It’s that person that thought Putin wants to reinstate the USSR and refused to denounce Israel without equating Palestinian “guilt.”

They wandered into a dunk tank post, debate perverted, and whined on Lemmy.world

I’m the proud commenter who spent 1h of my life reading through the bullshit links he was sending me, writing down a summary of the “information” contained in the links, and then replying to him. It was exhausting and pointless because ultimately they weren’t acting in good faith, but hey, at least some of you remember

I’ve been in the same situation where some plebbitor spams you with links that are all the same article slightly rephrased pointing to the same Adrian Zenz source(s) and they go silent after you point that out, only to start it back up later. They’re so emotionally welded to hating China. Fuckin’ losers.

I’m really glad that you did because I can link your arguments in that guys thread as examples of how there absolutely were good faith explanations and give them a wider audience.

Observing these kinds of discussions is what moved me towards hexbear.

Yeah that was a fun thread, or would be if not that shameless asshole who very visibly avoided every single effortpost but constantly posted shit to stoke the flames.

I tried explaining who Zenz is to that user here when one of the websites he used had 5 sources from other different websites who ALL go back to Zenz.

they’re less like the meeting room of a communist party than like the bar where those communists hang out and drink beer, after the meeting is over.

I actually really like this description. I’m amazed at the number of people in this thread who actually somewhat get it. It’s heartening <3

That’s exactly why I love it here. I can just be myself, no need to walk on eggshells or fear being misunderstood, and I don’t always have to resort to debatebroing. I dunno if many people here recognized me from my older Lemmy.ml account, but debatebroing was all I did, and it got tiring. I still do it, but far less frequently and I enjoy my time here a lot more!

Basically, it’s a super cozy space here and I love y’all for welcoming me here

Folks is our reputation improving? I’m seeing pretty even splits in terms of people defending our instance vs. scratched libs. Some even saying we changed their minds on things.

Crumbling material conditions and the Palestinian genocide.

The US backing of Israel as well as the genocide getting more traction in the public mind has lifted the veil for a lot of “libs who only called themselves libs because they believed it was the left leaning side”.

You can tell the US is SUPER pissed that the truth about Palestine got traction. (The whole reason they want to ban TikTok is because they believe that was the weak link in their control of the narrative)

Yeah I think global platforms showing the genocide have been a massive problem for libs. It’s hard to feel morally superior to someone while you’re defending the people mutilating children on a post showing the mutilated kids. It starts to puncture the illusion of being the reasonable good guy when you’re telling people to ignore the bodies.

And their vassals too, like Germany is arresting Jews for antisemitism because they criticized Israel and France just did a public intimidation spectacle arrest of a nurse who was back from Gaza and telling people what really happens there.

Even then I usually operate a one or two-strike policy when a first strike policy would be perfectly acceptable.

I’d say that’s true. There’s a lot of well read people here who are absolutely willing to be patient with someone who was combative from the start or the second it’s apparent they didn’t read the room and thought whatever arrogant platitudes they posted were gonna go over just fine and then didn’t. They come to our house and act out of line, they’re gonna get ripped to shreds because it’s our space.

I’m flattered that they’re still malding over a comment I made more than a year ago. Dot world libs only wish they had that kind of posting power.

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
