel special and important and right about everything. I post stuff on there for like glimpses of hope there’s still good, and sometimes u see it, but other times its just a shitfest. A lot of the question threads can literally just be answered with Cultural Hegemony, and a lot of the ppl there just respond with soyjaks to anything that remotely requires thought or discourse. I guess I shouldn’t expect too much good from imageboards, but idk, I don’t rlly know if there is a place for good convos and ppl. I’ve never heard of this place though, maybe I’ll try it out? Something fun to do while I’m purposely being unproductive on porky’s time- :2pac: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsOVlPKyUME

Love that a segment of w*stern “leftism” is just “we should be even more racist and bigoted than the fascist to win over the :grillman: demographic”. This is why the global south is the future of communism, support for feminism and racial justice have always been the top priority of non-west socialists, and now we’re seeing support for LGBT in ascendancy among AES states.

If these “leftist” keep refusing to abandon the reactionary thoughts they held so dear, then frankly that means they’re not on our side in the class war.

Smart enough to understand that capitalism is the problem, not smart enough to understand that racism and bigotry is a product of it

the_dunk_tank

!the_dunk_tank@hexbear.net

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
