the political literacy among lemmy liberals is magnificent to behold
the_dunk_tank
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 [email protected]
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
That thread is a goldmine of headlines, starting with "I'm a dirty commie removed hippie dick suckin left wing lib (not a meme, I am literally a Liberal Democrat)"
this is actually gold. 10/10 site tagline
not a meme is better than /s
They are so poisoned by neoliberal propaganda they think that they are they most left position humanly possible, so anyone that disagrees with them MUST be right wing. They can't imagine a position more left than them. They don't even comprehend what that position could possibly look like
I can't believe that liberals think they are the end point of the left, the most fanatical egalitarians, and that everyone else is trump or hitler.
it spits on the graves of millions of communists who did far better than they ever will
they will try to erase us from history if its the last thing they do
Yah, laddie. Ya could call me ah bit o' a Republican, aye.
honestly, I love that- like how on earth did this confused chud wander in here, with all this "lenin this and mao that" and think, finally! a place to discuss right-wing, conservative, republican issues!
tragic
Reminds me of comments you'll sometimes see on /r/shitliberalssay. Just zero political or historical literacy.
Prominent German-American Marxist August Willich was a supporter of the Republican Party.
CHECKMATE TANKIES
before i got into communism the most exposure i had to communist people in history was right wing people making "edgy" jokes about them, so it makes sense to me in a way
i don't think they actually believe we're right-wing, i think they're just being passive aggressive in a Certified Civilized Liberal voice
if ukraine wanted to have a global power looking after them they shouldn't have left the soviet union.
That's what 70% of Ukrainians voted for. The breakup of the Soviet Union was illegal and against the will of its people.
