Libs gotta learn that reflexively taking the opposite position of chuds will only be correct about 95% of the time. The other 5% is why Theory was invented

It’s a pretty easy ideology 95% of the time. You just find out what they’re doing and immediately contradict it. I can see why it’s popular.

Yeah good point. Starting to realize liberalism as a set of beliefs is just a barely-connected series of talking points and word-games placed in all the right conversations and institutions like pinball buffers, designed to keep you bouncing around a mental maze instead of just noticing the obvious truth in your payslips. They can only keep it so freakishly clean looking because theres billions of dollars and dozens of think tanks behind it frantically laying tracks ahead of themselves like Bugs Bunny

I mean, isn’t this what chuds do as well? Is it even ideology at that point, as opposed to just team sports?

They have a lot more “for” than “against”. Being for country, for their own kind, for families, etc. Meanwhile when 5% of what you do is not knee-jerk contradicting the other side…

Correct 🥳 I have argued with both of these people and they’re subtly stupid relative to what their jobs are

why are they tripping over their own legs with this one. Parenti already solved this connundrum of state media sometimes reporting the truth. Turns out they will occassionally report the truth! Wow

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
